Most annoying parts to fit !?!

Threaded headsets are a mare.
And cup/cone hubs.
And Alien clamps.
And grips. Hate them. Use any lube and they slip when wet, but are impossible to remove otherwise :twisted:
Lock ons for me now, screw the weight.

the best thing i ever found for fitting grips and keeping them in is black tea with sugar in, pour some in the inside of the grip before fitting , when it dries the sugar acts as a glue, job done!

Hairspray is the only thing to use when fitting/removing grips. Works a treat

Then you can add a bit of milk to the remaining tea and enjoy a post grip fitting brew. Lovely!

Forgot that grips are a pain in the ass as well!

How does hairspray remove the grips - serious :?: I want to change my bars but don't want to cut the grips off and cannot move them!

Hairspray is good - until you get wet under the grips and then it slips like hong kong phooey on a banana skin

no, lock ons it is

Bald man walks into a bar with a can of hairspray.
Bartender "That for you?"
Bald Man "No it's to get my grips on and off"
Bartender "So it's a pint of cyder then?"


Bald Man "Oh....that might just work"

Internal brake cable on Klein (when you've accidently pulled the guide tube out)

Worse is when it broke off inside :?
