Hi guys,

does anyone know of a tool or a technique of removing this type of BB?

most of what i can find/have read refers to using a pin spanner but this obviously requires a different sort of tool.

This is my first post by the way and my first amaturish question is when i fit a new BB (probably a shimano un54) do i need to replace the threaded parts that are sticking out of the BB (the threads that the cranks are tightened to)? is it some kind of Axle?

ta for any responses

skinny

i'd be interested in those if kingcutter isn't.

how much delivered?

Just bought this frame, going for a low pro (taste of the summer?)

/attachments/10220

that is a nice looking frame, only one more 'nice looking frame' post to go and i'll be out of the nursary so i can start asking some really stupid questions.

OK

Those metal things are common on 70s / 80s basic 'racers'. There's a thing on BikeSnobNYC (a well-known blog, which is quite knowing and funny about things like the 'fixie' craze) which refers to a 'fixed-gear armageddon' (check out the 'PistaDex'), and part of the prophesy is that signs that the End Times are nigh will appear, such as when someone posts a pie-plate 'fixie' on velospot or whatever it's called.

Basically it'd be pointless to do it (put the metal thing on a new fixed-hub wheel), but bikesnob prophesised that somebody, somehwere would do it to make a bike look 'old skool'.

thanks for clearing that up

Pieplate fixie alert! The end is nigh!

er... what does this mean exactly? the pieplate bit to be precise.

I'm currently working on this...

it is my first conversion, bought the bike for £25 at a local market, just sourcing parts and trying to get my head around how to actuallyput the thing together.
