Hey guys I am new to this. I have a massive problem, when I was cycling to work this morning the pedal came off my mountin bike. Now the main issue is that the crank arm is ruined. The screw thread is worn out, and I need to get a new one.
I have seen a couple of videos of how to remove the crank arm, but i dont have a professional crank arm remover, are there other ways to remove the arm?
Where is the best place to by crank arms, relativly cheap.
It is only the left crank arm which is broken, so no need to buy a full set.
I measured the arm, it is 20 cm in total (from one side to the other), 18 cm from the center of the screw to the end of the arm, 17cm from the end of the screw to the end of the arm. I am not sure, which measurement is correct. So help would be much apprechiated.
I bought this bicycle at empirestores.co.uk for 170 £, seems that this bike is not really good.
I have attached some pictures, hope that helps.
Couldnt attach the pictures, so I just copy them in here.
