Hmm.

I seem to have a circular saw, Royce and Shimano BB tools, and a range of headset spanners. All in SE7, if that's any use to anyone - not exactly close to Leyton, and three weeks late for that request.

(Could handily make use of the chop saw if it's not too far away - I don't have a whole lot of cutting to do though, so it's probably easier just to do it by hand rather than sorting out transport.)

Aye, one-off it's a bit of hassle, but you could set up for production pretty easily.

At that price, I'd take at least 2 - it's not worth borrowing your design and making my own ...

What sort of dimensions did you work to? Something like 40mm slots?

Aye, Pedalcover seem pretty good in terms of personal service (at policy inception and at renewal), and were about £200 cheaper for building & contents cover than M&S - both underwritten through AXA IIRC. Again, no claims experience.

I've got BB taps (BSA only) in SE7 - welcome to come over ...

Would have to be tomorrow (Wed 20th), or in a couple of weeks' time though - I'm going away on Thursday.

Can you post a pic of the underside please - looks to me like the nose bolt has already been extended a good bit

Looks like 6.35mm hand reamers are available cheap (probably because that's quarter-inch), but 6.1mm aren't.

Anyone got a cheap 36h 700c rim (or two) for sale? Not too hefty ideally.

I've got a few Mavic A319s in 36h silver, new and unused. Looks like they're about £27 each most places - £15 each or £25 a pair. Happy to post for a fiver.

Schwalbe are good, IME

Someone on YACF is looking for Superbe Pro parts if this is likely to interest them - https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=106652.0 (need to be a member to see classifieds).

Canary Wharf police who apparently don't give a fuck

They're not police. They're private security guards, with uniforms that ought to get them nicked for impersonating a copper.

Sealy Posturepedic - free to good home (well, any home really) ...

Reasonable condition (not too many stains ...) but it's a few years old and definitely secondhand: decent enough for a spare room though.

Collect from SE7 - PM if interested. You've probably got about a week before we put it out for the council to pick up.

A new window unit will cost £80

Probably not.

We knocked our rear wall out recently and replaced it with a glass bifurcating door.

They're not cheap.

600 Tricolore RD any good?

Probably not if the OP's looking for Campag, but you never know ...

Think I've got a Veloce knocking around, but probably 9-speed - too late?

The three course lunch with wine thing may be a French affectation - but one I think should be encouraged. I think you get a whistle as a five minute warning before departure - but you'd best have already finished your faffing.

Cheers, I hadn't looked on Toolstation. Although I really need a definitive answer from building control on how many smoke alarms I need, 8 seems excessive for a 3 bed flat but details on what you need if you don't have fire doors is scarce.

Have a look at Aico/Ei gear - several different ranges, and radio link bases so you can make the alarms talk to each other where running cables isn't going to happen. Ours are powered from the local lighting circuit, with long-life battery backup, so all I had to do was run a couple of feet of cable above the ceiling from each light fitting.

The installation guide on their site is pretty good in terms of suggesting where you should site them. (But yes, eight sounds about right if you're putting one in every circulating and living space - 3x beds, 2 or 3 in hall/landing/stair, 2 or 3 in kitchen/dining/living.)

As for suppliers, the SafeLincs site is reasonable - rarely the cheapest, but fairly competitive, and lets you see a lot of ranges in one place. (I think it started as a trading arm of a safety partnership including the local fire service, so again, they're pretty good on advice.)

Mind you, I think we got our alarms in dribs and drabs from a bunch of ebay sellers, and saved a fortune.

Saw one fixed last year but he dnf'ed

Might have been me. It's perfectly doable on fixed (64" and 24" for me), I just ran out of inclination about 200km in, and faced with the choice of another hundred hilly km, or 6km downhill on an A road to a station decided I'd get the train, then head to the arrivee and pretend to help serve stew while really drinking beer.

But if I ride it this year I'll have a full set of gears - was only doing it on fixed because I hadn't been arsed to rebuild my geared bike after breaking it earlier in the year.

Cats cradle of zip ties works fine, and if you're concerned about the aesthetics it's pretty discreet.

I think I did one round each chainstay, one linking them, and one round the 'bridge' going through a hole in the guard.

P-clip and zip ties might feel more secure or elegant, not sure it would have many practical benefits though.

I'll take 'em if motoko doesn't and amey's proxy dibs fall through.

Got one in SE7 if not too late or too far.

Prices?

I need to send a bike frame to Ireland

Try http://www.ipostparcels.com

I've sent a full bike to Spain for under £20 with them - looks like the online booking for Ireland is a bit funny about max parcel size, but their general limit is 120x80x80cm.

Anyone ever managed to successfully fill a hole in a tile (white and shiny)? I have a few holes from where a previous owner has taken some fittings.

How big are the holes? If they're just where fixing screws have been removed, silicone.

Obviously it's a bodge, but it works and is surprisingly discreet.

Cable stops/barrel adjusters

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-spares/shimano-alloy-braze-on-down-tube-cable-stops-with-barrel-adjusters-st66006603/

(Don't know if there's a special single one for mounting on the top of the tube rather than the sides. Don't think I've seen one though, and you'd want the cable to run to the side to avoid the pump peg anyway.)
