Meezo Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Our vacuum cleaners alu pipe worked well for me Speaking of vacuum cleaner. For those whose dealt with internal routing. I've had to fish on a Chinese frame and on a Very big known brand won't mention obviously . best solution, cotton wool and vacuum cleaner.... Pretty self explanatory. Once wool through just fastened it to the inner cable(brake or gear) and pull gently through again! Edited June 26, 2013 by Meezo Mongoose!, rouxtjie, Amberdrake and 1 other 4

Only hassle is the oil dries up the plasticity of the rubber plunger. I have a few syringes I got from my vet that is made by ONCE that has a "O"-ring as a plunger that has now been working for at least ten years. I purchased a stack of cheapie grease guns that screws onto the "toothpaste" grease tubes. They work very well.

Mackie Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Often the one tool works great with another tool, perfect example in removing a BB.
