Any question answered...

Anyone had anything sent to them via Belgium Post (bpost)? Had something apparently sent to me 5 days ago and its still not tracking with the code I've been given. Normal?

Afraid not. That's a 5x20mm and i need a 0.25"x1.25" size.

I appears to be a marine / specialist automotive one. Halfords have 10 & 15 amp but no 1 amp.

It's to replace a blown one in an accessory relay for my motorbike.

It wouldn't be the end of the world if i stuck a 10 amp one in the relay, as the fuse box has a 7.5amp fuse for the whole sub harness but i'd rather not.

i need a 0.25"x1.25" size

Maplin have 2A ¼"×1¼" in stock all over London, looks likely that they'll have 1A in both quick-blow and time-delay too, but you'll have to check for yourself as I haven't got time to go through their whole list checking for you :-)

Didn't think to look for metric size (31mm). It seems they have a 1A in quite a few stores near me...

Cheers.

Best way to remove gunk from cleat screw heads?

You need something with enough of a point to get into the corners. An old flat-head screwdriver small enough to turn freely or a wood screw come to mind.

Marlin spike, if you happen to have one on your pen knife, or a bradawl.

^ &^^ thanks both, in the end I found a bradawl and used that.

RS components in bow or maplins in a box of at least 5 or 10, or a hifi spares shops i may have some for amps depending on the physical size.

What kind of shop sells hair clippers?

I have a weekday off for the first time in a month. I need to cut my hair. I can't be arsed to cycle into town in the rain. I want to find a shop I can walk to. The nearest Booots and Superdrug are two miles away.

Argos

argos or a biggish super market?

I don't think that will work.

I may need a replacement compression ring for my headset (m:part comp) since it appears I've lost mine. Any recommendations of a shop likely to have one kicking around? In other words, who sells m:part stuff and is nice? I'd go to Evans but suspect they may not understand what I'm after. And I originally bought the thing online.

And I did phone Madison to check and no, they don't sell the compression rings on their own so I'll need one out of a parts box.

@Cupcakes bikeplus deep south croydon while not local and I will cycle past 5-6 bike shops to get there really awesome shop

I don't want to give up beer, cos it's very nice, but what I would like is to find a soft drink that is savoury/dry like beer.

How about cold-brew coffee? I like the Sandows stuff.

How do you say;

"is x place the last stop?"

in Spanish?

So far we have been using, ¿esta el último lugar? ¿esta termina a x place? ¿Que est el último lugar?

None of which get the right response first time. "último lugar" seems to do the best, but still requires some back and forth. So does anyone know what a Spanish speaking person would say if they wanted to know what the last stop was?

Cheers.

I think última parada might be more in the right direction, but I'm not sure.

Is there anywhere in London that will stock/be able to get me some spoke washers?

pay children to clean them, foster homes probably have some spare

I see what you did there.

Wheelbuilding thread >>>>

It seems getting 2 winters use out of a GXP BB was quasi-miraculous, and heading into the third I've found my cranks have about 10mm of lateral play in them.

So is there a GXP BSA bottom bracket anywhere between a £20 SRAM and a £70 Hope?

Apparently sugino 75s don't come with crank bolts, and i dont want their bottom bracket. Anywhere i can buy the bolts seperately, or other nice ones that will fit?

How did you not notice the play when there was only 5mm?
