Little Things You Hate

It doesn’t jump from 11 to 15, there is a 13 in the middle, and that isn’t worn, neither is the 18 or any others

Just get a bigger chain ring and stop using the 11 and 15

If true…Something tells me it’s not the first chain that cassette has seen then…or your checker is shite.

it's probably the 2nd or 3rd chain the cassette has been run on

Maybe I should buy a Shimano linkguide?

they are not noticeably shark finned but I might have to give it a go.

Might work then. Grind the sharp edge off the left hand side of each tooth of the bottom 4 cogs.
You might keep it alive for another chain.

Occasionally we overlook a bike chain change at or before 0.75mm. Last one was actually my gravel/adventure bike at way over 1mm. Trashed the cassette and I had to Dremel the chainring to keep it working.
Bloody W/N direct mount Middleburn are hard come by.

I'll try that after I check if the pin is an alan key bolt and if I can take the cogs apart and splice another 9-speed cassette's 11 and 15 tooth cogs in

You’re too young to be that fat.

exactly, that's why the extra weight doesn't matter when I'm only after something that's hard-wearing

You’ll still fuck an 800g cassette with a worn chain.

My last Sunrace cassette split the connecting link and I had 11 individual cogs. If you can't do it you're not trying hard enough.

Solvol has been discontinued!...if you want one now, you're up north of $50 for 1 bar!
if you have them in your laundry/work dongas/bathrooms, hide them or sell them for a tidy profit
still available in a pump pack, but it's not the same.........this world has gone to shit, we need a new one

Faaaakkkk... the old store room in work has at least 2 or 3 full industrial packs of bars stacked on the shelf, probably 50-100 bars per pack (dont know as I've never paid much attention) and a further 1 pack that has been opened as I grabbed ~5-6 bars not so long ago.

I'm not back till next Friday

Honestly I prefer the bottled stuff.

The bar goes alright in a pinch I suppose.

The bars are good as you can use them as a pumice stone to grind those stubborn marks off.

$150 a bar !!!!

That's hilarious that people pay that type of money, just use normal soap and coarse steel wool.

Have you ever tried to throw a pump pack accurately at somebody, it is quite the challenge

Yes, but don’t forget, people tried to sell that caramel chocolate for $1000 a bar for a few weeks when it was on the news as ‘limited edition’.
It probably sold to morons for that, but that’s not my point.

Never used the bar or the liquid. Have always bought 5L pump packs of Fast Orange. Any idea how they compare?
