no one has mentioned it yet, but make sure you release your front brake to get your back end down. so you go up to front let the rear end rise, then let go of front brake and tuck the bike under you and forwards.
well it defo wasnt cross threaded. i think what the problem was, was that on the freewheel threads there was a bur. because it was on one side of each thread on the crank that was being stripped. its on fine now. i just did what dave said. it didnt take much off i dont think. cheers for your help guys.
ok, i is stripping thin bits of metal off but when i unscrew the freewheel and back on again it goes on real smoothly. anyone think it could just be that the monty freewheel threads are finer and thinner than the crank arm ones? it could be the paint on the cranks.??
ok, just got my echo forged cranks and monty freewheel through post. when i try threading the freewheel on it goes like one turn round then gets reaaaal stiff. like its crossthreaded or sumin..... looks perfectly straight. took it back off and theres little like frays of metal. im stripping something but how???? is it just stiff cos its new??????. what am i striping?
hey man, long time no speak. sadly i cant this sunday, but iv changed my work so i now work saturdays and am free to ride sundays. so hopefully will see your ozony soon
you might want to check that its not the movement of the pads on the rear wheel. they have a slight backwards and forward movement. just put on your brake and push/pull your rear wheel forwards and backwards. if it moves sligtly thats what it will be, and its nothing to worry about.
ill be there ill probs be there at 11, so if anyone else wants to come for then and ride for a bit ill be there. dave, i might meet you at the round wall cos its the only thing i no where it is.lol
