HargrovesToby Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 check the pitches on the threads mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 the threads dont go i think the sproket screws on a tiny bit then locks up and wont budge , i haven't stripped the threads or anything How many rotations does it go on? If it's screwed on more than 3 or 4 turns, it'll screw on all the way when you pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshlyd1 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 No it doesn't even screw once are pitchs the top bits of the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 the threads dont go i think the sproket screws on a tiny bit then locks up and wont budge , i haven't stripped the threads or anything Put a chain around the sprocket then into a vice and try it.

joshlyd1 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 i dont want to ruin the threads though because i cant afford to break this stuff and just wanted to know if its like this always on the rockman lite cranks i tested the crank threads with a different sproket and it went on but it was really knotchy is this normal?

Borat Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looking at the Halo sprockets, I thought it might have something to do with that Josh. Hope you get it sorted mate, ride soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
