I am going to try and make a tool like this .... brass welding rod, and tap some thread onto both ends. I do have a a nice 2,4mm SS rod, but this may be a bit touch for cutting thread into it (still will try it) I like these little sub-projects. Try the threaded part of an old spoke. The hose is (usually) 2.1 mm and a 2mm spoke thread diameter is 2.3mm. PhilipV, ChrisF, Skylark and 1 other 4

I got a kit like this (different brand though), perfect on my carbon frame but on the Rapidé steel frame, its completely useless ... 🤪 At the moment not a problem since I have no internal cables on it.

Ended up threading M3x0,5 onto a 2,4 SS rod. Threaded the old and new hoses over this. New cable went in easily. 👍 Hairy, mazambaan, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and 9 others 9 3

117 Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 Geez, thats a lot of work to make a threaded rod. Dont you okes in the cape have a nut and bolt shop where you can buy a longish thin-enough bolt and just cut the head off wiff a hacksaw? Unless you're retired or work from home - carry on then Steven Knoetze (sk27), TheoG and ChrisF 3

Unless you're retired or work from home - carry on then Good luck turning a 3mm rod into those hoses .... The 2,4mm rod is already a nice tight fit. Hey, I was ready to drag out the oxyacetelyne set .... this was actually a much quicker fix than expected .... 117 1

AkwA Posted November 26, 2022 Posted November 26, 2022 Remember to make sure your brakes are lekka😓 Took my bike apart, to do a bit of a color change, reassembled, bled brakes, pop up the road, do a few wheelies, brake suddenly has no power, almost end up on my back, kick leg out and bam, knee moertoe. Seems there was a bit of air stuck that just suddenly meant no brake power. mazambaan, Skylark, ChrisF and 1 other 1 3
ChrisF Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Just around the corner (thankfully) ... after a 40km ride. Two ring bolts gone .... during the holiday I did a "major service" of the bike, including checking all bolts ..... What have I learnt ? Uhmmm .... will ask Mark what I did to end with this ..... Damage ... . Chain got seriously mangled as it got trapped between the ring and frame .... will replace it. . Ring looks bent .... . My ego ... O-well .... rather now than during the Argus.
