hi all i am taking off a strong light power crank never used brand new. the trouble is the right side cup will not come off is it not the same as other cranks. which direction should i turn it to remove it. Also any body want to buy it?
The direction of the right cup's thread depends on your bike. Most have British (ISO) thread wherein the right cup has a left hand thread (turn clockwise to unscrew). The odds of a right hand thread cup in French or Italian bikes go up with age, though most are now using the ISO thread.
