What about cutting the cable off flush and drilling down with a fine drill
bit partway into the cable head and tapping it with a hammer, or perhaps
using a very fine nail as a tap, holding it with pliers and striking the
nail with a hammer. Have you tried soaking it in boiling water?

I’ve used a 2016 Campagnolo Chorus FD with 46 x 34 and 46 x 30 doubles with
good results. The Chorus derailleur was originally from a 52 x 39 setup.

Not that it’s too difficult to scroll to the bottom of the for sale posting
list, how about the next person to post here does so under a new heading
such as:Bikes For Sale: Craigslist, ebay, etc. Late Winter edition, 2023,
or whatever is to your liking

I also purchased a set of three. They are quite well done. The designer
used head badges, etc to map out where each bicycle and parts manufacturer
were located geographically in the three countries.

The Nitto FW30 by Bluelug looks like exactly what I need for a build. Does
anyone know if this is stocked by anyone in the USA? The shipping cost from
Japan for this one item essentially doubles the price of the stem.

I’m a fan of the Shimano PD-T8000 pedals, which I use on my so-called
gravel bike, which is just a Surly Cross-Check. I got the pedals new for
about $90.00, not the suggested retail price of $130.00.

I like Bill’s description of a mechanical varsity maneuver for setting up cantilevers. It took me forever back in the day to set up Mafac cantilevers on my Alan cyclocross bike. Trial and error and you may work out how to do it. In my experience with cantilever brakes at present (n=1 bike), I set

I’m not a fan of pink but that’s one Wicked Pissah build Bill. Great choice

Patrick,
Like you, I’m also a fan of Miche cassettes because of the ability to
customize their gear ratios with all 10 cogs being loose. They make a good
product, and I also look for a high gear of no less than 14 teeth.
