I’ve been taking magnesium, zinc and a high dose vitamin / mineral they seem to have kept my cramp at bay but makes your wee look like orange juice

Tut! Silicone not finished off near the bath, on bottom picture. 8O

This….

Don’ tell the wife. :wink:

I don’t use levers you should be able to get the tyre off/on without them. Get a grip. :wink:

Just a quick update, I managed to find some 10mm pipe that I sometimes use for tapping bearings out. So I thought I would try it on the other pedal. Worked a treat because it was slightly mushroomed at the end it fitted in the body of the pedal and made contact with the internal bush, so I used that and was than the screwdriver.

I’ll have pork scratchings and half a bitter please.

Ok here goes.

You will need a 9mm socket 1/4 drive is probably better as I think the wall of the socket is thinner plus a 6mm allen key.

A source of heat, I used a heat gun but a blow torch will do.

A hammer and flat blade screw driver, no too big as you need to get it inside the pedal.

A vice or some sort of clamping arrangement to hold the pedal as it will be a bit hot .

I bought the kit from superstars but now I know the sizes you can just buy the bits separately. The bushes(X2)have 1010 stamped on them and the bearings are, as I can’t read the number OD 13mm ID 6mm Width 5mm and you will need 4 of these.
Just unscrew the end cap then you will see another deeper in the pedal, used to pre-load the bearings, unscrew that one too. Then you will need the 9mm socket to unscrew the nut on the spindle, once this is done the body then should come off. Pick out or tap out the bearings.
DU bush is a bit harder, place the body in the vice so that the end cap side is facing up, get your screw driver and rub it gently down the inside of the hole, you should feel two steps, your after the second one as this is the bush.
Now you need to heat the pedal up just enough the expand the body, then tap out the bush with aid of hammer/driver combo, you might get it out without any heat but I had to as it was tight and I didn’t want to do too much damage.
Forgot to mention measure where the bush sits,it was 25mm on mine, in the hole.
To fit the new bush just tap it home slowly(25mm) re-grease and just reverse the steps you have already done.

I’ll post up later.

You can all stop fretting now, job done. :-)

Thread closed. :wink:

Easy fix just ride backwards, I’m sure there is a mirror contraption to fit on your helmet. :-)

Push the boat out and buy a new frame, you know you want to :wink:

+1 kimbers , it does need to be chewed up to get down to the hard core

You will need to get a screw diver in and tap it out.

What’s her mother like? :wink:

I know someone who had a cracked orange 5 frame, so am I missing something?

I must be doing well then stevede. :roll:

I’ll ave what Junkyard’s been drinking. :wink:

I use it sometimes on the chain, mechs and other stuff just to drive some of the water away after cleaning.

I’m using a 2.35 with 35psi for comfort.

You didn’t miss much in the first one.

I also take the bearings out to add fresh grease, it’s been turning now for over two years and that’s with all year riding. I do you silicone grease on it so I’m not sure if that helps?

Make sure you put the correct measurements in.

The only thing I did on the intense was to fit a thinner shim just to move the stinger away from the rear triangle.

I’m sure bobblehat got a dynamo light/ kit.

Hope you have some LL’s left later this year.

Use a needle file and opened up an old one, it will do for now.

WTF! 8O :lol:

Just measured in imperial and it’s a reading of 0.141 inches.

One of the other mags is doing a free one with subscription(MBR) but don’t tell the mods.

I know the one you mean and I have it in my, never-ending let’s buy a, tool kit. I first tried it over the nipple and then measured, it’s too small the max is 3.4mm with that tool. I’m confussed as I thought they are all a standard size?

It is possible that you may have a faulty clamp arrangement? Silly question but have you removed everything from the clamp and cleaned it plus pit some grease on the blot thread, worth a try?

I used my cc the other day and no probs yet.

Don’t care it’s build to be ridden not to look at. :P

Just jealous.

Just class.

Off today and Monday but in Saturday and Sunday decanting R22. One good thing has come out of it no parlez with the in laws.

I’ll give you £50.

Guy in our club is 63 and still going strong, he also looks about 10 years younger.

Could you please ask next-door to take the washing line down
