The Bike Shop / Odyssey Thunderbolt Woes

« on: September 05, 2015, 09:16:40 AM »

Can't get my Thunderbolts off of the bike, and I'm stumped. I use the anti seize compound included with the cranks, I've removed them 2-3 times before, but this time it's like they're welded on. I need to replace my old sprocket and these otherwise great cranks have thrown a wrench in the works.

I've used a rubber mallet to smack the arms, nothing has budged. I've used the 17mm hex arm to hit the spindle (small enough to avoid the cluster) and no movement. Even tapped on the spindle bolt, nothing, but don't want on beat on that important threaded bolt.

Only thing I can think is some WD 40 and let it sit, but I really don't like WD40 anywhere near my bike. Anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it? Suggestions?

Last question, what would be a better option for an anti seize compound? I have a big tube of Phil Wood grease and no more of the included anti seize compound. Would that work? Not psyched on being unable to get these cranks off, and really not psyched on whatever that bronze stuff was. Wanna get out and shred soon, not be ordering crap online/waiting for labor day weekend to be over.

Thanks!

- Vulcan cable hanger w/ two extra set screws
- 40" Sunday linear cable

Bike Gallery / S̶l̶o̶w̶ Fast and Steady Wins the Race

« on: June 27, 2015, 07:46:10 PM »

Built up my new Steadfast last night and got to ride it this morning. Last frame was a Broadcaster with 13" rear end and 75* head tube, almost forgot how much more I like these longer rear ends and slacker head tubes. Also, first time I've had chain tensioners in a decade, mainly since I ditched the pegs. Makes life way easier. Waiting for brake cable to arrive to put on my beloved brakes.
