Thanks for the good vibes, everyone! This is really a fun project and I am happy it is coming together so well.
Another thing I am working on is restoring some pedals. I got a pair of the Cube All Mountain Pedals (mentioned here ) for twenty quid of eBay. They are a bit run down so I took them apart, cleaned the bearings and ordered new pins.
One of them was completely stuck, rounded inside and out. I tried pipe pliers and in the end even cutting it from the top to use a screwdriver but without success. Everything was slipping off. just couldn't get a good grip.
Luckily I had to go into work yesterday and our new neighbours are a coworking / make space with a proper workshop. We tried drilling the pin out but in the end, managed to make my cut bigger and use a more massive screwdriver to get the damn thing out.
Now all that is left is polishing and putting everything back together. Hopefully, I'll find some time for this at the weekend.
