Hey folks I've just taken on a vintage lapierre bike and i'm trying to turn it into a singlespeed. Whats driving me nuts is that I cant get the crank off and i have now bent the chainring which needs replacing. I've bought crank extractors but they are all too big!!! No-one in my LBS seems to know what they are doing!?!?!?!? Any ideas!? Also does anyone know if the old style top pull caliper brakes can be replaced with the new style side pull? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm turnin into an angry young man!!!
p.s. please dont tell me to go to sheldon brown!!!
