    Anyone know how to remove it?
    Mine has been tapered round the sides now for a while so i was away to buy another one. Tried taking it off but it wont budge. Any suggestions?
    Cheers people :)

    Knock into reverse gear, grip your knob as tight as you can :) and pull upwards - but make sure you keep your face out of the way as some people have suffered nasty injuries by being hit by their knob in the face

    As Martin says, be careful you don't hit yourself in the face with your own knob :I

    Unfortunately not but both Bonnie and I know that this has come up before and always leads to heaps of knob jokes!!!

    I was actually going to offer show Steve how to pull his knob in Duthie Park on Saturday but decided against it
    Why?
