Tip Top Top Tips & Little tricks..

A rule for remembering left-hand threads:
If it is near your drivetrain and is not the fixed sprocket lockring; think hard should normal use loosen it, if it had right-hand thread. The right answer is the opposite of what you just thought.

I'm sure this could be put more succinctly... :)

I always just remember: pedals tighten towards the front, BB tightens towards the rear.
