I'm around, but not up for a late one so it's probably not worth heading west just for me.

Depends, if @Sifta comes along then we talk about Brexit.
The location is variable and not the Red Lion any more. The plan was floated a couple of months back to convert this to Riverside beers and explore the range of pubs on the Thames that West/Southwest London has to offer. It would be good to get a bit more of a crowd to do that, but it seems to be pretty much "by appointment" now.

Cheers @fasih I was already into making dinner by the time I saw your post. Next time.

I can't work out the physics of how you strip the lockring thread. If you try to skid and the cog starts to rotate backwards then it will start to tighten the lockring (anti-clockwise rotation of a reverse-thread), but it will just tighten onto the face of the cog. Two possibilities that I can think of are that you (i) are over-tightening the lockring and/or (ii) are using a weirdly skinny cog so that the lockring, when tightened, starts to strips the threads on the hub before it meets the face of the cog.

The weather looks like it might clear later. Anyone around?

An XT front disc hub comes in at about 250g, a Phil Wood low flange rear track hub is about 350g. If you build them up onto the same rim the disc hub should be lighter, no?

On the basis of that map the hills just inside the M25 near Caterham are ones to include.

Obvious point: are the adjusters set tight enough? Lubricating the springs will free up the release mechanism making it easier (and, importantly, more predictable) to unclip.
