Ok, go to the main menu,
- then click settings
-then scroll down until you see "Enable BBCode" and change it to OFF

This should speed it up and process the URL's

That's fixed it! Thanks

This is turning into a week long mission as usual! The BB sockets are all 1/2 inch, obviously my wrench is 3/8. Managed to buy an adapter and started work. Got the cranks off, and am now confronted with this.

What the fook is it and how do I get it out/off so I can get the socket on the BB??

Cant see why u cant just unscrew the bb cups from where you are there mate?

I went for the socket instead of the spanner. It's not deep enough to reach the bb.

Ah I think you might be stuffed as it will be the same on the otherside once you have the crank off - i thought all the tools looked like this

hmm have one if you need to borrow it.

That'll teach me to go with Evil's suggestion! Yep, it's the same the other side. I don't know what it is, how it comes out, or what I'd buy if I wanted to replace it. I've tried hitting it with a hammer (Bradley-style) but it didn't budge. Bugger..

What tool did you buy? and what are you trying to hit?

Bought this:

Just hitting the thing in the way - thought it might slide out but looks like its part of the bb. Only the Truvativ Howitzer ones seem to be like this. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=40487

Ahhhhhh

yea i have the same on my gambler - in hitting the axle all you are whacking it into the bb cups on the other side. The axle has a ridge which sits inboard of the cups which is why it wont pop out like a hollowtech one does.

you deffo need spanner like I linked to above

Sorted now (borrowed Bradleys) but deffo need to buy one of those spanners. Wish component manufacturers could all work to the same standards.
