My cable at 17:00 will not stretch to fit the pin back in it's home! Should I be releasing the tension somehow? Helppp!

[@unbalancedcrank]

Yes. Either slacken it at the barrel adjuster at the hub end, or if there’s no adjustment there you can move the guide wheel down a few mm, or the fulcrum clip/cable stop.

Super helpful! Was having some issues with chain tension and wheel slipping on my courier so seeing yours come apart in this much detail was great

[@unbalancedcrank]

MAke sure there’s an anti rotation tab washer in each side, or one of those and a chunky serrated washer in opposite sides. Nuts need to be VERY tight.

[@MaxwellVideos]

@@unbalancedcrank anti rotation washer snapped when I over tightened so have just cranked the shit out of it with a pedal wrench and seems to be working alright now!

[@unbalancedcrank]

Those castings are made of cheese! Tab washers are better.

Where is the section for rear wheel back on?

When I last bought tires I was shocked how expensive they've become. As well as tubes. Good job.

[@EriebyCycle]

If I put the wheels on before I inflated the tires, I’d probably have pinched one of the tubes and had to do it all over again.😂
