to remove cog?
 

i dont have a whip and i dont want to use the rotofix method on my good frame, how the hell am i gonna get this off my hub??

you're not. take it to a shop or find a friend w/ a whip.

Get a whip?

Your **** out of luck then.
Just rotofix it and just wrap a bandana around the BB shell to prevent scratching.

listen to hyperRevue. wrap that bb shell and get that cog off scratch free.

do you have wood blocks and a vice?

fresh outta wood + vice, I live in an apartment, no room for vice much less furniture. o, by the way i bought my soma frame from bike station, he gave me a great price too.

There is definitely enough room in your apartment to wrap a bandana, towel, old t-shirt, etc. around your bb and rotofix that cog off.

Seriously.
Just this morning I swapped out cogs from two different wheelsets in minutes and without any damage.

but dang, my frame is virgin i dont to hurt her.

You wont man...just be gentle with her and use a lot of protection.

Out of curiosity, about what kind of frame are we talking?

Then put her on the wall and never ride her.


+1 for the rotafix

ok i will try it,sooner than later i will crash her anyway .

Lube the virgin up. o.O

whip it good

maybe i have to skid to get it off**********??

just buy a chain whip they aint that expensive

maybe you should go to your lbs and get a whip, i mean you're putting alot of time into this when you could have gotten a whip from your lbs already :s

i took the lock ring off,then rode it to try to hop it off but no dice! it aint gonna budge-chain whip+3ft pipe prolly work, i hope.P.S. i rather just buy the whip than go to a lbs.

I let hyperRevue do it to my virgin frame and it didn't hurt (it) a bit. Don't be afraid to use a little muscle. Or buy a chain whip, OR take it to a shop.

rawrrrrr.

Thats what I said! He's got the soft hands with the magic touch.

Sorry Evan.

ok i just found my chainwhip, but it only fits a 3/32" narrow chains, can i retrofit it whit a peice of 1/8" track chain??? P. S. its a park SR-1 tool

ro - to - facking -fix already!!!!

you don't have to buy anything, you won't scratch your frame, and you'll learn something new.
you'll improve yourself!

To paraphrase from a friend's tutorial on how to change your guitar's strings:

1. Take your key ring out of your pocket or purse.
2. Rest your guitar on your lap, face up.
3. Drop keys from a distance of at least 18" onto face of guitar.
4. Now that you no longer have to worry about the finish on your new guitar, begin by removing the string fastening peg.

i sense your getting a lil ticked by me LOL ;)

Just Use The ****ing Rotofix! ;)

+ eleventy bajillion.

You will not hurt your frame. You will not hurt yourself. The only thing hurt will be your pride once you realize how stupid you were for not doing it earlier.

i've converted a couple of 3/32 whips to 1/8. i usually can't get my chain tool into all the nooks of the whip, so i end up pushing a pin all the way out, then tapping it in with a hammer or something.
