    I have a very nice smooth riding 25 inch second-hand M Steel frame,except a pre owner has jammed the BB adjuster cup,so redundant at present any tips as to removal apart from a blowtorch.Local bike shops have tried and failed ,as did my try with a Coal Hammer and Chisel.

    As I have enjoyed your ramblings (although not understood most of it) I will attempt to help on your little problem. Just clamp the BB adjuster in a good workshop vice (not a woodworking vice or workmate), then use the whole frame as a lever to unscrew it (make sure you know which way to turn it to loosen). If that does not work then throw the complete frame in a skip.

    Thank you for your comments
    Regards English,

    To attract less critical comments I suggest you try writing in sentences rather than as though you were speaking to us.

    I think Sir is either a chatbot, or using Google translate to convert the original Mandarin Chinese into Russian, then English.

    Or Yoda has started a cycling blog.

    I reckon a chatbot written in the Mandarin version of Scratch for a primary project then ported to the Russian version of Mindf*** (programming language, look it up) and translated into English by Donald Trump's diplomatic corps with the aid of Boris Johnson.

    I am a bit confused what rim depth has got to do with pinch flats.

    A Number of Warning
    by SirT35 » 10 Dec 2016 00:32

    Cycling since 7 have ridden many miles and have about 7 bikes some just frames.Bought only one new, a cheap aluminium
    but with the modern gearing.However took six months before modified to my liking.
    Previously only had Steel Frames,and would never buy an alu frame or deep rims again (needing 90 plus psi to avoid pinch punctures makes riding corrugated roofing more comfortable) .A suspension seat stem an improvement, but had so many pinch punctures and difficulty removing old tube etc on the road and with the need to reach such high Psi i now carry a Stirrup Pump !!!!!!!!
    So my warning of 40 plus years cycling only buy steel frames with lugs for a carrier and mudguards, with shallow clinchers as they need less than 80 psi.Tyres i got from Wigan 27 1 and a quarter (31mm)on shallow clinchers v good
    For Road Craft cars hurt, let them pass,keep to quieter routes.Always stay behind left indicator in traffic so can see drivers head movements and wheel turning and expect the worst,not knocked off so far though many have tried.NEVER undertake a lorry or bus unless it is blocked in.

    You and Tony Rees should do a podcast together.

    If that's the only bit that confused you you're doing better than most.

    Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose 7 bikes. Choose aluminium with f*cking modern gearing. Choose washing machines, cars, steel frames and stirrup pumps...Choose a suspension seat stem and wondering who the f*ck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing Eurosprt commentary, sticking PED's into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, trying to avoid pinch punctures, nothing more than an embarrassment to the tyres you got from Wigan. Choose deep rims......why the f*ck would I want to do a thing like that?

    He didn't choose life. He chose something different.
