What is this piece and how do I fix it?
(lemmy.nz)
Got an old bike that has this piece in between the crankset and the frame. It’s very loose and keeps rolling around and getting in the way of the chain when I pedal. How can I remove it or make it stay fixed in one place?
Yeah, from what I understand, not easy to remove cranks without special tools. Dremel might work, but maybe a bike shop might be easier/safer/quicker.
Edit: short term fix, zip tie it to the tube so it doesn't move?
That’s a great quick fix idea - thanks!
That or twine, whichever you have on hand.
Twine?! Really? Be a professional, zip tie or electrical tape, anything less is mediocrity /s
