Re: The MTB thread
Even one of it assembled would help

Re: The MTB thread
Sorry for the delay. Managed to get the bracket out but have been left with this:
 Threadless repair bracket has been ordered.

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

Re: The MTB thread
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

Re: The MTB thread
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!

Re: The MTB thread
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
