If it was a regular cutting disc you used to [s]chop **** outta[/s] carefully modify your frame I'd chuck it in the bin now. They aren't suppose to be used on aluminium, it may clog and explode!

Fair play having the balls to get choppy choppy.

Holy crap!

Thank goodness I didn't get the wheel wet, as I subsequently used it to cut a couple of steel bolts. I should really know this. Thermite isn't to be messed with!

Binning that wheel and maybe I'll invest in some alloy specific wheels.

I'd bet a few people suffer badly from this, as it's not something I'd considered.

Well, couple of months have passed. It's still in one piece and it took a rather large drop to flat on Sunday. Rides so much better with the seat lower. I've also dropped out the 140 yari and put a 160 pike in (running a bit more sag than normal as ideally I'd prefer it to be a 150).
