I contacted Wolf Tooth about their RoadLink; they wanted to see a picture, I presume they do not know what a NR looks like. Then they replied that they cannot see any reason why it would not work (nor do I) but do not know if it's been tried with a "claw".

5 MINUTES. That's how long it took the Rustoleum to eat through the bottom of a Solo cup and drop paint all over the floor. After cleanup, I grabbed the much thicker cap for the spray paint. 7 MINUTES is how long that lasted. After another cleanup, I think I need to find a metal container. BTW, no mater where you aim, spraying into a cup means major backsplash, so I smell a lot like mineral spirits right now. Anyway, I got part of the F&F touched up, color looks good, unsure of the # of coats to fill deeper chips yet and can I get the results sanded smooth without ruining the finish, or perhaps give up and leave them as-is.
I may have a set of GBs you could have, will check this weekend.

Re: the extender I've bought the check knockoffs for experimenting - had to deal with a Huret dropout and some quick work with a Dremel get me going, but I didn't want to mange one of the Wolf ones gicven the cost, just saying.

Re: paint - try a paper coffee cup.
