Will Mrs Ashes be disappointed though?
Actually I do, forgot a fomo’d a 5L of isopropyl at the start of the year.

I saw this on the Facebook group and wondered how you go seven years without replacing an outer or noticing before it got to this point.Not me, but something to confirm @moorey's anti-bb-cable-loop bias...Check yo' clearances kids.

That rubbing for 7 years would surely even wear right through the steel cable
On a duallie…which it appears to me…that must have wreaked havoc on his shifting as the suspension compresses…

Feelin' a bit rrranty
Same haha... "I'm the second owner" and you never inspected the bike at purchase, never changed a cable, never noticed that the suspension was shit because the gear cable was restricting linkage movement? Fuckwit.

Can’t have both been loose, or you’d have spun them on the spindle and munted the splines in your crankI wonder if the incessant squeaking on the last few rides had anything to do with the hollowtech bolts not being done up??
They were so loose I’m surprised they didn’t just rattle out on the trails. At least that plastic tab kept them from falling off completely.

One was so loose the head was sticking out and wobbled to touch. The other in more but still zero tension on it.Can’t have both been loose, or you’d have spun them on the spindle and munted the splines in your crank
Didn’t think about the potential for it to spin on the spindle, but it must have been close.

Seen a few ruined that way. Albeit more like landing a jump than spinning, but count your blessings.

Are Shimano cheaping out and not putting loctite on the bolts anymore?!?

I have no idea what was going on last time I setup this bike. One of the bb cups was a turn out, and even worse was the b limit screw turned all the way in (have never seen a jockey wheel so far from a cassette) and both limit screws were a fair way off too. No idea how the thing was shifting gears at all.
I guess to answer my own question, was putting the drivetrain back together with my 3 year old keeping me company. Installed the bb 3 times before I eventually remembered to put a spacer where it belonged and must have taken me 40 minutes to do a simple gear adjustment and get the thing shifting nicely.

Loctite and grease, as was the fashion at the time.

Non-bike and very minor CotFW...
All day yesterday I felt quite warm, but the weather's on the swing toward the hotter months and I'm not in an air-conditioned office at the moment so figure I probably just haven't acclimatised yet.
To work I normally wear 1x singlet, 1x cotton T-shirt, and one polyester (uniform) polo shirt. (yes, I also wear pants, etc... @Minlak)
Late in the evening I start getting undressed ready for bed.
Take polo shirt off, take t-shirt off, - wait a sec -, why am I still wearing a T-shirt? (Suddenly feeling that "Your brain has experienced an unexpected error" freeze...). Well, I managed to 'restore the program' and take off the second T-shirt I'd apparently been wearing all day and my singlet before jumping into bed.
D'oh.

And you’d been blaming Pfizer earlier. Shame on you.

I might be able to blame Astra Zeneca mid-next week, but not Pfizer.

Went to shorten the brake lines to complete the build on my new bike and the barb sits behind the olive with Hayes dominions. So I needed to hold the hose in place when tightening the compression fitting. Which I didn't. So as I snugged it up the hose came out.
Finding it difficult to source the required olive without paying $40 for 10 posted from dirt jerks.
Gutted, I guess I'll cough up for quick local delivery but $15 postage for an envelope seems excessive.
