    Decided to check freehub as I know the mavic ones need a bit of lube now & again.

    Did it in the living room (watching lego masters Australia with kids)

    And one of the springs is just gone, found the pawl but spring….

    Now I’ve gotta pay £15 for a teeny spring

    Anyone know if hope bulb ones fit?

    Under the sofa.

    Like kayak23 said, under the sofa. More likely it’s bounced under the sofa, then bounced 15 more times & ended up under the fridge in the utility.
    It’s called ‘fridge suck’. Like chain suck only more annoying.

    Are they magnetic? I have a couple of magnetic ‘sticks’ in the shed for finding all of the things that fly around in there.

    Have you got a tap and die set? I found a rear suspension spacer that I lost a couple of bikes ago inside the case. I spent hours searching the shed for it at the time… it’ll be the first place I look for anything that goes missing from now on 😛

    Found it!

    On the bookshelf about 2metres from where I was sitting

    Bravo!
    Nothing adds value to an item more than finding it again after it’s been lost.

    I bet that was the last place you looked as well?
    Typical…

    Was it in correct ISBN order?
