Wanted: Profile crank tool.

Posted on
  • Hello people, does anyone have a Profile crank tool that I could borrow?

    If based in South London that'd make life easy!

    Cheers,

  • Want to change my sprocket but to do so I need to remove the RH crank.

    It appears that no shop apart from Brixton Cycles have one and they shut at 6.

  • You don't always need them, screw the bolts out so there's only 3/4 threads left and hit the top of the bolt with a hammer till the axle pushes through a 1/2" or so. Spray in a bit of WD40, give them a wiggle and the cranks normally come off. If you've got a longer bolt that fits, that will let you get the axle further through.

    I've just had a look in my toolbox and found 2 of the little bastards. I'm pretty sure this is a legit way of taking your cranks off as you don't use the collar to take off your cranks just the long bolt.

    Still I wouldn't go ape, just lots of sharp hits. If they were put on with coppaslip and haven't been sitting out in the rain for the last year you'll be right.

  • Nice, will give that one a try.

    If however someone has the proper tool for the job give me a shout!
