Any question answered...

Are Embassy's and Consulates around the world meant/required to help or look after citizens in trouble? Or is it just for visas and drinks parties?

ps Weber grills are worth it

I thought you were talking about fags initially.

But yes. AFAIK.

Ta both. If I get the packing and tidying done tonight I'll ride it over, otherwise I'll just have to face certain death with a steely resolve.

are weber barbecues worth it?

defo

Yes

are weber barbecues worth it?

Yes, I use one of their barbecues and one of their smokey mountain smokers, both are excellent.

49/19 for around town? Yes or no?

Where can I buy a new connecting pin for CN5701 chain?
I got blank looks in CRC this morning.
Alternatively, which powerlink style connectors does the forum recommend? Sram, Clarks, Missing link etc.

49/19 for around town? Yes or no?

Yes, assuming 700×23-28C. I might be inclined to go to 20T to drop it from high sixties to low sixties.

Cheapest place to buy Paselas?

Will inspect my wrench tonight, but I suspect it has no such features :(

Consular services

if things go wrong the British Embassy is there to help. The help we can provide is limited

Ditto.

cheers for all the barbecue replies, weber certainly come recommended!

Sturmey Archer £14 +P&P @ SJS Cycles Cheap, but unlike Dicta, is removable using a "standard" 4-lug tool.
Token £49.50 @ Hargroves A bit fancier, 2 sealed bearings.

White Industries: 1 good big bearing and they're servicable.
£60 from the States, free shipping worldwide, but you'll need to pay VAT as it's over £18, and the UK deliverer will add a fee (RM £8? PF £12?)
CTBM has them, but 20T is the smallest of the slightly pricier ones, at £82.50 instead of £73.50

Echo do a 20T version of their 72-point TR freewheel, £69 at Tarty Bikes

The cheap SA ones are ok, especially if you dribble some chain lube into them, just don't get a Dicta.

Good call - they are old family friends :)

Already gone through petalon and had to change the order immediately after placing*. Quick and friendly service!

*because I am dim

I've just bought some Easton Attack TT Handlebars second hand. Some of the lacquer has peeled off in a couple of areas (very small bits).

I'm not concerned from an aesthetic point of view, but what's the best way to protect the carbon (or should I not be worried about it?). Could I remove any flaky bits with a blade and re-seal with something? I've seen clear nail varnish mentioned before but not sure how this would affect the stem clamping area.
