monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Splined as in Middleburn or Shimano HG/UG/whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Actual splined cranks: Take lock ring off, use a mallet and penetrating fluid. Threaded / screw-on cranks: Take a look on the Tartybikes website for video help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'scoolfool Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 cheers guys, do i tighten the sprocket itself in the vice cause theres no freewheel type tool to clamp in and keep it in place like when removing a freewheel if that makes any sense?

You don´t need freewheel remover if you use fixed sprocket just that piece of chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 chain tool Do you mean chain whip? Either way, that won't work - the technique in the video is the easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
