Danny's in New York so he asked me to post this since we're going to Whistler soon after he gets back.
On Friday we were taking apart his Demo 8 and packing it up when we ran into a problem. His pedals use an allen instead of a pedal wrench. The first one came off fairly easily, but the second one wouldn't budge (yes, we were turning it the right way). He ended up getting a seat post to get more leverage. After trying and trying we put some grease on it and let it sit for a bit. Again using the seat post for leverage, Danny tried and tried with all his waterpolo might and suddenly the allen shot out and he flew like 5 feet back. At first we were happy that we had gotten it off. Then we realized that not only had we taken off the pedal, but the insert had unthreaded from the crank. Is Danny screwed (haha)? Or can the insert be locktited or something when we get to Whistler?
Thanks for the help.
