It took 2 years off my life :-(

Thankfully I found an exploded diagram on their website to put the 30-odd bits back together - but
they fail to mention that the thrust bearing assembly uses special nano-ball bearings that aren't
securely caged together!

It was the lock screw that got me and I forgot to undo it and hence partially stripped the thread
off the central bolt.

Same here - but thankfully it wasn't that tight and no damage was done.

Wait until your try the brake/gear shifters. Too stupid to realise how to change the gear cable
(actually the simplest thing in the world), I took the whole thing to bits. That spring really is
fiddly, even with the shimano tech site diagrams.
