Chris - Burman Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 what does it mean, i saw it in a post earlier, i think that it has somthing to do with not being able to get a freewheel of a crank arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Strips of coke can are used to wedge in crank/bb tapers to pack them out if they are stretched. Also can be used on a heavily flared headtube to keep the headset cups from wobbling.Not quite sure how/why you would use it to remove a freewheel.

Dan6061 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 You can use bits of Coke cans for all sorts of bodges! I had a load of strips as a spring in my hub at one point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhazedRezza Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 It means. : - If you cant fit it - Shim it!I'm a cnc programmer and machine lots of interlocking tapers for many different applicationsA coke can is, in many ways, a good way to shim/pack/repair tapers or fill out worn interfierence (drive) fit holes.Proper shims from a merchant cost lots of money.Coke cans are cheap.Dont see how you could use one to remove a freewheel though!Would like to see that!
