Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Guys
There is a ton of experience in these forums and I have learned a ton. [ thanks for answering all my newb questions ]. I thought it would be helpful for everyone if everyone could list out their most hated, toughest bicycle tasks they have performed over the years or people could "request" answers to some of their hated tasks to see if there is a better way.
I'd like to kick it off with my MOST hated and barely solved task without a lot of swearing
:: MOST HATED TASK #1 :: REMOVING A STUCK NUT ON A HUB AXLE
Question: When you have a hub and there is a nut stuck on the axle that JUST wont move, what do you guys do to fix it?
Solution: I used pbblaster, soaked it, tap it lightly with a hammer, heated it with a heat gun, and a lot of dual wrench torque and finally those suckers come off.
Would love to see other solutions
