Im sooooo stupid.

Post by Vtr Guy »

Right , just got back from a ride out ...... l put the disc lock on with the keyhole on the inside to make it harder to drill out . Good thinking or so I thought . I was in a rush and put on the disc locked it ...... Now I can get the key in but its tight to the spoke so cant turn the key . Any ideas of how to get it off . Yes I know im a Richard head ..

I presume you can not just get a pair of plyers in there to force the key to turn ?

Can you not take the wheel off and unbolt the disc?

Even easier, unbolt the caliper, undo the disc bolts and turn the disc a bit.
Remove disclock, reassemble.

But yes, you are. :lol:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Better you did that than trying to ride off with the disc lock still fitted, which is what usually happens :wink:

Glad you got it sorted :thumbup:
