Yeah I think it's the thing you hammer through I'm after, I just said crank puller or whatever as I don't know what it's called.

Hmmm, my minimal research and understanding makes me think you undo the crank bolt then use the tool on the threads of the spindle.

Aha, best get a crank remover jobby then.
I'll have another go at just undoing it then, I was worried the insert would come out with it an then I'd be stuck.
Yep, right in left, they have sprocket holes on each which is why I didn't notice at first. I'll swap it round then so I can forget it.
Cheers both!

1. do i NEED a profile crank puller to remove profile cranks? i have euro bb
2. i have a pedal stuck in the insert of a powerbite and have tried tightening it more and then undoing x10... what's next?
3. because i'm a complete boner i put my (sprocket bolt) profile's on the wrong way and only just noticed when i put some new pedals on. it's been fine tho so apart from the pedals being the wrong way round is it a problem? it doesn't seem to be although i will change them round anyway.

« on: June 02, 2015, 11:07:00 AM »
should have put this up ages ago
i filed the inside of the stem a bit, cleaned the gunk off the bars and put some fibre grip (which is grippy paste to put on carbon fibre parts) in there for the fuck of it and it seems to have solved the problem
still not taken it down the park properly yet but it's been fine jumping about
i did both sides and the top aswell:

i'm glad this has generated a bit of debate considering it's a pretty mundane topic
where do people stand on slot on vs threaded?

« on: May 21, 2015, 04:06:51 PM »
again, thanks for the input
particularly cmc4130 for da knowledge. i think tom/ sasha nailed it in the first post but it's good to know why
and yes g, i really want to ride one to see what the fuss is about (hence the interest in this haro) for myself, luckilly for you i never leave london but thanks for the offer! however in return if you are ever in the big smoke you'd be welcome to come to an alleycat or do a checkpoint
that goes for anyone on here tho, next one's next friday (29th), check my subtle tumblr in my sig for upcoming events. if anyone wants to race you can ride any bike you like: brakes, gears, whatevs. pm me if so
edit: although i still don't understand if there is a difference between a cruiser and a 24" if someone could clarify

if i can get the bits off it i want cheap, i will, but otherwise i'll let it go
What parts would you want off that bike? It's all heavy duty stuff from another era (early 2000's). Not even the wheels would be a good idea because new school 24"s require a small sprocket, and that rear wheel won't take a small freewheel.
just the frame forks and wheels (rims), it was just because the opportunity is there really and i know the guy so could possibly work something out
more out of interest than anything really, i've got my bmx for bmxing and fixie for work/ distance so it would be an inbetweener and also if someone came over who didn't have a bike as i live a bit far from town
when did cruisers come out? i din't think they were that old
interesting about the sprocket, i was going to get a big old one to put on it

The Bike Shop / cruiser or 24 advice
« on: May 19, 2015, 02:38:43 PM »
since i saw them i wanted to try out what a big bmx would be like (are they 24's or cruisers? what do you call them?) and now i've come across someone who has one for sale
it's definitely a raw haro backtrail frame and forks, i found a pic off the net and it looks the same (below) but i'll get one of the actual thing this week and post it up
all the parts on it look pretty shite or very old but i have most of the bits i'd want to exchange on it in my spares box
i think i'd only want the frame, forks, wheels, tyres from it but the guy's asking £275 all in, i think i'll haggle him down for just the bits i want
the front wheel was a quanda hub if i remember...
what is the going rate for frame, forks, wheels, tyres of this size second hand?
do you use normal bmx bars on them or smaller ones?
if you have one, do you run pegs on it?
any advice or whatever would be good really
this isn't the bike on offer but it is the same frame and forks

The Lounge / Re: General election
« on: May 15, 2015, 06:30:20 PM »Just on the subject of hospital waste, I work in the ER and 100% of everything we use is disposable except for tooth extraction trays, chest tube insertion trays, the "blades" you use to intubate people, and the actual drill for putting IVs into bone (everything used except the actual drill is disposable). Every scalpel, every pair of tweezers, forceps, wound stapler, blood pressure cuff, oxygen sensor, etc to infinity is disposable. Even the pillows we have are one time use. I've got no clue how it can be cheaper to throw everything away than to clean and reuse it.
