Look Ma, No Hands!
Hi folks, I recently purchased a 1951 CWC Western Flyer. I had noted a very old and unusual weld joining the right hand pedal to the crank but keen to give it a whirl I took it out for a spin. All went fine until the pedal fell off due to the weld failing. On inspection both the old pedal and the crank have completely stripped threads.
Apart from stripping and rebuiding my Schwinn, I have limited experience of Amercian-style one piece crank systems; so my question is: how universal are they?
Width of bottom bracket = 68mm
Length of crank (centre axle to centre pedal axle) = 7" / 180mm
Being in the UK Im happy to go with the easiest fix for this one and not so concerned with finding a period perfect replacement.
I guess my question is: are there any other measurements I should be looking out for?
Any help appreciated, cheers from Scotland!
