you know when you just have one of those days, where it feels like a whole swathe of good work is wrecked by one tired movement? I had one of those yesterday…
I had just finished my new Columbus MAX roadie, and I was well chuffed. The drive side dropout needed to be set out by 3mm, not much and pretty standard procedure. In my tired and hasty state I set about to cold set the chainstay, but I put too much of my back into it and rippled the damn chainstay
Now there is a ~1-2mm bulge just next to the BB lug and I am kicking myself, but really these things just happen and framebuilding is never easy.
So I now have to replace the DS chainstay which will be an arse of a job, so in the meantime I have built the beast up and am gonna ride it nude. because I can!
end vent…
