Ben John-Hynes Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) In my experience, a grind on the front will refuse to work. I've tried loads of different set ups and grinds, and none of them have worked. Edited August 24, 2009 by Ben John-Hynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
