ChristopherJC Posted August 3, 2010 Share Alright, I have all the goodies.. tx Brights. I have taken the frame apart, removed the shock and cleaned it up. However..... How the hell do you undo the bottom bracket/pivot? It has an allen-key bolt in it, removed, but there doesn't seem to be any way to take it apart? Any Raleigh RDS 9.0 frame owners out there?

ChristopherJC Posted August 4, 2010 Share Sammajoor, you joke!!!?!?! I call City Cycles. They are not too sure and can't talk me through it over the phone (I'm technically minded and managed to srip the rest of the bike.. so I can't be that daft?) - please come through to the shop. [i apologise if the chap that was on duty last night is reading this, but seriously, I'm not impressed, at all.] "Ok cool, what will you charge me to remove the bottom bracket?", " I'm not sure, it depends.", "Alright, I'm on my way." I arrived and we went to the back. He looks at the frame and immediately, I can tell he has no idea how to remove it. I watch google-eyed as he takes a hammer and allen-key to the frame - ultimately mashing the thread inside the joint that they allen-key bolt 'used' to screw into. Eventually he gives it to the lacky in the work-shop, after having fked it up, and says "I'm going to leave this with you." He walks out. Google-eyed again, I stand there in the workshop with my threadless frame in hand. Annoyed and frustrated. So I took their tools and re-threaded the thing myself and left. So now.. I am in the same boat. Blasted Raleighs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spraying involves thinners.This man is seriously damaging his health. (and possibly the health of others).He and his employer are contravening the law.

gummibear Posted August 4, 2010 Share There is also a law that says you can't steal but it's done daily.Laws are meant to be broken.Sounds like you just got out of traffic cop school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
