That looks like just the
Thanks, that looks like just the thing. Now that I know to look for ‘luer’ and ‘dispensing needle’, I found (and have bought) a similar offering on FleaBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303671325787
I think these are 14G which should be suitable (2.00mm OD).
That’s too wide and not long
That’s too wide and not long enough to clear out the Milkit tube, but I’ve ordered some piano wire to see if I can get some more life out of it (along with maybe an alcohol soak). The reamer is more for cleaning the valve which shouldn’t be needed with Milkit valves as they seal at the bottom which should prevent sealant getting up in there.
However, my tube is a bit damaged, so I’d like to replace it without buying another Milkit kit.
I’m told everything should now be fully fixed… it was to do with our extra large cookies, we need to be less greedy and have less big cookies is the technical explanation. Apologies again!Yep, it’s all working here now.
Nom nom nom
Isopropyl alcohol can
Isopropyl alcohol can dissolve latex/sealant, so you could try that. I’ve used it to clean up sealant on a frame, but not clothing but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Be careful with it though as it’s flammable (inflammable) and the fumes are an irritant so limit your exposure to it. You’ll probably need to be careful that you don’t ruin any rubber grippers on the shorts too.

I’ve heard that there’s a robust conspiracy theory that Abraham Lincoln was in fact several squirrels disguised as a president. There’s a lot of circumstantial evidence to support it including Abraham Lincoln having a high-pitched squeaky voice.
Ah – that’d explain the 500
Ah – that’d explain the 500 errors I was getting from Chrome on my PC. It’s fine on Firefox though.
If he is, does he get to carry a lance around in all his races from then on?Can he choose Armstrong?

Many of these incidents are slightly comical in that someone did something stupid but fortunately no-one was seriously hurt. This one is utterly horrific. As a parent to young adults of the same age group it is my worst nightmare. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-57824359 If you think that cyclists lives are of unique low value to some perpetrators of our (in)justice system then think on this. The driver had been drinking and was driving at upwards of 120mph in a 40 zone. The conditions were treacherous following rainfall. The coroner deemed that the case did not justify a record of unlawful killing, and to quote; “But did the driving meet the test of the conduct of the driver being truly exceptionally bad? No.”I looked up “unlawful killing” and came across this PDF: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/law-sheets-no-1-unlawful-killing.pdf
It starts with
- Following the decision of the High Court in R (Wilkinson) v HM Coroner for Greater Manchester South District [2012] EWHC 2755 (Admin) the conclusion of unlawful killing is restricted to the criminal offences of –
- Murder,
- Manslaughter (including corporate manslaughter), and
- Infanticide.
- The conclusion of unlawful killing does not extend to the criminal offences of causing death by dangerous driving or causing death by careless driving: ibid. By analogy it does not extend to Health and Safety Act offences where death results. No reference should be made in an inquest to any of these offences or the elements of the offences (except occasionally where it is necessary to acknowledge their existence and to dismiss them as irrelevant).
- Bad driving cases causing death may, therefore, only be regarded as unlawful killing for inquest purposes if they satisfy the ingredients for manslaughter (gross negligence manslaughter) or where a vehicle is used as a weapon of assault and deliberately driven at a person who dies (murder or manslaughter depending on the intent).
That suggest to me (with no relevant knowledge of law) that bad driving would only qualify if it was considered gross negligence manslaughter which is later defined as:
The authorities, particularly R v Adomako [1995] 1 AC 171 (HL) (see Archbold
2016 at 19-111 and 19-122), show that a person commits the offence of gross
negligence manslaughter (at common law) where the following elements are
proved –- The existence of a duty of care (based on ordinary principles of negligence) owed to the deceased,
- a breach of that duty of care,
- the risk of death (not just the risk of serious injury: R v Misra [2005] 1CrAppR 21 [25] (CA)) was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the misconduct: Reeves v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis [2001] 1 AC 360, 393 (HL),
- the breach caused the death, and
- having regard to the risk of death involved, the misconduct was grossly negligent so as to be condemned as the serious crime of manslaughter.
I’m not sure why driving at over 100mph into a house without even braking doesn’t qualify.

I don’t think anyone knows
I don’t think anyone knows what “tubeless ready” actually means except that the wheel can be run tubeless if you want to (although there are people who run “ghetto tubeless” which involves putting enough tubeless rim tape on a standard rim and hoping that the tyre doesn’t fall off).
If I were you, I’d start off with using an inner tube as that’s what you’re used to. Once you’ve got a few miles on it, you can then decide whether you want to try out tubeless or not. Generally, tubeless is more faff to install and more expensive, but it promises far fewer punctures and possibly better rolling resistance.
If you want to jump straight into tubeless to see what it’s like, then you’ll need some tubeless rim tape (or not if it’s already installed on your rims), tubeless valves (may be supplied with the wheels) and some tubeless sealant. If the rim tape is applied properly, then you can usually get a tubeless tyre “seated” with just an ordinary pump (track pump preferably), but if there’s small air leaks or the tyre beads aren’t well lubricated (dilute washing-up liquid is your friend) then the solution is an air-tank pump or your local bike shop. An air-tank allows you to put a large volume of air into the tyre quick enough to push the beads into place before the air escapes through any leaks. Once the tyre is seated, the sealant should then resolve any small leaks.
I’d be prepared to cut them
I’d be prepared to cut them some slack for not being able to handle HEVC as it’s a “newer” standard – might be worth re-compressing into MP4 instead. I can recommend using Handbrake (https://handbrake.fr/) for changing compression/codecs etc. as it works on lots of platforms and is easy to use.
Well, that’s taking the piss!Wasting police time if you ask me
When pressed for a statement, the police declared that they couldn’t find the offending vehicle and as such had nothing to go on.
Well, that’s taking the piss!
Well, that’s taking the piss!
I concur – the TRPs work
I concur – the TRPs work really well for long drop brakes but they’re usually over £100.
