  • I’d be terrified of taking a hammer drill to any of my bikes. Chapeau!!

  • I've had a run of working on bikes with BBs that have been completely seized and destined for the bin if they don't come out. Days of Plusgas soaking, blowtorch, etc. did nothing. Long breaker bars are hard to get torque applied in the correct plane, or unable to secure the tool firmly, so splines or get chewed. Using a vice and then using the frame as leverage requires loads of space and time, and same problems apply. So I thought, why not try it? I'm doing multiple bikes for a construction company, all in the same condition, they said they'd just scrap them if they can't be fixed so consequences of actions were minimal if it didn't work.

    I would obviously be less inclined to do this on a £12k S-Works...
