Cranks destroyed
What a disaster! But kind of a good disaster. I finally, finally got those bolts off. Had to enlist my very strong neighbor, and even he couldn't loosen it until we oiled it up well and he applied all his might. Then, I looked at the cranks and something wasn't right. It took me a while to figure it out. They -are- splined cranks! This was a surprise to me because I was pretty sure that the description of the unicycle I bought did not say splined, but in fact, 'this' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1057) is my unicycle. I was confused because this was -not- the one I ordered. Apparently, I got a free upgrade, without even knowing it. They were just switching over to the new Nimbus II with ISIS hubs when I ordered and I got the new one for the price of the old one. So I have the wrong cranks and the wrong tool. The good news is, I can return the cranks at least and get some of my money back. The bad news is, the correct cranks cost more. However, the bike shop will do the work for me (no more DIY for me, no thanks) very cheap since it is such a quick job (ha ha I've wasted quite a bit of time on this already, I'll spare you the rest of the story). No unicycling for me until at least the middle of next week. -- Universal Unicorn placeholder for signature ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Universal Unicorn's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15518 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/69997 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
