    Do you mean ‘pedal spanner’?

    Do you mean ‘pedal spanner’? Either way, I thought if you can use a spanner, a normal one would fit – used that in the past (plus a long metal tube I borrowed from the local builders merchant to slot over the spanner then stand on the tube to get my wife’s pedal off !)

    They should be greased. Are
    They should be greased then. Are you definitely turning correct direction ?
    If you have a socket set, does it have any extra attachments? If not, you could buy some allen key (and others) for the socket set separately. This should give you enough leverage.
    Or if you have any mole grips, that might allow more leverage with the current key.

    Unless you accept that

    Unless you accept that closing a large open space to certain individuals is in no way equivalent to closing a shop to certain individuals, then I don’t see a way forward here.

    You can write to them but since it is private land they don’t have to do anything and I suspect they will say they are taking action to protect their staff and volunteers and direct you to the highways authority.

    Very easy to control access
    Very easy to control access to a shop as there is just one entrance to use, so you could prevent banned people from entering. Pretty hard to do anything in a wide open large space in the current climate.

    Is it a permissive path ?

    Never heard of those before !

    I wonder how they feel when riding and whether you can detect the join each revolution.

    I don’t see they why the staff should put up with abuse and the options for dealing with this are now limited.

    Get puncture resistant tyres
    Get puncture resistant tyres or even tubeless.
    Get a lift or taxi if you get a puncture.

    Although if the bike is laid down on its side, it should be easy to remove the wheel.

    You can get a computerised

    You can get a computerised fit in a few shops. You sit on some seat – it takes readings, then you input some basic stats of height, weight etc and it comes up with a few saddles.

    A little expensive, but the advantage is that it was about a 60 day warranty if it didn’t work out so you can swap to another.

    I’ve heard that if you don’t

    I’ve heard that if you don’t pay much attention to your cleats on your MTB shoes and they wear too much and you can’t undo them, a dremel tool is great to score a slot and use a flathead scredriver to remove them.

    Obviously I have no personal experience of such a predicament.cheeky
