Hello

[Rickshaw Phil]

Thanks Phil. Have you ever pulled cotter pins from a Raleigh?

Not on a Raleigh as they'd gone cotterless before I bought mine but had lots of practice on my old Dawes: the way I did it was to undo the nut until it is flush with the end of the cotter pin (so it's protecting the threads) and tap the pin out with a hammer. (It may require an energetic tap ) Once loose it should come out fairly easy.

Thanks Phil, I will consider trying that.

Wow! You really are a Raleigh nut. I hope you are doing well with your femur. Must be a long recovery?

I would like to try a trike sometime just to see what it is like. There might be a day where I have to use one myself.
