Self-Extracting Crank Bolt question
I've just picked up a new pair of cranks for my pre-isis KH/Onza hub. My old pair has self-extracting bolts on them, and I thought I'd just swap those over to my new ones. But I have two problems with that: 1. I don't have a pin spanner, which is the tool used to install and remove the bolts from the crank arm. 2. The bolts seem like they must be loctited on, because they I can't get them even to budge with my "workaround" tool (a set of circlip pliers that fit, if not perfectly, in the pin holes). Anybody know the size I need for a new set to install in the new cranks? Or have other suggestions? -- pkittle *========================== Peter Kittle * Chico, CA "The Revolution is just a t-shirt away." --Billy Bragg ==========================* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pkittle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12111 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Self-Extracting Crank Bolt question
Peter- I think this is a tool that they will have at your local bike shop. I may be wrong but any special tools required for servicing standardized parts should be available there. -- harper -Greg Harper *jc is the only main man. there can be no other.* "Natural logs are what you ride on a Mun'e'." - kevinalexandersmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Self-Extracting Crank Bolt question
I have those cranks, and the threads are backwards, so you might be turning them the wrong direction. They have the self extracting bolt kit at UDC US, for 5 dollars. I think you need to order the bolts, and the rings separately so it's probably 10 bucks w/o shipping. -- jtrops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jtrops's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17262 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Self-Extracting Crank Bolt question
D'oh! I'll check on the backwards threads thing; I hadn't tried turning the other way. Maybe that'll take care of the issue. I'll also check at the LBS for the tool. You can never have too many tools! -- pkittle *========================== Peter Kittle * Chico, CA "The Revolution is just a t-shirt away." --Billy Bragg ==========================* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pkittle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12111 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Self-Extracting Crank Bolt question
So it turns out that the left-handed threads were the only stumbling block; I was able to remove the bolts with my circlip pliers easily once I turned them the right direction. So my KH24 now has fashionable 140s instead of the oh-so-trite 165s. I'm hopeful this'll help me spin a little better, and make the transition between my 29er (with 150s) and the 24 a little less drastic. Thanks again for the help and suggestions. -- pkittle *========================== Peter Kittle * Chico, CA "The Revolution is just a t-shirt away." --Billy Bragg ==========================* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pkittle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12111 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Self-Extracting Crank Bolt question
Glad I could help. Now I just need to find a set of shorter cranks, I could use some 150's, but at this point it will be cheaper to buy a new moment hub/crank combo than to buy new kh/onza cranks. -- jtrops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jtrops's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17262 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74214 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
