I *have* cut cables and housing using a chisel and hammer, but then you need a file to clean up the cuts on the housing (you should clean them up in any case). You also need some way of holding the bike upright and still while you work on it. I've assembled and disassembled many bikes simply lying flat on the floor, or else leaning against a wall (held up by my head as needed) but believe me it's much easier of you have a stand. You can get by with hooks hung from the ceiling, though these won't hold the bike still. (As a expat teenager, I did complete teardowns and build ups using nothing more than vise grips, hammer, chisel, screwdriver, and pipe wrench; these bikes had old loose bearing bb assemblies and I used the hammer with a nail to adjust the movable cup and lockring -- a fraught process indeed. The nail, with a big nut as anvil, also broke and re-assembled chains.) > Thanks! > -Max > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews.
