    Is the hub compatible with a standard CenterLock lock ring? If so, remove the lock ring with the external BB tool, then replace with a new lock ring that uses the freewheel tool.

    Sorry for the thread bump on this, but the Jobsworth wrench discussed below is on a limited time sale at £12.99 right now, even more of a bargain at this price for anyone thinking of a great value torque wrench.

    Ah I see, thanks. Seems a bit steep doesn’t it? Although I guess anyone who is competent enough to change a tyre, fix a puncture, etc themselves should be able to stay on top of this at home. £16 for a bottle of Stans with enough for 8 wheels works out at £2 a wheel plus some time.

    Wonderful! I just can’t wait to sign up for £20 per wheel every 6 months

    Where do you get £20 per wheel every 6 months from?

    Agree ref proper box, and as an alternative to a trailer, could you use bus/train/taxi at either end? Appreciate it’s less “active travel” than riding to/from the airport, but ultimately, you are actually using an aeroplane for the other part of the journey.

    Since bike cameras only record what is in plain public sight any GDPR relevance is bogus. Vehicle registration plates are not PII since no person is identified by it. Only the competent authority that is provided with the evidence of a vehicle registration can get the details of the registered keeper (PII) so become a Data Controller.

    I thought that one could look up the owner name & address of a Swiss plate via the AutoIndex system? Something I thought contributed to the friendly standards of driving when I passed through on the way to Stelvio Pass a few years ago.

    No thanks but I’ll have a bottle of the 2009 Saint-Émilion – it’s a Goodyear.

    Does this establishment have a Michelin star?

    Fair enough, but the article itself and related articles are dated 2019. The important point is whether this exemplar for cycling infrastructure has supported Trump since then and is likely to support him in the near future. That would tell us all we need to know.

    Wow. Seems like sweeping generalisations and assumptions *are* OK sometimes. Personally I don’t give a monkeys who they support, or when. I’m able to read an article and make my own mind up based on the content rather than the author.

    I hope the driver is okay – did they find them in a korma?

    it’s possible the driver suffered a medical episode before the crash. Dodgy tikka. 

    The emergency services tried to reverse the car back out, but it was a naan-starter

    I think it was syndicated across all of the Retch plc local titles, so also in Dorset Live, etc.
