Sorry I fecked off, for the short run I had I enjoyed it, but didn't feel right after a cold last weekend and a chesty cough most of week.

Can't face cleaning my bike at the moment, for tomorrow, might just plant some rice on it instead.

Re:

I might be up for that if I can get rid of BB creak.
Cannae get the old Hope titanium BB out to change it as I Loctited it in, in a previous attempt to get rid of creak. :facepalm:

What time are you thinking of? Should be a good bit drier by end of week, too.

My BB is loctited into my Ti frame to solve an unscrewing issue.
Frame on its arse, foot on the top tube and the the BB remover BOLTED on to a large ratchet handle 18".

The BB that came on the 2001 Zaskar(UN-72) had been put in dry and im guessing 2014 was the first time anyone attempted to remove it :? Tight indeed I got W. Bain to remove it though it was very tight. Creaked its way out but out it came none the less :?
Bolted on tight it cannot slip out and thus damaging the splines on the BB cup. Then its just a matter of being strong enough and something WILL give. BB or Frame but with a fubar BB in there the frame is fubar also so theres nothing to lose :?

Re:

It's in my Super V so there's no way I want to damage that. :roll:

Unfortunately I don't have the proper Hope BB tool, just used the Park pin tool previously to tighten it and another in the Coyote frame. Had no problem till about this time last year and after removing cranks several times to tighten it I eventually Loctited it last July. Started creaking again a couple of months ago. :cry:

Do I take that as it is or do I look for the double meaning?

So I'll assume ye've got a Hope BB tool and thank you in anticipation of it's use.
