I’ve driven up to Birmingham
I’ve driven up to Birmingham to pick up a kebab, so I’ve got this double bill. I struggled a bit to make the video work but it’s worth it – having found his/her way blocked, he appears to drive off, having damaged three lots of other people’s property. Just another day.

that said and I haven’t done this myself it looks to me on my Shimano 135 mm wheel that the 5mm extra is mainly made up of a cyclindrical spacer on the NDS – it does makes me wonder.
