  1. Not sure where to post this so apologies if this is i the wrong board
    but for my GCSE D.T. project I am making a unicycle and I will be using
    the wheel from my own unicycle but I am having trouble taking the pedal
    cranks off of the wheel. I have unscrewed a bolt on each crank which
    seems to be holding it in place but I can still not take it off. I
    would be extremely grateful for advice.

    Quite a lot of cranks are still 127mm and 152mm, which are 5 & 6 inch
    respectively, although metric lengths are becoming more common.

    For tyre sizes do a search on the forum (if your interested) as this
    has been discussed many times over the years.
