Legit? Looks a bit dodgy but sorely tempted to take a punt at their prices.

I went overdrawn the other day, which made no sense to me. Checked my statement, realized I had forgotten to cancel the standing order for rent at my old gaff which I left a couple of months ago. Two extra payments sent. Oh shit, cancelled the standing order and rang them up to let them know. Checked my statement a couple of days later, and now it's only showing one payment sent, and apparently I've never been overdrawn. Wut? Can you retrospectively cancel a standing order? Now the old gaff landlords must think I was trying it on asking for two months refund. FFFFFFFFuuuu.

Can anyone recommend a small keyring style USB that has a decent amount of data, but is fairly tough - ie won't fuck up on a key ring with keys on it.
Ideally sub£30.
Cheers.
I've carried the 4gb version of this around on my keys for about a year, including lots of leaving keys in the door in the rain and falling off my bmx. Still works.

Weird question, possibly:
Does anyone know if there's some way you can use a tool's thread (instead of a tap) to cut a new thread? Like using some kind of lubricant, and gradually cutting a bit, undoing, cleaning out the waste, and re-threading to cut the next bit? or something?
This is a trapezoidal tap I made this way, because they're bastard expensive. I milled couple of slots slightly off-centre and tapered the ends, which is pretty simple if you can get in a machine shop.

snap on do a long 15 mm spanner with a flank drive which engages the flat of the pedal not the edge. I have managed to get seized pedals of with this where others (Park) have failed.
That flank drive looks interesting, never spotted that before. The pedal has a massive flat, so it would definitely fit. £27 hurts though.
-
The plusgas is definitely coming out. They're steel bmx cranks, so they're pretty solidly rusted together. No wiggle room for a little wiggle forward and back to get things moving. If it comes to it, I'll take the cranks off, take the pedal body off, grind tow flats on it, grip it in a vice and turn the cranks with a scaf pole.

Jesus fuck, I know which way a pedal turns.

And to hell with paying over the odds for a nasty piece of stamped tin. The pedal Is amazingly seized though, the bike got dropped in the canal and I never stripped it down and greased it properly afterwards because I'm indolent. It might end up involving a blowtorch...






Did he mean subrosa? BMX brand that make a few fixie skidding bikes.
