Mark W Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well, before you splash any cash then, a few Q's:Are you using a torque wrench to do up your crank arms? Guessing no Does your freewheel have ground down tabs or are they fully un-ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing no Does your freewheel have ground down tabs or are they fully un-ground?I just use an allen key to tighten it which is probally why its gone...and by tabs do you mean the 4 pieces of metal sticking out for the freewheel tool?

Jason Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I was thinking about grinding them, but wasn't sure if I'd still be able to get the freewheel off, asI've tried and failed already :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 A-ha, nice You can get the freewheel off if the tabs aren't on it, but it'd defo mean a new freewheel. It'd probably be an alternative to having to buy a freewheel now I suppose? Just don't go all Incredible Hulk when you do the cranks up next time and it'll be dandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd probably be an alternative to having to buy a freewheel now I suppose? Just don't go all Incredible Hulk when you do the cranks up next time and it'll be dandy sweet. I'll just have a little play with some power tools cheers for your help mark EDIT:// ha ha I took it down my lbs, and they couldn't get the freewheel off either... so I've ground the tabs down for now (all works well ), and I'll take a hacksaw to it at a later date.^^ Just thought I'd post up the results, incase anybody searched.
