Nothing flashy but will be nice on a build for just $40. However they’re a bit gummed up , I guess because they’re old and the lubricant has solidified.

Is wd40 flush the best way to wake them up again?

Thanks

The left side is not smooth and actuates in a very cumbersome way in comparison to all other threee arms

I sprayed it down with degreaser , warm water flush, then oiled the pivots but it still isn’t moving smoothly

I get that it’s an old item, problem 30+ years old. But is there a way to bring this back to life ? Will it “work in” over time on the bike ?

Thanks

I assume on a stem? And I guess I have no chance of finding something to clamp it on …. Unfortunately I just got this part in a bin of stuff so don’t know/have more

I know it’s for supporting when folding but I think I would manage fine without it and it’s a pain getting over the small threshold of my stairs as it constantly smashes it …. Plus it is ugly.

Anyone have luck removing it gracefully ?

Thanks

Filter ? Espresso? I have a Lelit and a V60. They’ve rested for about two weeks now

Giant Trooper , 28” wheel “touring” frameset

Stripped , washed and polished

I don’t get the difference between the two , what’s the incentive to extend today if the device is already free in the first option?

Chain breaker to one of the pins!

The quick release is on the cassette so can’t access that

Thanks

Tightened axle …. Wheel isn’t rubbing anywhere …. Headset feels ok. Light is working

Thoughts?
