The Pub / Re: What have you fettled today?
« Last post by T42 on Today at 03:00:59 pm »Decided to replace my FD cable, which was 90% through above the fixing screw and pointy with it. Chopped through it, unscrewed it, peeled back the shifter hood and tried to persuade the nubbin on the end to come out through the available hole on the side. Nyet. Dismounted the shifter from the bars, leaving the brake cable connected, turned it over then shoved the hood down and removed the master pingfuckit screw and the two small plastic covers to get at the nether hole, and eventually managed to force the nubbin straight down and out.
Dear Lord, what sadistic clown designed this piece of prime shittery?
The new cable had a nubbin on each end, one stamped C and the other S, presumably for Chimano and Sampagnolo, so I chopped off the C one. And guess what, the S nubbin won't go into the beast's nether hole.
I have scratched the name of Shimano on a sheet of lead, spat on it three times and smeared it with the blood of a half-eaten hamburger, then folded it up into a small package and shoved it into a crack in the cemetery wall, the while chanting the 999 names of the Grete Beeste and turning widdershins (first catch your widder).
Tomorrow I shall try again. This afternoon is for sulks.
