    Crank Polishing

    Is it still a thing? I have far too many hanging up in the shed, so it got me thinking about ways to tart them up and bring back into service. Sadly it doesn't help, that it's often cheaper to buy a whole new chainset for the chainrings alone.:( I know they will fade back to dull in time,but hey.

    Losing my shit!

    Take a step back for a minute or two. Can you soak it overnight and get hold of a better socket? Don't rush in with too much brute force (that's not working) and make it worse* *been there,done that 🙃

    Cable query

    Jagwire (I would say) are a better cable,with a good choice of colours now. Also,as bikeworkshop says,the Nokon/Alligator links don't play nice with mud/grit ,and being aluminium ,over time they oxidize/crumble quicker on off-road builds.

    Cable query

    Been a big fan of Nokon and Alligator cable sets for a while. They do tight turns very well, especially with some rear mechs. Oh, and they are very 'Bling' ;) 🙃

    Tell me about these twisted spokes?

    I have a set of (26") wheels in the attic that were built up by Sonic Cycles back in 97. They have wiggly/zig-zag spokes and are a proper PITA to true up. But hey, they look cool when spinning ;) 🤣

    Anti-theft parts bin sh*tter.

    Just popped in to see how the build was going, adding the Power Grips is genius . To figure out how to make a quick getaway, the thief would have to be well over 50 ;) 🤣 🤣
