footrests

[Ozmadman]

Hi

I need to straighten both of my footrests but before that I need to get the rubbers off. They are the thick chunky ones and they won't even budge with lubricant and washing up liquid forced down a gap stretched open with a screwdriver! can't even get them to twist they are stuck fast.. They are in very good condition so I don't want to cut them off so any ideas? or better still any ideas how to straighten the rests with the rubbers on??

Ride to your nearest building site and borrow a scaffold pole!

If it is the footrest and not the bar take the footrest off and straighten it in a vice or you could easily bend the bar insted.

Thanks all, definitely the footrests, they don' sit 90 degrees to the spline but are both bent upwards

thanks

They are designed like that! It's so you can lean it over futher when cornering and not ground the foot rests

Either that or it has been dropped so many times that it has bent them !

That's what I told him a month ago.

Ahem! At least I have a matching pair.

You must be unique.

You must be unique.

That's what you get if you pay for a good plastic surgeon.
