Thanks for confirming the size bolt required.

Noticed one of the spd bolts was missing from the spd cleats on my Aldi/Lidl mtb shoes.
(Noticed when I couldn't unclip.
Cue minor hilarity as I had to slip foot out of shoe to manhandle softroad bike over steel bar/post 'fence' either side of 'kissing gate' on recently resurfaced Council footpath.
Luckily, I had installed my Clas Ohlson end-of-lined Wellgo removable spd pedals, so at the end of the ride the shoe could be fairly easily removed from the pedal).

Son walks past LBS on way to school. Asked him to pop in and see if they had any replacement bolts, or at a pinch a cheap set of replacement spd cleats.

Forgot in this outer north west London suburb, LBS, is a Specialised Concept store.

Son returned home with two negatives;
1) no spare spd cleat bolts
2) only spd cleats in stock were S-Works at £60 a pair.

Was about to post the question of where to source replacement spd cleat bolts,
so thanks again.

The brexit panic over the Lords' ruling is clearly showing us which MPs, or would-be MPs, are too stupid to hold elective office.

is there anyway that say IDS can be cautioned/sanctioned by the Speaker for lying,
(outside of Parliament)?

Well done Bangladesh!
Disappointing for the English middle order, again,
but,
anything that re-balances Test Cricket
and lets cricket fans enjoy something other than the biffball of the IPL and its copycats
has to be good for the future of cricket.

So for India, Buttler in for Ballance?
Even if he only gets a ballance-worth of runs, at least he could keep for a session if Bairstow puts together a decent innings.

You can imagine the (probable) outcome.

Thanks for the reply,
I'll try the remedies on a ride tomorrow.

Riding home from Wests on Thursday night,
the ToSeek did not feel quite so comfortable.

About 100 miles in, in total, and my legs felt that bit of discomfort normally sorted by raising the saddle a little.
Is the normal procedure for these saddles.
1) raise sadlle few millimetres
2) angle nose slightly more down?

Imagine a blend of caramel with the texture of stewed bramley apple with overtones of cinnamon, a touch of clove, maybe a hint of numeg, all improving and strengthening as the medlar bletts into ripeness. Truly the most exotic fruit that grows in the open in the UK, (greenhouse/glasshouse/orangery owners can ------->).

Although I've never tasted the 'checker' the fruit of the wild service tree, formerly used as a pre-hop beer flavouring,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbus_torminalis

so possibly a solution for all the over-Hopped, on-trend IPAs?

For those that enquired:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mespilus_germanica

More literary references than when I last looked.

Just the one tree I know of in peripheral Ruislip,
traditionally over-pruned by the LB Hillingdon contractors,
but still gives fruit,
ignored by the other residents and even the squirrels.

Yep,
Surprisingly warm night for the return ride.

The journey from Ruislip was quicker than expected. I'll slow down..

The Kadyrov one references someones birthday.

@mdcc_tester
Perusing the Wera catalogue I noticed they now have bits for Torx Plus,
penta-lobed, as opposed to the hexa-lobed (normal) Torx.
Is there any mechanical advantage for the penta- option,
or,
is it just a slight security feature and a method for the screw/bolt manufacturers to make more than just a commodity return?

Browdge?

All modern wide-bodied jets have been designed to carry many tons of freight, in addition to the passengers and their luggage. A look at the Wiki page of the venerable Boeing 747 will show how it has changed over the 40+ years it has been in production.

(csb: was once flying back from Singapore, overheard the [BA] crew discussing the barely a couple of minutes delay to take-off; a few standby passengers had been 'let down', as someone needed to get a pallet of pc hard drives into Europe overnight, and BA would make money on this freight compared to the minimal marginal return from standbys).

There are very few freight only flights into LHR, they cannot afford the landing slots.
The days of the 'Flying Tigers' cargo-only 747s being an everyday feature at LHR are long gone.

East Midlands airport has built itself a reputation as the UK's premier airfreight hub for the likes of DHL/UPS etc.

10,000 Londoners per year suffer premature deaths from air pollution due to NOx.
Another Heathrow runway ensures higher concentrations over London and the flightpaths.

Does not the description of the tubing being Accles & Pollock cro-mo,
reduce the attraction of this particular frameset,
or,
were Hobbs' seldom Reynolds 531?

Cue foreign-owned, (mainly Spanish, Chinese & Qatari?), Heathrow Airport Ltd., negotiate/bully the CAA into letting them increase the Landing Fees and Passenger Handling fees, from about the middle of next month, so the expansion is paid for by passengers before the Third runway is even commissioned, and to avoid the owners having to borrow any more capital.

I'm wondering if you have (aged) service valves or tap connectors that are reduced bore?

I was unaware that the option existed until I fitted service valves to both our toilet cisterns a couple of years ago. The reduced bore service valves did not really matter for these, (who cares if the cistern takes a bit longer to refill?), but did have to seek out full bore 15mm service valves for the upstairs bathroom hand basin.

Aaah,
so 'they've' turned this

into an Opera?

The Polish Air Force was based at RAF Northolt,
hence the Polish War Memorial, (to all branches of the Polish military, & presumably Merchant Marine), on the A40 to the south of Ruislip.
