    Just looking at the box full of nice bits in the shed to build my new TI frame up which is being delivered tomorrow.

    Yeah, Inspected and been riding it for months.

    I’m confused, your old ti frame is broken but you’ve got a new one coming tomorrow?

    Back to the Future indeed.

    Lol I used to get an “airlock” in upstairs bathroom cold tap.
    Used to open tap and proceed to give it a blow into tap and it would run again.

    I`m with coatesy on this.
    I assume it has rear suspension ? if so then the cable outer is too short where it comes from frame to arm.

    Chains usually snap due to way too much pressure being applied.
    ie. wrong gear wrong speed scenario.

    I usually acknowledge other riders when possible and a polite return is nice and vice versa but I really hate it when I get blanked or stared at as much as someone who had just raped their dog or something.
    **** off you miserable bastrds.

    Went to G/T on Saturday to remind myself why I don`t go there anymore.
    Mate snapped the chain ,on the bike I lent him, at top of spooky wood.
    I swear that is the most well equpped place in the universe to breakdown and a power link was produced faster than a blink of an eye and we were on our way again.Thanks btw to said dude with the spare.
    Still I wont go back again for a long while.

    Copied from other forum but may be of use to someone in your position.

    “Machinist’s Workshop magazine actually tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They are below, as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist, Bud Baker.

    *Don’t forget the April 2007 “Machinist’s Workshop” magazine comparison
    test.*
    **
    *They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with
    the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a
    “scientifically rusted” environment.*
    **

    *Penetrating oil ….. Average load*

    None ………………… 516 pounds
    WD-40 ……………… 238 pounds
    PB Blaster …………. 214 pounds
    Liquid Wrench ….. 127 pounds
    Kano Kroil ………… 106 pounds
    ATF-Acetone mix….53 pounds

    *The ATF-Acetone mix was a “home brew” mix of 50% acetone – 50% automatic transmission fluid.*
    *Note the “home brew” was better than any commercial product in this one
    particular test. Our local machinist group mixed up a batch and we all now
    use it with equally good results. Note also that “Liquid Wrench” is about
    as good as “Kroil” for about 20% of the price. * “

    So maybe some of that but failing the above get seatpost in a bench vice and use frame as leverage.

    Would give Glentrool a miss tbh.
    Long and not very exciting in any way at all.
    Kirroughtree is by far one of the best of the trail centres on both black and red.
