Re: PO has me PO'd
Went to reassemble my hubs and noticed a bind on the locking knob, seems that my old knobs had a bit of a wear pattern. Rather than notch my knobs, i decided to cut the collar that was causing the bind in the first place
It s only a small amount, but enough to not allow me to torque the perimeter bolts down  20150112_120401  [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06/16079067867/]20150112_120529[

Re: PO has me PO'd
Um, why apple cider vinegar vs just plane ol' white vinegar? Does it make them tastier?

Re: PO has me PO'd
When I did my bike tank I started with 3 cans of Ajax kitchen cleanser and water (shake! shake! shake!) followed by 2 days and 2 gallons of white vinegar followed by a sock full of rice for a week. came out perfect.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Sounds to me like it was already in the kitchen and someone snuck it out to the garage.
