Excellent placement of the bollards to protect the valuable building in the place it got hit last time, but not the rest of it, and let’s not worry about anyone using the pavement.

If this happens I will be looking into moving to Berlin. Time to start learning German.

Shimano’s instructions are quite good. Are you sure the outer plate is absolutely parallel to the big ring? I used two steel rulers to set mine up.

“Bhaskaran has six previous convictions for 17 offences including matters of dangerous driving and drink driving, for which he was given a community order with unpaid work and a 28 month disqualification
He was ordered to carry out 60 hours of unpaid work and complete a 30-day rehabilitation activity requirement.”
That’ll show him.
Another gentle caress on the wrist.

Please. The way you’ve written it, the bolt is stuck in the bracket, not the frame. Can you buy or fabricate a new bracket?
… the bolt which connects the mudguard to a bracket on the chainstay bridge…

Five, maybe six years for me.
Five, maybe six years for me. I found some actual research some years back (a guy had people send him old helmets and he tested them) and unless it’s been treated like crap the “every three years” recommendation by the manufacturers is either a money grab or hedging against lawsuits, depending on how generous you feel.

Well, I’m impressed by the size of that room – are you royalty?Really effective use of a mirror and wide angle lens to make a room look larger. He could be standing near the corner of a 4 m x 5 m room. Still large, but not as massive as it first appears.
I am not convinced by that argument. Are you suggesting that people should simultaneously buy a premium product and a budget product, to verify whether the budget product does its job?How was I or anyone to know that the Decathlon tool would be so inaccurate? I had my suspicions after using it, as described in my original post, but chains are standardised. If you decide to design a checker that is going to fit between a number of links with the value x , then you get y, which is a precise figure based on the standard lengths of links and gaps in a chain. Your checker then needs to be 0.75y long on one side and 0.5y long on the other. Not exactly a difficult engineering and manufacturing challenge, so one just assumed the tool must have been right, even though chain life was so short.
I can only be faulted for not trusting my own judgement and buying a different tool earlier. Decathlon are to blame for a dud design, which they did not bother to test or compare to other similar tools to assess real-world performance.
Sorry for the whooosh!
