I have 240V GU10 spots and as the bulbs go I'm replacing the halogen bulbs with LEDs. The problem is to get the old halogens out I need to use one of those rubber suction gizmos , I guess as the spots are quire old and dusty?
The LEDs dont have a glass surface so are trickey to get in. Can I use something like quick drying electrical contact spray to clean or lubricate the GU10 fitting?

I've not dibs'd these so happy for @GreatSince78 to take them

Pm with some Qs

have you tried BikeFix in Lambs Conduit St? Not sure it's their thing but they do brazing and frame repairs etc so maybe they'll do this sort of thing.

you could get the window guys to hack it out, take out the galv, patch up it and cover it upvc?
Provided they don't go too wild taking it out.

Dibs the philwood bottom bracket.

Sorry don't know about Tempra's but you know that Atomic22 seem to have gone bust. I only mention it case you decide to go that route and their site takes your money, which I think it still does.

@starfish&coffee me toooo I've signed up for a wee monthly donation.

Nowt to add other than this bike looks brilliant!

It's an impressive feat, I think, so well done. I've got a broken N8, broken by me doing some long over due maintenance, so have a crack at stripping that.

Have you thought about a fitting oil port? This guy details the thought process and implementation.

I've never been in the situation of needing a new rim so never had the opportunity to retrofit one.

Good luck it's an interest project.

how long did it take you to strip and rebuild?
I've had a few of these over the years mainly nexus 8 and alfine 8 but I've never been brave enough for a complete strip and rebuild.

@thrasher ta for updating, I'll pm op.

def somewhere will have a look.
It's white and in fairly good nick. Fork is uncut.
I'll get some snaps and pm you as well.

Pompetamine any good?

@Brazelephantman sorry whats the oln on the hub pls?

Hi @Brazelephantman if @thrasher isn't interested I might be up for that SA S2/tyre/tube combo.
Your blurb about 19mm external 15.5mm internal, is it def 15.5mm inside?

Sorry had a good look and cant find them or the backup pair of forks I was gonna offer as well so sorry a shaggy dog offer.

make sure you get forks with the same crown race size or else you'll be pissing around with headsets etc. slightly longer steerer is better than shorter and if you can avoid it dont go the route of thinking I'll get the thread extended etc. dont ask how I know all this.

great thread btw and good luck

@FatManOnAFixie I might have a set of forks that you can have gratis if I can find them.
From memory they're part chromed part blue paint and made for 27" wheels, which your forks look like judging by the brake drop.
I'll have a look around for them this afternoon and report back.

potential 2nd dibs on the airbed if blacklisted doesn't take.

pms re drop bolt

PM incoming with a couple of questions
