Thread direction

[MichaelW2]

We all know that bolts tighten to the right, unless they tighten to the left.
Now you dont have to choose. You can tighten by rotating left or right. The choice is yours
12:48 for final result.

If the mechanics groups on Facebook that I lurk on are anything to go by, a lot of people could do with pedals and BBS threaded this way!

How do you undo it?

How do you undo it?

In v1.0 The opposite way you used to tighten. Nuts are either L or R threaded.

V2.0 has a multi thread nut so it can go on either way and reverses off

The way I understand it, the bolt will work with either left or right handed threads but you still turn it clockwise for right handed an counterclockwise for left handed, so no change there.

ETA, the second video now works both ways. However, that means that if you were to use it in a bb drive side, it would potentially undo itself unless you can tighten it silly hard like old Italian threaded bbs.

If you watch around 10-11mins in, he slides the silver pin through the gold nut and twists it half a turn, it’s a bit useless then a nut and bolt as it doesn’t tighten and comes loose with a tiny wriggle.

That would be a flaw for me as I'd never remember which way I tightened it.
