On Training Wheels
Hi Folks,
First time posting here and could use some advice. I’m in the process of restoring my childhood bike – a ’61 Panther III, and am having trouble with the kickstand. The stand tends to droop about an inch when in the up position which causes the crank to tap it when riding – really annoying. I suspect it probably needs a new spring or cam pin but I can’t get the retaining pin out after depressing the spring collar. The pin is loosened enough to spin with my fingers after depressing the spring a bit deeper than the edge of the housing tube, but the pin is catching on something and cannot be pulled out. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Many thanks in advance.
