Read your fixie/finger story. Yeugghhh. Friend of mine, new to maintaining fixies did similar. Found himself on his council flat balcony with his finger between rear cog and chain - minced but firmly locked between sharp metal parts. Now get this....with his free hand he reached for an open ended spanner and somehow released the rear spindle from the drop outs, slid the wheel forward to introduce enough slack in the chain to turn the rear wheel with his finger in it and then out of it. Similar pictures of jam on a stick!
oh blimey, that's awful! if it wasn't for the friend who distracted me in the first place, I would've been stuck without any help. In terms of the Sports, I would really like to accept your offer - I shall wait for depps to come back and comment, but hopefully he'll understand the situation I'm in
