Winter trike project is a trike, it's rideable now.
I need a 23.5mm x 1.5 mm old sized crank puller. Modern 22mm pullers don't fit. Even a TA 23mm would strip the threads.
Stronglight changed about 1982, these vintage cranks are lovely but I need to change the chainrings from 52/43 to something more appropriate for a pensioner to climb the Wolds.
52t was alright in my time trial days; back in the late 60's/early 70's along the A1 in the early morning to Blyth or evenings Cowthorpe to Wetherby & back.
Any one in York area got a thirty year old crank puller I could borrow/buy?
Or know which LBS understands trikes & may kept have a vintage puller.
Car hub splitters or gear pullers are the brutal last option but I dont want to damage the frame or BB.
