1:24 Cotter pin removal technique here - Nice trick hitting the vise with a hammer, while the tension was on! Thanks!

[@Oranguice]

Thanks. This helps a lot. Great job at explaining.

I use a car ball joint splitter for removing cotter pins.

Nice to see it again! I am no restoring my Peugeot record du monde from 1973 there will be a video of it Soom !

[@thijskoops6262]

Soon 😊

[@bobbykbikes]

Thank you :) Ah very nice, I used to have a Recorde du Monde as well but I had a very bad crash on it, it was wrecked :( I still have some of the parts if you need spares :) I look forward to seeing your restoration :)

That's a lovely chain ring, I saw one in an old video on the factory in Nottingham (my home town) but I have never seen one In the flesh sadly. A beautiful bike, love the colour. 🙂

[@bobbykbikes]

Thank you Reginald :) Those heron chainrings were used on a lot of old Raleighs, certainly on Twenties, RSW's, Choppers and some folding bikes as well as these bigger bikes. I will replace the whole group on this bike as the chain is horribly worn. This is one of my favourite bikes, I love the red as well, they also made a blue Trent Tourist, I think they are less common than the red.

i guess it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online ?

Use strong magnetic to collect the bearings

Thank you so much this really helped grtvmy cotter out !

[@kamilpotato3764]

I didn’t have much problem removing old pins but after installing new ones I run into the problem of arms not being 100% opposite to each other. I’ve ordered more than 10 pins and I guess will have to try again. Any tips regarding alignment? Any help appreciated. My bike is old 80’s Raleigh 3 speed similar to Chiltern.

Nice what do you want for them? And do the front mudguard still have the lamp on? Could it be posible to send the to the netherlands

[@thijskoops6262]

Haha thanks I will have a look at my parts!😄

[@bobbykbikes]

Great :) I still have the handlebars (with bar tapes and levers (and a nice mickey mouse bell lol), brake calipers, wing nuts, mudguards (though these are dented from the crash), rear lamp, derailleur, shifter :)

[@damow983]

I have a old bmx with cotter pin crank I have removed the cotter pins but the arms still won't come off any suggestions thanks

[@bobbobertson69]

🔨 It's hammer time!!

[@thijskoops6262]

Hi Bobby, what do you want for the parts from your Peugeot? Will it be possible to send them to the netherlands?

[@bobbykbikes]

Hi there, my apologies for the slow reply, I am not entirely sure what they are worth, just make me an offer really, I shall look into postage to the Netherlands :)
