bike shop idiots destroy bitchin bolts!
go my wheel re built by the local bike shop, the seem to havedone a decent job of the wheel, but what they also did was to strip the treads for my bitchin bolts,(you know, the ones that keep the profile cranks on) well they only stripped the threads off one of them , but they ground about 0.5cm off the other. it looks like they tried to use them to re-install the cranks. i asked them if they needed my profile crank tool, and they said they had one! idiots! i just hope they havent ruined my axle. i'll be in their shop tomorow insisting that they bloody well do something about it. before i have to go to germany on th 26th! can anybody suggest a suitable punishment? -- evilewan - death or glory -- evilewan. see the rec.sport.unicycling maintainance FAQ @ http://evilewan.unicyclist.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evilewan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1047 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/30282 |

bike shop idiots destroy bitchin bolts!
actualy the worst part is that i realy need my unicycle to be working before i have to leave the country. this means that i wont be able to call them all the *******s under the sun, or shove a pair of brooklyn machine works shinburger pedals up the mechanics arse. however i'll be recomending that nobody ever goes there to get their bike serviced. and they'd better offer to replace the bolts asap. and promise to learn how to install profile cranks properly before they even think about servicing somebody elses profiles. -- evilewan - death or glory -- evilewan. see the rec.sport.unicycling maintainance FAQ @ http://evilewan.unicyclist.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evilewan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1047 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/30282 |

as a new profile owner yet to ride them, and awaiting new cranks, could you please enlighten me on these bitchin bolts? Aren't they 'just the crank bolts'? -- Sofa - You Tu Tu Tuni?

yep sofa, the bitchin bolts are just the crank bolts, its justt that profile have a funky name for them. and yeah i've forgot all about that bad link and jagur, yes in adition to their sins they seem to have used the wrong size allen key too. that cant explain the stripped threads and ground down bolt though. i'll get a picture up in a few minutes -- evilewan - death or glory -- evilewan. see the rec.sport.unicycling maintainance FAQ @ http://evilewan.unicyclist.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evilewan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1047 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/30282 |

heres a picture of the badly treated bolts, god only knows why they decided to grind the end offthe one on the left. maybe they completley destroyed the threads on the end of it, and decided to fix it by removing the destroyed part. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: bolts2.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/189208| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- evilewan - death or glory -- evilewan. see the rec.sport.unicycling maintainance FAQ @ http://evilewan.unicyclist.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evilewan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1047 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/30282 |
