With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

A 9.5mm cotter pin is a specific type of fastener used in some older bicycles. It's used to secure the crank arms onto the bottom bracket spindle. The 9.5mm measurement refers to the diameter of the cotter pin.
If you're working with a bicycle that requires a 9.5mm cotter pin, here are a few steps you might follow to install or replace it:
Tools Needed: You'll typically need a cotter pin press tool or a hammer and punch to remove the old cotter pin and install a new one.
Remove the Old Cotter Pin: If there's an old cotter pin in place, use the appropriate tool to remove it. This usually involves driving it out from the opposite end of the spindle using a hammer and punch or using a cotter pin press tool.
Clean the Area: Once the old cotter pin is removed, clean the area around the bottom bracket spindle and the crank arm holes to ensure a proper fit.
Insert the New Cotter Pin: Insert the new 9.5mm cotter pin through the hole in the crank arm and into the hole on the bottom bracket spindle.
Secure the Cotter Pin: Depending on the specific design of the cotter pin, you might need to use a cotter pin press tool to flare the ends of the cotter pin. This secures it in place and prevents it from coming out during riding.
Test for Stability: After installing the cotter pin, check the stability of the crank arm. It shouldn't have any wobbling or play. Make sure the cotter pin is securely fastened.
Repeat for the Other Side: Most bicycles have two crank arms, so you'll need to repeat the above steps for the other side of the bike as well.
It's worth noting that cotter pins can be a bit tricky to work with, especially if you're not familiar with them. If you're unsure about the process or lack the necessary tools, it's recommended to seek the assistance of a professional bike mechanic who is experienced with older bicycle components.
