  My bike has two little rust holes down in the top tube. I painted my frame with Hammerite to prevent futher rusting. Are there any solutions to fix these holes? Or just ride until it breaks?:p

  It is to hard to identify a frame just by lugs because many frame builders used the same kind of lugs. This are [FONT=Arial]BCM (=Bocama) lugs.[/FONT]

• What tool to remove this bb cup?

  I don't think I would be able to get much force using those.

  Put a piece of wood between the handles and you have enough force to remove the cup. Guaranteed that this works.

• really buckled wheel, like a pringle

  After a crash my front wheel got buckled too, and looked similair like the wheel on the image. I removed the spokes, and tried to bend the rim as straight as possible. Next lace it again, and true your wheel. This worked for me.

  in Mechanics & Fixin' • 11 years, 10 months

  

  I am rebuilding my fixie, now I'm looking for a 1" threaded headset wich is affordable, for about 15 - 20 pounds. Does someone of you know a nice threaded headset for this price? I prefer a new one, a secondhand would bring some shippingcost problems because it has to be shipped to the Netherlands.
