Here’s a nice one for anyone running disc brakes and can’t sort out rubbing after several attempts at caliper alignment. Works like feeler gauges between disc and pads when loosening / tightening calipers. Noise gone. https://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-pro-disc-brake-caliper-alignment-tool
I’ve got a cheaper version of that tool – clips that you put on the rotor. Can’t be bothered to dig mine out, so here’s a generic pic.
Where did it all go wrong? After Our House?When they made a conscious (and announced) decision not to be a ska band any more and Suggs decided he had a soul voice. As an old fart I can well remember the sense of despair which greeted every album after about 1982.
Yep, pretty much.
As a fan of Madness (well, the earlier ska-based stuff), I can say that song is dire.
It might not help and do it, but this is the perfect excuse to add the Pedro’s Vise Whip and the Abbey Crombie to your tool collection.Cassette removal luxury.
Nice try, tempting me to buy more cycle tools, but my old chain whip has yet to let me down.
Luckily, I’ve never had a stuck lockring despite my heavy-handedness, though I’ve made the mistake of having one not tight enough which led to a slightly wobbly cassette and then a rear wheel locking up when the lockring got jammed against the frame. I’m puzzled as to how Rendel’s lockring got so stuck.
“Star Trekkin'” by The Firm, not many remember another record they had 5 years earlier, “Arthur Daley E’s Alright”.…and who remembers Mel Brook’s Hitler rap? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zpYQJkBQp0
Going back a bit further with novelty records, I happened across the only performance of Monster Mash with Boris Karloff on Shindig – unfortunately there’s a huge logo right across the screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J45fHh8TP8A

I don’t know why they don’t just put use a bit of hi-viz paint and maybe strap a bike helmet or two onto the buildings. Couldn’t the council put a bit of white paint on the road to prevent vehicles striking the buildings?
You forgot to post the image of weightlifter squirrel with its little dumb bell set?
Yes, but approaching from the right on a mini roundabout would not be “established on the roundbout” Effectively allowing an interpretation that leads to a game of chicken. If you can get onto the roadabout before the car coming from your right, you may not need to give way to them.The rules aren’t particularly clear with mini roundabouts – I prefer to reduce speed if I can’t see what’s approaching.
He had quite the acting career, really. Wasn’t he in The Naked Gun/Police Squad as well?Don’t forget The Towering Inferno too
it would be almost worth paying to see how quickly they can fit a Schwalbe Marathon plusI use Marathon Plus on the Vitus gravel everyday bike, and they’ve never been any trouble to fit- but I haven’t had to remove them since fitting except for the Hewitt replacement wheel after the collapsed rim
Keep the tyres and rebuild the bike around them.
I similarly had no trouble fitting them onto Mrs HawkinsPeter’s MTB when she was using it for commuting – even swapped them with off-road tyres on occasion.
Over-inflated?No, it’s just the way I’m sitting.
Seems unlikely that wtjs would over-inflate a tyre enough to cause that damage and I would expect over-inflation to cause a more dramatic failure with a noticeable hole in the outer. Even if the tyre was over-inflated, it still looks to be a manufacturing defect to me.
I apprecate it’s a bit later, but don’t forget Outland.I remember watching it back in the day – like a remake of High Noon, but in space.
What I liked in the 70s scifi is the focus on the concepts (e.g. Soylent Green, Westworld, Rollerball, Logan’s Run etc) whereas modern scifi films quite often just end up being a big chase with the good guys running away from the bad guys. I think modern scifi is better served by TV series rather than films (I’m a big fan of Arrival though – a heroic attempt to put Ted Chiang’s writing on screen).
I think the 70s was when scifi moved on from being a sub-genre of horror as a lot of the earlier films were just themed monster movies.
No, no, no, if you’re going to quote Roger Moore Bond to me, you had better be ready for the obscure references.One of the nicest things my mum did [sniff] was take me to the cinema to see such delights as Moonraker, The Spy Who Loved Me, Star Wars, Superman, and Capricorn One.
Isn’t Capricorn One the one with O J Simpson?
I love the old 70s scifi films – it was almost a golden age of interesting ideas, though cheaply made.
Having been in a car to car collision on a roundabout resulting in a claim I have to agree with you, particularly if there’s no camera evidence. One question you’ll get asked is whether you were established on the roundabout and whether you were changing lane. Priority and give way to the right doesn’t come into it.Wouldn’t being “established on the roundabout” also mean that you’d be to the right of a vehicle joining it?
Well, that’s clearly a
Well, that’s clearly a manufacturing fault, so Halfords shouldn’t be trying to avoid dealing with you.
One possible tactic is to insist on returning the entire bike as it’s not fit for purpose/faulty and see if that prompts them to be reasonable.
