Does anyone have a HT11 tool they could bring, I've got a BB somewhere (might have to raid my emergency box for a superstar one :s ) but the tool has gone walkies ๐Ÿ™

The little plastic one that tightens up the axel, pretty please?

I can't do this now (I can't seem to remember saying I would be, but I more than likely did), so I may need removing from that list. Unless 'James' is in fact somebody entirely different to me, 'james' ..

Is it ok for me to come out to play, too?

I'm afraid I'm definitely off the list. The wrist still isn't up for it, just about managing some gentle road rides, and going to have a little play on Sunday if I can but I think I'll struggle, even with a pootle, in the the peaks

Anyone got a HTII bottom bracket spare? Sam's is falling to pieces - we've currently got it in bits here but the seals are knackered. Any contributions welcome....

(if not, he's going to risk it anyway)

I'm out, again! This ride is cursed. Pretty annoyed though, seems to be the same cycle everytime...

Train > Train > Train > Feeling Strong on the bike > Injury > Repeat

Knee problem, operation on the horizon, really bloody sore. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

No show for me I'm afraid. No wheels, or forks on the bike and in any case I've got to go to Telford tomorrow to do a job after having today off pricing work.

left cup the worst, we just need to replace it so he can ride. We've done the best we can but it's making nasty noises.

I've got the tool just need the spanner and the part.

We'll get there for 9.30am for repairs!
