I managed to explode a Shimano DX freewheel the other week whilst trying to remove it in 'the club style'

for a second i almost thought about having a go at re-building it.

Fook that, in the bin we go.

Have you seen all the bearings and bits in one!

Bugger that.

A similar thing happened to me when I decided to have a close look at my Chris King headset, I managed to find all but one of the ball bearings and put it back together  :idiot2:

Thats funny, I just replaced a front tuff hub with a cassette hub just 1 hour before I read this! The bearing cup was stuffed (cracked) :rant:

Why didn't you just replace the bearing cup?
