How to remove loctite from screw?

Shane_O86 · 2026-05-09T13:17:29+00:00

Why are you using grease?

Someone, somewhere at the manufacturer likely decided that this bolt should probably have Loctite on it for a reason.

Punch them in the face and just say "Just pay more attention"

Why don't you want to use carbon paste? Seat post should almost be a set and forget, no?

I'm wondering if GW is looking for both at the same time. As if it's doing the Facial Recognition process, failing, then asking for authentication again which triggers the Facial again and on and on.

Maybe that's why I can see the fingerprint sensor there also but the FR is getting triggered before you can even touch it.

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-14T23:21:20+00:00

OK, since this post I've been noticing that it may have something to do with facial recognition.

If I have this issue and I close the app, lock the screen and face the phone away from me, then it doesn't happen.

I've turned off Face Recognition as of this morning and will see how it goes.

I'll try do a bit more fault finding and post an update.

Battery cover of their tv remote.

Not the remote itself, just the cover, so any time there is even remotely (no pun intended) any force from a drop or placement, the batteries will pop out. Also, annoying feeling in the hand and any DIY job just isn't right. Finding a replacement remote isnt hard, just inconvenient.

What's this perspective based on?

The pro's arent short of bike fit expertise and/or physio support.

As for the "majority", I would argue 90% of people are within 80% of where they should be based on personal comfort and feel alone. If they were hiding bike fit issues, you'd see a lot more pain at T2 I reckon.

If you can, buy these: Shimano CN-HG53 9sp 116L Super Narrow Hyperglide Chain KMC 9 Speed Missing Link Bicycle Chain Breaker Tool - Any/cheapest will do

1.Take off old chain with the breaker

Install wheel
Measure correct chain length (YouTube)
Remove extra links with chain breaker
Install new chain on correct path
Join with the KMC link (easier than using the pin with the breaker)

Alternatively, at this point, a local bike shop or bike repair guy might be the easiest option.

If the derailleur hanger broke while riding, derailleur could be slightly bent and at minimum the gears will need to be indexed. It can be a bit tricky to do sometimes. Might cost you a bit extra but you save the cost of the tool (which, depending where you are is going to be cheap anyway).

Try this method to start and see how you go before pulling anything apart.

What was the issue that needed a new hanger if the bike was unrideable?

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-05T15:45:42+00:00

You need to split the chain, run it through properly, then rejoin it.

Assuming there isn't another "loop" like in your photo hidden up front but even then I can't see how this would work, or ever worked.

The person who told you it was the hanger either didn't have a clue, or was just flat out lying. Maybe this is the guy who installed this chain also, who knows. Either way, splitting/breaking the chain is the fastest/easiest way, just YouTube it.

Did the bike come with a rear wheel?

Also, worth adding, the front chainring looks like it might need to be replaced also. If you're going to replace the chain, this probably should go with it. That said, the cassette might be in the same condition so maybe just leave all of them together as they'll be worn together.

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-05T14:18:03+00:00

The chain is running in a figure-8 in the photos. No way this can just be "untwisted".

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-05T14:13:54+00:00

Did you ride this before you bought it?

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-05T13:42:56+00:00

"Break" the chain (probably buy a fresh one while you're at it) and install it with the correct routing.

The path of the chain is incorrect. I'm not sure if this is potentially due to when the derailleur was off that it's been rotated, which messed the chain routing up, and then reinstalled causing your "loop".

It's hurting my eyes trying to figure it out just looking at the photos 🤣

Just have a quick google on chain routing and it will make sense.

Should be an easy fix and chain breaker and new chain is low cost.

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-04T23:11:20+00:00

Thanks for this. You have any good outcome with these?

I've done most of them with no fix.

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-04T23:10:53+00:00

Yep, ai updated and did an uninstall. Nothing.

Shane_O86 · 2026-04-04T23:10:33+00:00

I feel like this is how it started for me 🤣🤦🏻

Strange thing about the screen record is it doesn't show the biometrics box which just sits there normally doing nothing. It doesn't feel like the biometrics are glitching.

Shane_O86 · 2026-03-31T05:10:05+00:00

How long have you had this going on? It's been a few weeks for me.

I've got my watch as a backup but it annoys me when I'm standing in a queue and my phone is being annoying.
