Sorry for the delay. Managed to get the bracket out but have been left with this:

Should be here in a few days. Might take the Calibre for a spin along the Gipping at the weekend after work.

There's a new 10 mile off road trail out Tunstall way, Forestry Commission land, so all legal
I'll seek out once my injuries have stopped hurting, probably on my 29er

I'm trying to get the pedals and crack off my old mountain bike before chucking it, however I'm struggling hugely, I just can't seem to get them to budge at all. are the bolts reverse thread or something? I don't want to go trying to hard and screwing something up, as I would quite like to be able to salvage them to potentially use them on my new bike.
thanks for any helpful suggestions! ![]()

Right hand one (as you sit on it) undoes the normal way, anti clockwise
Left hand one undoes clockwise. But thee a good chance they are completely fused in place. I had a pedal I couldn't undo once. If the cranks are alloy & you are chucking the bike, then just cut through the crank by the pedal spindle, do this top & bottom & the pedal should undo, but the crank will be knackered

I have the crank bolts out, but I still can't get the pedal ones out for some reason. I also can't pull the cranks out once I have undone the bolts they seem to be stuck. so I've chucked some wd40 on it so as to try and loosen things up a bit, but I don't know if this shall work or not at all ![]()
