Here is one for all you ace bicycle mechanics out there! I need to pull the cranks and bottom bracket off my Trek 7100 so I can lube it (possibly replace bearings) and I am thinking I might try changing out the cranks as well. There are a lot of places on the net to find very good tutorials on how to do it, but how do I know which specialty tools I need to get first? This is what I know from Trek's site about the cranks: Shimano M151 48/38/28 w/chainguard.
I have had it up on the stand, and while I have worked on cars and motorcycles, I'm not sure what I need to look for, or what the part (Shimano M151) actually tells me beyond the obvious. Any thoughts, or direction to the proper resources is greatly appreciated!!
