Yes, Yes! What was I thinking???
I was trying to use Marten's explanation concerning pedals in regards to fixed cups and wasn't paying attention?
RH pedals have RH threads that tighten clockwise. LH pedals are the opposite so that they don't work loose.
Crossover tandem crank arms with chainrings on the left side have LH pedal threads which is why they are scarce.
