Ive got one. if you can make it camden tomorrow you can borrow it. But you can use a coin instead iirc.

If you are removing a crank arm make sure you back the pinch bolts off before trying to back off the preload cap.

Hang on, which are the pinch bolts?

The two allen bolts that clamp the arm on to the axle.

You need to back them off before the preload cap will budge, as when the allen bolts are tightened the crank arm closes, clamping the preload cap in place.

Cheers. Thought those were them. I was trying to put a pic but my phone is having none of it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
