Hi,

Got a bottom braket i need to shift out of my steel frame, but its petty stuck.

I just wanted to check that the drive side is a normal thread (anticlockways to undo), before i give it some leaverage and brake something, tightening it by mistake

Cheers

Mark

Thank you, thought i remembered them being something silly about them.

Didn't want to try too hard to remove it, and actually tightening them up.

Makes me wonder when i last changed a bracket, 3 years ago, not bad for a external one. Although this one has been there for about 10 years good old square taper ones 🙂
