Thankyou for making these, really interesting. Rare for people to work on things now yet in the past armed with red hermitite we d strip everything down, in the 50's my dad had a push bike with a petrol motor you could buy and fit, he ended up doing a minor rebuild on London Bridge when it broke down surrounded by American tourists gawping at our technology though i think dad might have embellished the story a little.
That’s part of the reason I’m doing it, is it economical to rebuild old (8 years) abused Chinese bikes? Lots of stuff broken and bent but parts are cheap. The problem is I do to good a job and fix everything and improve. Someone is going to get a good bike.
No way im getting that rod out, it will need a big press, the forces involved way higher than i can make with my vice. Also the rod isnt available separately so its pointless anyway. A new crank is only around 50 quid.
Yep, Ideally i'd really like a 35 Wat H4 with a traditional metal reflector and glass lens. Call me old fashioned but this would give a good beam pattern and be reliable.

Where there's a will there's a way. Improvising to get that crank pin out.
