Catatonic_Joe Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hi guys, I messed up the pedal threads on my spinning bike and seeing that warm seasons are coming to a close, I need to get it sorted out. I need left and right crank arms that do have a the spider part on the right. Basically, this is what I need:http://www.seriousjuggling.com/images/unicycle-parts/torker-lx-unicycle-crank-arms.jpg Any idea where I can get this from, been to a couple cycle shops, and no one seems to have them.
Shepherd Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Put on some overalls and pretend you are a technician to fix up some bikes at Virgin Active....
V12man Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Take them to an engineering shop and have thread inserts put in. There are also a couple of hubbers who have the skills and tools for this too.... ask nicely (not me)
BigDL Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Let me know if you don't come right. I can probably source a couple for you.
Catatonic_Joe Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Please, if anyone has the tools that can sort this out. Please let me know, I will obviously pay.

Thanks for the offers of assistance guys, but ampandy has sorted them out for me. Thanks ampandy, really appreciate your help. One again I'm really impressed by the extent at which hubbers are willing to help each other.
Ampandy Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Dude!!!! The impossible I can do now, miracles take slightly longer......
Ampandy Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 It's a pleasure Catatonic_Joe, but why are you afraid of the winter weather??
the nerd Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 It's a pleasure Catatonic_Joe, but why are you afraid of the winter weather?? Was going to ask the same, honestly my favorite time of the year to ride.. waking up is more difficult but once i'm out there I love it.
Catatonic_Joe Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 In the warm months I get quite a bit a training done by commuting to work and back, I leave home at 6:00 to be at work by 6:30 so I have enough time to shower and get dressed to start working at 7. In winter it's dark and freezing cold at that time of the morning, and I hate riding in the dark freezing cold. I still go riding outdoors on weekends though, just later than I would in the summer months. So I use the spinning bike on winter during the week to make up for the commutes.
Ampandy Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Dude!!!! That's no excuse. I'm out at 4 30 summer and winter and again in the evenings at 7. Pay a visit to anatomic and get some kit to kill the wind.
