The QUICK question thread.....

[Mr Crudley]

I had a Karen moment 15 years ago after buying a 3 pack that contained 1/2 specked shit ones. I contacted them, and was brushed off. I started a FB support group, and have barely eaten one since

I'm quietly impressed. I knew you were a man of action. I'm going to find someone to complain to also.
We can't have Fruit Tingles looking like denture cleaning tablets.

Man the pitchforks and get my torch.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Still more than I got..
The saga continues....

You must give them links to the Fruit Tingle FB support group.

Did you grumble to Wonka on FB? I'll give it go too. Claim emotional stress and ask for compensation.
One of those Ambulance chasing lawysers will take on the case and before you know it you have retired on a island in the sun.

That was my convo with the Wonka lady in 2009. She was a honey badger. I felt very unheard

I welcome your interest...but there’s no pending members...nor does the group require it. It is a discerning group though, with only 4 members world wide.

Something must have went splat.

I think I've put my super loud creak down to my BB. It's a Shimano Sm-bb80. Do I just buy a straight replacement, can they be rebuilt or should is there a better option? I'm looking for longevity over outright performance.

dont think any shimano bb;s are rebuildable, all disosable—chris king are too much, grab another shimano

I’m trying to strip this RF Aaffect stem and polish to raw alloy. Paint stripper had zero affect. Is it possibly anodised?

Seems thicker and more slightly textured than what I thought anodised looks like.

 

[leitch]

Definitely anodised. Get the drain cleaner on it @Jpez

Thanks mate. I might have to don a gas mask and brave the supermarket to get some.
Or I’ve got plenty of dot4 fluid. That should do the trick

Just get another Shimano bb. They are rebuidable but require special tools. The OEM for Shimano tend to be top tier Japanese bearing producers like NSK, NTN so its hard to do better.

I think they actually tired you.

Yeah, had it sitting in drain cleaner for about 3 hours. Didn’t even fade with a scrub with a brush or steel wool.

Wet and dry sand paper and then polish it.
