2016 Projects - Ritchey Breakaway, CaadX & Giant Defy Advanced

A steady hand, and a small drill bit attached to an electric drill should do the trick.

Hot, sharp knife point.

Ok so drill bit did not do it, knife is also not working. ho hum... what to do...

Maaaate :-(

Thanks - do you know if it is more effective than acetone which I've been trying to use at the moment?

Only other thing I can think of is going at the bolt from the other side, try and make a slot in the end and unwind with a flat bladed screwdriver.

Try the zap de-bonder, we use it at work, it doesn't dissolve it but it will soften it

Thanks. ordered. Hopefully this works.

Otherwise @jontea may have to be the one...

Yep ^^^

Yesssssssssss!!!!!!

Had to just brute force it, couldn't get the acetone or debonder round the sides as the bearing was in so tight. It has taken days of drilling to get that out, but the sense of achievement is unlike nothing else.

I want to wear this bolt around my neck and a symbol that no obstacle is too difficult, no struggle to hard, that cannot be overcome with relentless use of a cheap drill.

This has been added to the collection - absolute beauty to ride.

First trip away booked aswell, off to Nice for 5 days at the end of June, can't wait to hit up the Alpes Maritime and see how I do going up La Madone..

totally rad. if no one has yet, can I express my interest in that should you ever want to get rid?

Sure thing :) but on current impressions I'm more likely to sell the Giant than this!

ah well, keep me in mind anyhow. it's totally rad

I live in Cannes next to nice. We could be made an exit together!

could be made an exit together! Do you mean go for a ride?

Does anyone want to swap a pair of new conti gp400o 28mm for 4 seaons 28mm or gp4000 25mm, the 28mm won't fit the ritchey :(

Aha Yes of course!
Sorry my bad English..

So I managed to get a bargain set of stans alpha 400 wheels from superstar - which means the open pro/ ambrosio set are for sale if anyone's keen.

The bike is about 8.3kg which for a folding steel framed bike with older 105 on it, isn't bad!

Sorry to revive an old thread but what's the brake setup on this? It ain't canti like a normal caadx

They look like Tektro mini Vs.
