I did tell you not to get them
I believe you did, as I recall 🙁 thing is, that was almost exactly a year ago. And the bearings are still ok! Riding over the alps last week, I was plagued by a creaking which I'm sure came from the BB. Anyway, beside the point.
@theotherjonv – I'm thinking they are on bloody tight – as I undid the 8mm, all felt nice and smooth, I thought the crank was going to drop gently into my hand… instead the top of the self-extractor dropped into my hand.
I've even taken the bike for a ride with no 8mm bolt holding the cranks on. Didn't budge. All those folks who have problems with them coming loose. I wish I f*^%ing did!!
I havent a clue about self extracting crank bolts but can you just take it out and remove it with a crank remover??
Can't find a crank puller with LH thread.
