Buzzwangle

Not sure if i'm missing somthing here but i thought one of the advantages of the Buzzwangle is to not have to dismanle anything to use it. For the life of me i cant get it to fit the gp flywheel with a nut fitted. Ive tried four nuts from four different suppliers including a BGM one, and none will allow the mounting peice to screw into the flywheel. It fits Li Flywheels fine.
anyone else have the same problem ?

Have you unscrewed the allen bolt far enough? you need to screw it right out, screw the buzzwangle in then screw the alen bolt in to lock it solid once you have it fixed at TDC. It took me a bit to figure out too ;)

On the subject of buzz wangles i bought one of ebay looks the same only problem i have is that it only works in 90 degreee segments so the digits turn to 90 then countsdown to zero then back upto 90 and so on....... i was looking for a 360 setting to save me having to count/subtract as i,m turning the flywheel.......anybody else in this muddle?? :roll:

This happened to my when I first used it. Before realising I didn’t unscrew the Allen bolt.

Thanks for the replies, Yep tried fitting it without the bolt in at all . If you try and fit a gp flywheel nut into the the holder it doesnt fit at all. on the advice of someone on here i set about it last night with a dremmel, just took the bare minimum out and it fits a dream now
Thanks all and especially Trotski.
