Cranks feel weird ? On My Rickman Freestyler
« on: August 21, 2010, 11:54 PM »
Geting  my NOS  Rickman  freestyler up together for the london ride  :daumenhoch:

Got  NOS ( No Name ) single piece crank , and NOS Blue cage pedals..    But feels weird when you ride it ?? 

 Like the  crank is bent or the threads machined , in wrong ..

Can see the NOS Stock pedals being wrong , shall I just get another  1 piece cranks and whack on it ??


Dont fancy riding it all round london , like i am Pissed   :2funny:

You could try another crank if you think this one is wrong but if you spin it you should notice the angle of the pedals change.  use a spirit level and it will make it obvious if it is bent or miss aligned threads  :daumenhoch:

could also be bent pedal spindles (even if the are new) try differant pedals first as that is easier than pulling the crank out  :daumenhoch:
