hello guys

right got the new United bb on my bike it goes like s*it off a shovel, im really pleased! :smitten:

now i got a new problem  :( yesterday i went to St. George skatepark in Bristol and then me and my mates decided to go to a quality bmx shop and i thought i'd buy myself some 'Seventies' plastic pedals that totally match the colour of my bike :smitten:, fitted the left one sweet as a nut but the right one will not budge! now i run Primo Hollowbite cranks and where axle of the pedal threads in there is an insert and whenever i turn it to get the pedal off the insert just goes round and round and then goes extremely tight and the pedal wont budge! :'( :'( what do i do!!

thanks zak

dodger:
there SHOULD be a small indent in the back of the arm that matches up with the insert i had this with some kona mtb cranks and just taped a small pin in place to stop the movment,this is the only way i no of this if this dousent aply then sorry cant help :(

magna13:
Would you know how to do this dodger? could i bring you the crank arm next time i see you?

Zak

magna13:
what do i do people? can the pedal arm be taken to a shop and be able to remove my pain in the ass of a DMR V8 or will i need a new insert?? :-\ :( :-\ :(

dodger:
i dont mind having a go for u mate u no that. any chance we can get a pick of the back of the arm whare the insert isso we no what to work with? i no the inserts are replacable but its wether u need one or not.
