Putting frontbrake on Cinelli Mash

Posted on
  • So Ive finally decided to put a brake on my cinelli mash. Theres this cap in the hole thats been painted over and I cant get it out. Ive tried to pop it out with an allen key - didnt work.
    Anyone who has removed the cap before? I wanna make sure theres a better way than drilling.

  • Jesus christ, is giving a proper answer that might be helpful that difficult?

  • Yes.

    Next.

  • Now go ahead and tell me, what exactly is wrong with my question that makes it not deserve your precious answers/time? I just dont wanna mess up the fork or the paint because I dont know what kinda plug they put in there. If you dont have any advice better dont post anything in the first place.

  • It's already got our precious time. You could have thrown some words into google and come up with:

    Now go and put a brake on your bike before you get any angrier with this forum. BIkeradar >>>>

  • Ive seen that link before. They say you can simply punch it out from the inside, which Ive tried. Unfortunately the plug didnt move at all.

  • well punching it isnt going to do any good is it?

  • What did you try punching it out with? Your hand on the end of the allenkey?

  • A hammer and an allenkey. I thought about cutting the paint around the plug with a sharp knife, dont know if thats useful.

  • No, you have to drill it out. Be careful, i'm hesitant to do mine in fear of ruining the carbon.

  • Fuckin'ell, this is one of about 83 shit threads in 24hrs, I feel a flounce coming on!

  • i feel a spokecard coming on.
    it's what this forum does best

    this is one of about 12 shit answers in 2 hrs, congrats.

    Maybe i shoudnt have mentioned its a Mash, it doesnt seem to be the most appreciated frame in this forum.
    And yes, I used a hammer, carefully of course.

    I still dont get whats your problem with a new member asking a technical related question. Neither have I asked a question that has been asked a zillion times before, nor have I been impolite. My English might not be the best since Im not from the UK, but Im trying to make myself clear. If this forum is all about posting funny pictures or making useless, even though funny comments in order to point out how stupid the question is then it is missing the point of a forum in the first place.
    Feel free to make sarcastic, funny, useless comments on that, because apparently THAT is what this forum does best.

  • as i said, hippy operating within the true spirit of the forum!
