Instead of using spit, I think that snot will work better.

We will all, I'm sure, look forward to your report on it's efficacy. Tongue

Mate you are all over this. Snot is less acidic than spit. We wouldn't want to degrade the structural integrity of the levers, would we?

Cheers

Well, let me just say that a first pass at the "spit and wiggle" method has been fruitless (although it does make neat squeaking noise). Will try again tomorrow using one of the many other methods... I also have a full dictionary of curse words that I compiled for a project at work (really) and I may have to break that out.

I will use the snot method to put the rubbers on but have to wait till I got a bad cold.

Got them on - heated 'em up with a hairdryer for a minute or two, shot hairspray inside and pushed like I meant it. Took a total of about 10 minutes. The key seemed to be keeping that pressure on and don't let up - they want to pop back off.

Then admired the bike for the minimum mandatory additional 10 minutes. Wink

No doubt, there is a tulip frenzy- like bubble about to form in RLET prices.
