    I did,
    Maxle, hope BB & performance pack.
    Mine came with the RP23.

    I should have got the hope headset since the cane creek one lasted no time at all.

    If you can’t get hold of one you can make one up.
    You’ll need
    A bolt of the right size
    A Nut to go on the bolt
    A washer or a metal bar with a hole big enough for the bolt to go through.
    Spanners/hex key
    To use thread the nut onto the bolt then place the bar/washer on the bolt. Thread the bolt into the rivnut.
    While holding the bolt still turn the nut anticlockwise so that it pushes against the bar/washer. This will nip the rivnut up

    It seems it’s a bit of a faux pas if you’re a roadie.

    We have a phantom log layer at work who sneaks down to the toilet on the floor below his office to lay his stinky submarines.
    At least phantom bogey pinger has gone, they used to sit on the can & flick their nasal excavations at the far wall.

    I don’t know if they still do it but RBS used to charge you for every transaction made during the quarter if you had gone over drawn in that quarter.
    I got caught out by that when I was a student. I cleared my over draft and had enough in credit to cover the imminent charges due at the end of the quarter but RBS charged me to take out money that was in credit and these charges put me over drawn at the end of the quarter again which would leave me liable for another quarters worth of transaction charges.
    At that time RBS would charge you £10 to close your account too.

    I don’t bank with RBS anymore and never will.

    Both Mrs H & little H enjoyed themselves even though they spent most of the day in the van watching the changeover area. Managed to stay dry in the campsite so no swimming needed :D
    5 laps solo, still sore today, new brake pads on order.

    Me, along with one small excitable child on her first camping trip & the Mrs who isn’t fond of camping. I just hope it’s dry, which having seen the long range forecast I doubt. Oh dear.

    Is it an skf bb?
    I had an issue with creaking turbines on an skf bb & suspected one side was slightly loose.
    Changed to another make of bb & the creaking stopped.

    “its called work for a reason, it’s not supposed to be fun”
    “just be thank full you’ve got a job”
    “everyone needs to be flexible”
    is the attitude of senior management as they slope off home between 1600 & 1700

    It feels like I’m waiting for the final cigarette & blindfold.
    It’s now at the point where if it does happen I’ll just be glad that it’s over. I quite like what I do but ……….

    Oh and talking about it on the internet is a disciplinary offence :o

    As I understand it you can be sued for not clearing snow & ice from your land if you know someone may be injured and they subsequently are.

    From here
    http://property.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/property/article3205122.ece
    “On your own land, it is a different matter. You owe visitors a duty under the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 to take reasonable care to ensure that they are reasonably safe. This means that if you know someone (such as the postman) is likely to walk up your garden path, and you also know that the garden path is slippery, you must take reasonable steps to clear the path of snow and grit it if necessary.”

    I had slippage problems with a salsa qr seat clamp and thompson post.
    Greasing the cam in the clamp helped.
