Hey midget, 4 bar blues in A, I can handle that. I'll even throw in a couple of Robben Ford licks.

I can handle Vieuxtemps 5, and a few Paganini caprici. (not tonight of course, the fiddle is up and the music stand lights are off)

No you're dumb. You use an 11 mm allen wrench with a lot of torque down the middle of the freehub body. I think it is regular threaded.

heckler 06-10-10 05:35 AM

not a cassette razor. the freehub body that the cassette sometimes marks up....esp if you forgot a spacer that one time and you now have a replacement.

Either way, I was kinda star struck. So then as I left I dialed it up to 400w and dropped him of course.

FAIL. You did not deliver unto him, The Look before droping him.

Actually, the eassiest way is to put the wrench in a vice, with the long side sticking up about 3 or 4 inches, and put the wheel, freehub down onto thewrench . Then use the whole wheel to turn , like a steering wheel. be ready theem suckas' is tight.
