Anyone On Here Do Re-Tapping?

Cheers for the offer Gary  :daumenhoch:

And ta for the advice Clint, Oldskool and J - I've re-tapped Profile crank axles before but you can bag new ones if you fook it up so less worry that this bad-boy.

After rooting out me back-up needle file set, some copper-grease, molegrips and spanner she's back in now. A tad tight but I'll work it a bit to ease it (had plenty of practice at that  :LolLolLolLol: ).

Still though, good bit of UK engineering from 1994  :daumenhoch:

Never be bested, that's my thought with these things  ;D
Is that from his home workshop era then?

Dannywhac:
Yeah Clint - he made em for about 6 months before going on to the Fat Shaft 2:



The 2's are fookers to get freewheels off though - to fit bigger bearings in he'd used the thread-in freewheel adaptor, the barsteward always comes out before the freewheel comes off. 9/10 you've gotta cut the freewheel off.

Cool  :daumenhoch:
love a bit of British ingenuity and engineering. The article in the Albion on him was really interesting. Something I could see myself doing in another life away from wood butchery :)

Dannywhac:
 :daumenhoch: Do it Clint!

George's a top bloke - even sent me stuff for nowt before  :4_17_5:
