• Yooooooo this worked! Thank you!!

    Also fitted a new star nut, but after doing it once more with a big Allen key and a hammer, I’m buying the tool

    Every time I have the right tool it’s like “ok this wasn’t so bad”

    So I will get this tool for next time

    I should also buy a third hand while I’m at it

    But honestly so glad I fixed that squeak

    Turns out if your bike makes a noise you have other options than simply “buying a new one”?

    Who knew

  • also buy a third hand

    Do you really need a third hand for v brakes?

    If you are ever in Birmingham (don't know why you would be tbf, but you never know) I'll happily give you a bike mechanic 1-0-1 or whatever, and we can def shred some bikes!

    Last question, can you wheelie this?

  • not at all, I’ve done them a good amount of times now, maybe enough to count
    on two hands and a foot. But it would be nice to have, I’m always dropping the Allen key when holding the cable.

    This would be good, I think my next things I’m going to have to learn is “repacking bbs and hubs”, now I’ve finally gotten over the fear of rear mechs and headsets, brakes and bottom brackets. I liked living in Birmingham tbf, controversial maybe.

    I absolutely cannot wheelie this, if anyone would like to try to wheelie this they’re welcome to
