Am finally submitting to having to clean and tidy studio/workshop, but I see this thing on the bench, and it looks like it might be important. Only bikes I've been working/storing in there lately are an old Dawes road bike, old Lava Dome and a Dahon folder.
I had some used wheels delivered in a box, suppose it could have come from there (alien invasion), or it might be entirely unrelatedworld (ie magnetised/slotted onto something in toolbox in the distance past and now reappeared. Grargh. Alternatively anyone with a link to reliable online aspergers test.

looks like a spacer from a brake pad on a cantilever brake.
Thingy out of a pump to switch it from Schrader to Presta?
Nope, it's steel, has some uneven wear (see dark band) and too narrow to be a brake spacer. Two nicely chamfered ends to boot. Looks more like a bushing than anything. To what I have no clue.
*. EDIT - ZOMGGG!! Ha! The world turns once more 😀
It's a thrunger. Sadly, it's imperial, as almost all modern bikes are metric.
I was thinking shock bush.
edit: just realised that is a 5p. Bloody small shock!
Jockey wheel bushing?
Jockey wheel bushing?
It is indeed, luckily the tensioner was partially dismantled on the bench under a bunch of crap so had a eureka moment. PJ266 may well have saved the day sir if I hadn't gotten there first. Have a virtual beer anyway! Haha I sat there for 30 seconds with an M5 bolt sliding it on and off with a Peter griffin face before it hit me

To my shame I googled it.
Malvern Rider, was 'safe search' on or off?
What's safe search? Live dangerously me, don't even measure instant coffee out with a spoon.
