I want to get myself a bike stand purely for washing my bike, I'm not talking about a maintenance stand, I'm talking about something that can be whipped out of my man cave quickly so I can just wheel by bike into on the floor that'll keep it stood up so I can give it a quick rinse off when it...
UK mud, I love that, trust me here in the UK there's different levels of mud, that stuff that falls off when you just look at it and some that's so hard you could use it to sole your shoes with :ROFLMAO: its many and varied ;)
I’m no expert but if it’s not staying tightened up I would buy a new retainer, chainring and an ‘O’ ring and do that sooner rather than later before it causes any other issues mate and I’d be tempted to get advice on possible wear on the thread’s and spline’s on the motor as I’m not sure what to...
I must admit that I’m disappointed with Hope, why would anyone want black caps on their crank arms unless they were black crank arms, it’s just a way of getting another £20 out of their customers plus the £10 for the special tool to remove the caps, if I have this issue again I will seriously...
To be honest Mike I’m not sure about the final position of the caps but when I finally get them off I will make sure, I don’t want to go through this again 👍
This is the thing Mike, when anyone buys Hope crank arms they come with black caps regardless of the colour of the crank arms, why I’ve no idea but it is what it is, I bought red caps and fitted them with no issues whatsoever, it’s since then that I’ve had issues with the drive side crank arm...
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to establish if the motor splines are worn by sight unless I remove the non drive side and compare the two that way, the non drive side has been fine and never come loose
I’ve been using thick sticky marine grease for most of the tasks on my bike and in all fairness it’s worked fine, this is the only time I’ve had an issue with something coming loose, my pin spanner arrives today, I’ll see if I can get the caps off and I’ll refit the crank arms using the...
That’s what I’ve got already but in a tin instead pal, I bought it many years ago when I used to do all my own car repairs, nowadays I just work on my bike instead 🤣🤣 thanks Steve, your a gentleman 🙏🙏
Thanks buddy, and thanks for your patience with me 😁 if I ever get the bloody caps off and fit my new caps, I’ll be sure to never not use copper grease on them ever again, just one last thing, do you use copper grease on the actual splines of the motor too, I’m talking about the splines that the...
