As I am too fat and lazy to open up the thread "How many bottom bracket tools do you own?" I post here, the very epicenter of cheap and resourceful.

So, it happened, yet another shitty Trek ended up in my garage: seriously, why do people have to selled lugged bikes for 20€? To me?

Although, a twenty for this one was actually about right. Bam, I present to you, Trek 950 in white from 1990:

I know, it is a lot to take in. Doing the first tear-down is like a journey through the decades, every stuck part and poor component choice is an imaginary meeting with the previous owners, and you hold back that face slap because suddenly there is a small glimpse of hope, someone who loved the bike:

"Ahh, little XT canti, we meet again, any other relatives here?" "Yes, my uncle, he is the only one who stuck around...up there, the post."

Fuck.

Yeah, well a loose XT post would have been too good, life is hard, get used to it.

I simply refuse to cut that out, it'll be good, feed the kid properly and he can use it next summer.

So the next little surprise was that this one got a 1 inch fork, whereas all my other Treks are 1 1/8. Small change of plans, let's see how it sits as a monstercross:

That's got potential, and more important, the fit with the Hookworms is very very good.

So if you are still reading, what does all of this got to do with bottom bracket tools?

Well, I think I got 5-6 of them, but this one had yet another standard with a notch specifically design to ensure bloody knuckles. Big thanks to Hatta. And the NDS cup was stuck in a severe way, blowtorching and increasing levels of violence did not budge it, but today was a good day and a victory for the DIY bracket tool based on an M10 bolt:

That and a breaker bar and the project can progress...I had a washer on first, but let's face it, that cup is never going in another bike and just using the nut allowed it to embed into the steel cup, with this is was pretty straightforward to crank it out from the NDS.

Happy wrenching guys!

Why's the seatpost stuck? I thought tjis usually happens due to alloy on steel combo.
Not sure how bad it can be with steel on steel, fingers crossed?

I had to go out now and put a magnet on it, assumed it was alu. OK, so there is hope, steel on steel will be easier, I did not put much force into it yet. The bike has been sitting outside, I had other bolt stuck but got them out now.

Habe nagelneue Gravelking hier liegen. Incl. Schwalbe Schläuche mit Autoventil. Kannst alles für zusammen 56 Euro incl. Versand haben. Dann müssten deine Probleme Geschichte sein. Schwalbe laufen eh unrund. Bei Conti habe ich es leider mittlerweile auch schon mehrfach im Bekanntenkreis bemerkt.

Bester Panasonic Paintjob! Richtig schönes Rad :)
(Ganz viele Pluspunkte für das Farbmatching der Rahmenlogos mit den Reifenlogos und dem Hintergrund!)

Sehr geil😍
Nur noch die obligatorische Frage: Welcher Lenker?
