Who doesn't have a claw hammer to hand for 'encouraging' those hard to shift bike components?

I sometimes think that a nice thick layer of grime insulates everything and keeps those tiny rattles quiet!

Does the fettling ever stop?

No

I had to look up what 'soy boy' means and what the origins/implications are. While things like the egging are probably not the ideal continuation of the debate and reaction around an awful event, your use of the term 'soy boy' is potentially quite revealing about your views and prejudices.

EDIT: wow people are fast on here

Good point...is there a reason?

Internally routed f&r dynamo lights? Looks good, will be intrigued to see the result!

The phrase 'get in the sea'

Solo glove might find a partner here...?

So wind. Much slowness.

Great write-up and photos, thanks. Looks hard but rewarding!

Awesome. Definitely hoping to join one of these expeditions soon!

Do any of you have more photos from this? Thanks

It might be worth contacting Food Cycle (foodcycle.org.uk) as they do this weekly with a team of volunteers, so will probably have experience and advice. Unless you are already the London Food Cycle Project!

Those forks look like they have a tapered steerer - not sure if the OP's frame does...?

Good read

Decent pair of nail scissors would probably see that off

I ended up passing my driving test earlier than expected and now I have no use for it

This is upsetting. On a semi-serious note - keep it and cycle to work anyway? You'll be cooler and sexier.

But still, nice bike - glws.

The Daily Mash surprisingly one step behind on this:

Much more entertaining

Two things - when people cycling in the opposite direction to you decide to drift all the way across the road, and ride down the road directly towards you on your side for 100m, before they deign to take their right turn, so you think 'wtf is this clown doing? Shit!' and then they merrily amble into a side road, probably still on the wrong side of the road. Seen a few of those around Bristol recently.

And secondly, Singletrack's forum with its incessant, unavoidable cookie warnings every 5 seconds and then you get spammed with winning an iPhone bollocks anyway. This place is way better.

A little project I had the other evening. I was handed down a slightly battered Deore XT M786 rear mech. The bracket axle and inner plate were both snapped (bottom photo)

But after a helpful email exchange with SJS Cycles, purveyors of the finest widgetry and doohickeys, I got a replacement for each part (middle photo)

And fitted them, giving me basically a spangly new 10-spd clutch mech for the mountain bike, a better appreciation of its inner workings, and a sense of satisfaction (top photo! Can't seem to arrange them in the order I want or in between paragraphs).

Nice. Following on the basis of a great drawing!

These can do steerers, bars, seatposts et al, with a nice clean straight cut you say...? A few jobs of that nature need doing, I think an investment might be worthwhile.

Strong Freak Zone with Stuart Maconie this evening
