I'm on a tool-buying spree, splurged on a crank bolt wrench . . .
. . . and the stem and saddle for my next build came in.

carbon fiber and aluminum have an appreciable potential difference too.
in college, i once had to remove a carbon seatpost from an alu frame by hack sawing it off, then using a friggin hammer and chisel to scrape out all the CF.

Think liquid glove stuff but on a bike level. Same goes all the other stuff that we use.

I went into a shop to have an aluminum crown race removed from a full carbon fork and an employee was a bit annoyed that I used anti-seize on it. I took his word for it that it wasn't necessary.

Yeah, I went with those too, have no idea what I actually want, but for $10, these should be a good start. Of course, I don't have any brake calipers for risers...might have to get all fixie cool and go brakeless.

Bought a bike for my bike. Winter build (as in building over the winter, not building for the winter).
