Hi
The travel on my jockey wheel has been rather small since purchase (due to rust in the thread I guess) and I set about trying to service it this weekend. I tried unwinding it so it came apart but in fact it has got so far then seized completely.
The old knob - clearly repaired in the past - has also now come off.
Any suggestions as to how I deal with this? I've tried spraying lubrication into the top of it (just where the winder meets the main tube) but this doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Should I just cut it off with an angle grinder and start anew? If so, where to get a similar looking jockey?
Thanks, Jonathan
