Try some ethanol. Spot test it first though.What does dissolve dried latex sealant? Probably nasty shit that eats alloy rims I guess.

Got that too - it’s just acetone also with some perfume. I’ll have another crack on the weekend when I have more time to scrub etc, maybe try a stiff brush. My main concern is a) getting the rim bed clean enough to put down some proper tape and seal it up properly and b) how much the sealant in the rim has or has not fucked the spoke nipples from the inside.Yeah, isopropyl doesn’t work much either.
This product claims to work on dried latex paint:

Update - acetone in a spray bottle, sprayed a bunch on and wrapped a couple of laters of glad wrap over to give it time to penetrate. Managed to get the rest of the shitty tape off and clean up the rim bed enough to put fresh tape on and seal up some new tyres. Success.Confessing on behalf of the dude I just bought a cheap(ish) XTC off..
Bravo.I’d dropped Quinn’s ebike into LBS for a new dropper cable. It’s got a convoluted route around the motor. Motor had to be lowered to fit the cable, and I didn’t want any part of that.
All sorted, drove to You Yangs to meet up with @beeb and @fjohn860 for an evening blast.
Unload the bike, Quinn reports the crank spinning without driving the chain, and it’s making a nasty scraping noise.
Dang, shop must have cussed something up when changing cable. Crank looked like it had a little play, loosened off bolts, added some preload, tightened cranks, nope, still spinning with the scraping noise.
Shamefully roll it over in case beeb or John know anything about ebikes, assuming my night is ruined.
Beeb looks at it, and fits the chain back onto the chainring, which had slipped off and was sitting between the chainring and the bash guard.
This is why I can’t have nice things.
Is that you Hambo ?Beeb looks at it, and fits the chain back onto the chainring, which had slipped off and was sitting between the chainring and the bash guard.
Understandably. I hate having to that even being paid to do it. No way in hell would I route any cable in an e-bike voluntarily; absolute shits of things!I’d dropped Quinn’s ebike into LBS for a new dropper cable. It’s got a convoluted route around the motor.

Duncan, please.Is that you Hambo ?
I hope the rotor bolts were secured?Duncan, please.
Have come real close a few times with masks but have realised just in time.So... Not bike related, but still a f-wit.
I have a(n admittedly gross) habit of spitting into the toilet/urinal at times. Not like it's every time, but sometimes if I have a bit of excess saliva, or a loogey, it'll get spat out. I figure it's in private, no-one else knows (except for now of course), etc.
So today... ... let's just say I found another reason to hate wearing a mask. And I'll rethink the need to spit.

Something tells me that would've been a quick taxi-run.Out for a ride with a huge crew, doing a self shuttle of Lake Mountain.
Four cars fully loaded to drive to the top, my car staying down the bottom as one of the return taxies.
Get to top and unload bikes, grab my camelback from the back of my mates car. Where's my helmet? Fuck!
