"- Cranks, pedals, bottom bracket cups always loosen towards the back of the bike. "
I like this. Right hand pedal has a right hand thread, so if you attach a pedal wrench to the right hand pedal and think of that wrench handle as a crank arm, you BACKPEDAL to loosen. You also backpedal with your pedal wrench on the left pedal to loosen it. On the BB though, I'm having a hard time visualizing how you think of it as loosening towards the back. The fixed cup has a left hand thread, so you put a tool on the fixed cup and pedal forward to loosen, and pedal backward to tighten. The left side cup has a right hand thread so you also pedal forward with your wrench to loosen and backpedal with your wrench to tighten. Crank bolts both have a right hand thread, so you backpedal to loosen the right side crank bolt and forward pedal to loosen the left crank bolt. So, six threaded things, I only see three of the six as loosening towards the back of the bike. Help me visualize it your way.
