Hey folks,
I've happily received my new power meter from Power2max to pair up with a set of Rotor 3dF cranks, and decided to take it all down to the LBS since I didn't have a vice that would be strong enough to brace against the lockring tool that p2max sent.
Now, the LBS has run into problems with being unable to remove the lockring with any reasonable amount of force, and contacted Rotor on my behalf. Rotor's response was essentially 'we designed this to not be removed outside of the factory, if you do remove it with the p2max locking tool, you'll void your warranty etc.' Has anyone successfully removed a 110bcd spider from 3DF cranks that were shipped in the last few months, and if so, can you offer any advice / discuss whether or not it may have caused any damage to the lockring?
I'd really like to keep buying from both companies, and while I understand that Rotor wants to focus on promoting their own Power meter, their deliver timeframes simply won't work for me (or i'd have gone that route in the first place).
Help!
