Did another pass of fillet on the seattube/bb joint this morning and tried to thin out the fillet if started to lay on the yoke.
I was gonna do quite a fat fillet on it but a guy on IG suggested it’d look better with less fillet and when I looked at the Konga feed they were all done with quite small fillets. It’s still not the neatest, I’ll just hide this behind the chainset and hopefully do a tidier job on the other side.
Using Cycle Design Low Fuming Bronze flux now and it’s a pleasure to use and cleans off so easily. If I’d gotten Sifflux or boric acid as toasted as I got this it’d be an absolute ball ache. Sifflux in particular would still be stuck in glass sharp little nuggets even after overnight soaking, the LFB stuff was totally gone after about a 2 hour soak.
