Just ordered two sets of Avid Shorty 4 canti's. I love that feeling of project underway, and parts ordered.,,,,BD


And then??? I promptly found out the (probably) original BB is frozen solid in the frame. A 1/2" impact wrench at 120psi, and even a 3 foot long breaker bar couldn't budge it a single millimeter. It's a cartridge, so I was getting pretty good grip on the socket. The plastic side spun the teeth out in one try. Guess it's either trash the frame, or heat it and ruin/repaint it.

I may try some PB down the seat tube, but I am not hopeful.
