Having resurrected this thread the other day I feel I should really make use of it.
So here is a double-rant...
Rant 1.
Who knew that the Shimano BBR60 bottom bracket (105/Ultegra level) requires a different tool to the BBR9100 (DuraAce level) for removal/installation?
To the naked eye they look identical, both being smaller than the standard Hollowtech II BB and both having 16 notches for engagement to the tool. To the naked eye they look identical, but obviously they need to have a 2mm difference in diameter so poor Saps like me have to buy two tools instead of one.
Rant 2.
So I thought I’d post about this on the
What Have You Fettled Today? thread to hopefully saving some other poor sucker from making the same mistake as me. Only I couldn’t remember the exact name of the thread but knew it had the word
fettled in it.
So off I went to the Search function to search for all threads with the word fettled in the title. Now this is a fairly well used thread so I expected to see it in the first page of results. Was it? Was it buggery! The first page of results was filled with other, barely used threads, including one called
Re: the "
What Have You Fettled Today?" thread, which I then used to find the heavily used thread I wanted
.
But by this time I thought bollox to it, I’m going to put it on the rant thread instead. Luckily this thread was on the first page of results for
rant so I don’t need to find a grape to crush.
