Just received mine today. Awesome. Thanks!

…or if you want to be really anal precise about it you can buy one of these tools:

and use with a torque wrench to match the specified torque setting for the BB.

That’s what I did.

(apart from when they took the station away)

A little tour of NW London:

Willesden Green by The Kinks
From Willesden to Cricklewood – Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Cricklewood song – by Christy Moore
Kilburn Towers – the Bee Gees
Queens Park Rangers by The Loftus Roadrunners from 1977- The best football song ever written IMHO and a great video to go with it:

One thing worth noting about DIY type mitre boxes is that the gap for the saw blade can be quite wide for a hacksaw, which could lead to an inaccurate cut.

I have an X Tools saw guide just like the one here:

Looks exactly like McMoonter’s one on ebay which is £2 cheaper. Works very well.

If you’re in the Holborn area then Condor Cycles is close:

Silicone lubricant, as mentioned above.

I use this £3.99 silicone spray after suffering the same problem on my Passat:

For best results make sure seals and mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying. To stop it from going where it shouldn’t, spray onto a rag and wipe onto the rubber seals. Job done.

Abus WA50 for the budget wall anchor option.

Well reviewed:

…and currently a very reasonable £9.07 on Amazon:

Hi Sui, I renewed my Italain passport a couple of months ago and was initially in the same position as Mrs Sui, ie trip coming up and no appointments on the consulate’s online booking system until months after my date of departure. However kept logging on and checking availability until a cancellation came up. It was within a week and I was in. Early morning appointment and new biometric passport ready within a hour and a half. System appears to be much more efficient than previous experiences (at London consulate).

Cancellations do come up on the system as the penalty for a no-show is being blocked from making a new appointment for a considerable period of time. You do have to be persistent with checking and snap up anything that becomes available immediately, or it’ll be gone.

I have a medium Superlight frame with BBB Sidecage 2 water bottle cage holding the smaller Camelback Podium 610ml water bottle, mounted in the centre of the frame. It’s snug but it all works okay under the shock etc. Side entry bottle cage is the way to go and whichever you get make sure the rear of the cage ie the bottle base area does not foul the suspension workings. Not the greatest design if you need a water bottle but it is possible. Hope this helps.

Nice one rOcKeTdOg!

What about Avon’s Skin So Soft dry body oil spray:

Haven’t tried it myself but if it’s good enough for the Royal Marines…
