bearing problem in BB or pedals? and "IBDB"
When you pedal and notice there is a bearing problem
is there a way to determine if it is in the BB or in one of the pedals? When I rotate the crank and spin pedals by hand I don't feel anything but when I ride the bike there is a sensation of a pebble popping just under my feet. This bike is really old, a Monark from the 60s perhaps. The front wheel has huge flanges and instead of dome nuts are huge open wing nuts. The pulley is ~1.5 as big as the familiar Torpedo one. Also the fork, kickstand, and reflectors all look very old. So I wonder, you know of the Internet Movie Database, or IMDB, is there a similar way to look up old bikes? (And new ones for that matter.) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

This bike is really old, a Monark from the 60s If its really old - I'd replace the pedals *AND* service the BB. If its *REALLY* old - you might be able to service the pedal bearings too. |
