Fixed Pants™ Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Soooo, why are you asking us I was asking about where i stand, who's fault you lot reckon it'd be...I know a guy who worked in a bike shop for quite some time, yet today he failed to build 2 bikes, fit a brake, helicoil a mount... The list goes onSimply working in a bike shop doesn't necessarily mean much either wayLuke, i shall inform you now, i know my shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Luke, i shall inform you now, i know my shit.This will probably sound how I don't want it to (bad/harsh etc)... but... if you knew your shit, you wouldn't have made this thread:1. You've screwed it on all the way now so there's no going back (you should/would have checked the crank thread before doing this if it felt stiff at any point).2. If it's gone on a few turns by hand there's no way it's cross threaded. Even half a turn cross threaded is impossible by hand.So, since its on the crank now and it went on a few turns by hand at first, it sounds very much like there will be no problem in future as the freewheel has cleaned up the threads sufficiently.

Hendrix Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Fatty. Listen to Adam, that boy knows his stuff. I know jack, so I can't say anything on the matter, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Basically, what Adam said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Finger-er Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 yea but mark, your forgetting this is fatty, hell be right, as he always is, he always does whats best, even if we think its not. and as hes cytech trained, and adam isnt, (well at least it doesnt say on the tarty bikes website) then i should imagine glens got way more knowledge. i mean, does tarty adam even have anything to do with bikes, like fatty works with them and stuff quite a lot.

Max Quinn Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 And I work in a bikeshop myself, i am really quite knowledgeable so i didn't really need to ask someone.I really wish you'd stop saying stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 This will probably sound how I don't want it to (bad/harsh etc)... but... if you knew your shit, you wouldn't have made this threadIt wasn't technical help... It's just i was asking who was to blame and if he should pay or whatever? And with the thread correction bit, fair play, but it's gonna have taken metal off = it's not got all the metal that a normal, unf**ked crank has, however, it seemed to be fine today and tall rob was beasting it around, along with a few others. So i think i'm just gonna ride it until it goes. iCharlie gave me a 6061 echo crank today anyway (cheers), so i might be alright. Do you sell non drive sides only?I really wish you'd stop saying stuff like that.I say it because people don't know what i'm like off this forum, just saying it to let people know i'm not just some person who knows how to fix a puncture and fit a set of bars...

AdamR28 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 But... there's no problem with the cranks, so there will be no 'blame'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hmm, well i'll take the crank into work tomorrow and take the [shit] freewheel off and have a look.Seriously, try-alls are wank. Skipped 4 times at least today. And another guys died today. Seen so many go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 so it's a try-all freewheel and tensile cranks? wasn't there some kind of issue with the first tryall freewheels like they were all really hard to get on almost like the threads were just made too small for the crank?i'm sure i read that on here a while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 so it's a try-all freewheel and tensile cranks? wasn't there some kind of issue with the first tryall freewheels like they were all really hard to get on almost like the threads were just made too small for the crank?i'm sure i read that on here a while agoI had one of the first try-all frewheels on my tensiles, was a fairly snug fit, but in a nice way. Still going actually From having a look yesterday, it seemed reet.Just keep riding chubbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
