getting pedals out of Primo Hollowbites?

(1/2) > >>

ED209:
whats the process?

is there a lock nut on the back you need to take off first?

found this info but need some specific instructions : http://www.bikeguide.org/forum/index.php'topic=170555.0

how can you tell if you have a titanium spindle?

cheers all  :)

pickle:
i take it the pedal threaded round bit is just spinning in the crank arm?   ???

Spen69:
Ed soak them in diesel and I will bring my vice and some hammers tomorrow night and see if we can sort them. Steve Animal will be there as well, so I bet we can sort it out :knuppel2: :2gunsfiring_v1: :Great_Britain:

Any chance of a picture so I can have a think? Not familiar with the cranks tbh :-\

There's no lock nut Ed - same as any other crank it's just they're a right barsteward to get peds out. Basically soak em for a few days then try getting the peds out. Danger is is that you tw@t em so hard that the steel insert twists in the ally arm and you end up with a fooked set of cranks.

The second gen of Pr1mo cranks (the first with the inserts) were renown for doing this and Pr1mo at the time offered a  free replacement if it happened. Well better on the later arms though.

Ti spindle - basically weight - weigh the spindle and compare to a steel one (I can weigh one if you need it) - sometimes Ti is a bit 'duller' than steel n'all (unless it's polished etc).

*ninja edit* just read Hollowbites lol - was thinking Powerbites  :LolLolLolLol:

The 'locknut' you can see on the back of the arms is for the insert for the peds, not for securing the pedals in there.
