    I polished a bit more of the hill between the valleys. Maybe a very slight improvement. Will have another go today at removing a bit more. While the bolt was pulled apart completely, degreased and...

    Ive had 2 Mercators, the locking springs broke in both so dont bother with them anymore. I did cut up a cattle beast with one once so they do work, well until the springs broke.
