I tried it once but may try it again as its still getting really good reviews and usually places 2nd to Stans race. Awesome price at Bike24 as above.
We usually just use regular Stans but I fucked up about 6 months ago as someone had 1L Joes Sealant on sale... so I grabbed 6 x 1L bottles for about 10 euros each ($16 per litre)
Had to go the Browse'n'Save and buy bottles of glitter to throw in it, it doesn't even seal a normal sized hole without the glitter. So bad I have a bottle of Stans on the way from HiBike now.
We go through quite a bit as you would too, so we are down to only about 2 bottles left.

Not sure what I read but I am wrong.
effetto-mariposa is also +/-4%.
However, on the balance of cost $259 (bikebug- effetto-mariposa) v. $309 (pushys- wera) would fall on brand preference

Thats a serious wrench !
My torque wrench is a x-tool brand, there are about another 10 brands where its the exact same cheap wrench, gets used for 4-5nm on stems and stuff, crush washer bolts on forks at 6nm and thats about it. Even it it was +/-10% it really wouldn't matter.

Indeed we go through a loooot. I now wait for a sale and buy a couple of litres of both stans regular and race. Regular for the fronts mostly, as neither of us ever puncture front (I did one at youies, once ever), and Race for the rear.
Life is too short for sealant you don’t trust.

So next question, any idea how I can open up the silver part that sits inside this bottom bracket? It's very gritty when I rotate it.
Should I hit it with something?
It's an SR Suntour like the crankset btw.

I’d suggest you can’t. Just replace the BB.So next question, any idea how I can open up the silver part that sits inside this bottom bracket? It's very gritty when I rotate it.

Thinking the same actually. Shimano MT 800 sounds decent!
I’ve had the same for about 5 years. Its probably all I need, the bits it came with are now cactus. I have actually spent more on new 1/4 hex and torx sockets than I did on new torque wrench

You always go for the A line of knots.
I’m sure they are all good in that price range and like you say brand preference. My lifeline has done me right for 5 years. Was time to get something a little better and this one should see me out

They are decent BB's.
They come with a plastic ring for installation, this fits inside a regular BB tool.
Bike Bug was the cheapest back in Jan.

This is my pick for a high end torque wrench doesn't come with bits though. +/- 2% accuracy and an Australian company too.

Give the bottom bracket bearings a good blast of degreaser or wd-40 while you have it apart. You'll feel a huge improvement while pedalling.

Great advice! I'll throw in some sand too while I'm at it.

Do that and it will last about 2.5 minutes. So just get a new one.

Probably last about that long if he pops the casing off.

I assumed he was giving his usual counter assistance. I hope so at least.

Clean with brake fluid and then add red loctite, works way betterer than degreaser.
