Bikes: '12 Scott Speedster & Custom, 100% self-assembled carbon fiber mtn bike (w/ an XTR groupset )

[MENTION=493878]Lemond1985[/MENTION] good call. Almost took a guy up on an offer to use his 12-ton hydraulic press (per craigslist by-owner post) for a 6-pack of beer. I've had a hub with grime in it before and it didn't last long. No worried though, a few days ago I ordered another wheelset. I just hate to throw a good wheel away, especially if it's a good excuse to grab an impact driver. I'll probably never need anything more than 1375 in-lbs though so if the driver doesn't work I'll open a craigslist post titled "Undo this bolt with bare strength and win $100!" and price the attempt at $5 a pop. Perhaps a fare or maybe even a farmers market...
[MENTION=61571]Spoonrobot[/MENTION] -- Would have loved to see that. I wonder what the assembly line uses to put these things on that makes them so tight. I bet it felt good when it gave, other than the whole falling-on-the-ground thing.

A vise installation is a good idea but then the landlords would flip out on me.
