kettingwiel Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Hi, I have an old Giant MBT want to start it up again after many years. Can someone please borrow me (or lend me a hand) with a crank-puller and a tool to loosen the internal BB please. I just need to get shese parts out. Alternatively some advice on how to do it without above tools or a name of a bicycle shop that's open on a Sunday in Pta-East, please? I'm living in Faery Glen, Pta area.
Alouette3 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 You will need the tools. I'd help but am in CT.Ask the local bike shop if they have. I bought both tools from Chris Willemse for less then R100 a piece. Unbranded crank puller and an Icetoolz BB tool.
kettingwiel Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks guys.Is there anyone who can help me after hours? Freaken shops are all closed when I get of work.
Alouette3 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I would stay clear from Sportsman's Warehouse. There tools are pricey!
Skylark Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Order a toolkit online, the ones with all the basic bike/mtb specific tools is around R700, you will recoup that in saved lbs charges and convenience rather quickly.
kettingwiel Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Thats too much on tooling, just want to get the parts out - she is 22 years old , planning to make a single speed out of her.
pellieg Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Hotspot cycles are open until 6 , they are very close to you. You can also just drop your bike with them for them to remove the said parts, or get the old bird running for you again,  their  prices arent to bad ,Â
kettingwiel Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks! Took it to Hotspot Cycles and got the crank and BB sorted. Nice spot and service there, will definitely support them in the future.
