We have a problem I am hoping the good knowledgeable people of CC can help with.
Lovely fiancees daughter recently bought a new bike from Halfords online. A Boardman hybrid with Shimano Acera gears, and a crankset manufactured by a company called Prowheel. Chainset is a 9 speed double 48/32 teeth, 175mm cranks, square taper type.
Bike was delivered about 2 weeks ago, and she built it herself out the box. Sadly, she may have somehow messed up fitting the right hand pedal, as it fell off after about 30 miles of use, stripping the threads on the crank. I have tried to source a spare but as yet to no avail. There are plenty of 9 speed TRIPLES but not doubles. Is it a possible option to buy a 9 speed TRIPLE chainset, then simply remove the small ring?
