My spelling/keyboarding skills are not very good, but I can only blame my mental capacity for misspelling the name! Geese!

Shifters freed up nicely with just a hint of WD. Glad I didn't take them apart when fix was so quick and easy.

Serial number is hidden under the plastic cable router at the underside of the bb. Begins with a 4 but I can't read the rest and the screw that holds the router in place is determined that it will not be removed. I'll need to attack it from the inside with penetrant.


Speaking of which I'm not familiar with this type of bb. I assume the drive side is reverse thread and after removing the hex head bolt I can use my "regular" park bb tool to remove the cranks. Yes? No? Maybe?

There is another number on a tape in the same location that I think is a stock number. For what it's worth, it is F3115517.

Finally the chain is Hyperglide. Can I break this and reassemble using my chain tool, or are special precautions required?

Again, thanks in advance for any info.
