Approximately 4 hours work went into removing this

Approximately 4 hours work went into removing this seized seatpost. It had been sawn off at seat collar level leaving nothing to work with. This is worst case scenario as I can't use the specific puller to remove it. It took a long battle with a hacksaw blade and a lot of curse words.

I awake with cold sweats over this sort of home mechanic bodgery! If your seat post is stuck, take it straight to a grown up to remove the correct way before you dig yourself into an ever deeper chasm of despair. FFS!

Throwback Thursday to where it all began! Leisure Lakes cross country winter series '95/'96. I came dead last in my first two races but wasn't deterred! Back to simpler times when forks and bottom brackets were threaded.

How do you machine something so badly??? 0.35mm ru

How do you machine something so badly??? 0.35mm run out on a pulley sitting at 2500rpm, peaking at 4000rpm. It's going to cause excessive vibration, heat and noise. Let's get this sorted.

An NOS wheel build that's brought many memories flooding back. These retro hoops are going to find a home on a restored 1994 Orange P7. The hubs are stamped with the Shimano date code VK which dates them to November 1996.
