I got my mates off without the tool, got a screwdriver and a hammer, twatted the outer ring off with the screwdriver, put the inner ring in the vice, wound it up tight then just spun the wheel off
Bit of a bodge but cheaper than a tool if you're a tight arse haha
What are people's opinions on the idea?
My plastic ones are getting ready for replacing

Going for a full on lock, trying to reduce the squidgeyness right down
Also when filing I'm using my respirator mask so I should be fine
Very itchy indeed, did an hour on it earlier and it gave me a rash on my arms already lol Did an hours work on the booster earlier

Tyre clearance is about 5mm each side
Bolt holes are measured exactly at 100mm and they fit sweet as a nut Didn't want to make them slots because then it would allow the bolts to slip, which is what i'm trying to prevent (the whole point of the booster)
Looks rough as a bears a*se at the minute but i'll hopefully get some filing done tomorrow
Needed a 4bolt booster for my Toxsin One and so i've decided to make one out of a sheet of 6mm thick carbon fibre i had laying around. Just wondering if this will be thick enough? I cant flex it at all so it can only help my brake. Still a work in progress and needs filing and sanding.

The stem is very funky
The bike came with a Try-All stem on it but I wanted my GU bars on it and unfortunately the clamp size on the Try-All was too small
Things to change:
Stem
Brake pads (I think the current ones are TNN Balaeys looking at the colour. Blue but too dark for Rockman pads and Heatsink blues)
Freewheel (Current one is shimano which will do for now but really need a freewheel with more engagements
Front rim (Current is a Mavic disc only rim but I want to put my white Try-All Rim on it (Ebay £8!))
Put a 4bolt booster on it.
Thats about it really

Anyone know what these frames are like to ride and/or how strong they are?
Need a new cheap frame as I snapped my Base TA26, no surprises there then
Cheers
