Any question answered...

That's what I was thinking and then just cutting a 3mm strip off.

It's just that it's a pain to cut strips that small and I assumed that this stuff would exist if the laptop has a full run on both sides of the digitizer :(

See what 3m themselves have

Disc brake cleaner maybe.

I saw a tip on a youtube diy channel about how to cut thin strips of tape that might help?

Find a sheet of glass (if you can), clean it thoroughly to avoid buggering the tape adhesive, lay a strip of tape along the edge overhanging by the width you actually need and then use a sharp stanley knife to cut along the edge of the glass. Gives you a nice, clean, straight edge.

They did it to make narrower strips of masking tape for intricate designs. The idea might be transferable?

The best stuff I have found for removing gluey residue is WD40. Spray it on and leave it a while then wipe off. You're bound to have some at home somewhere.

Cheers for all the suggestions guys.

That works, but there's too much other shit in WD40 to make it my go-to glue residue remover. D-limonene is #tester_approved, followed by isopropanol to clean the d-limonene off because nothing will stick to a surface covered in it.

Don't suppose you have any bright ideas for how to find/make 3M double-sided tape that is padded?

Viking Tapes are my first port of call for special adhesive tapes.

Does anyone know if pelago front racks come with fittings to install on a nutted/track front hub? (No fork eyelets)

Someone posted a few photos of a steel Giant in current projects a while ago. It was being used for CX, vaguely black/ purpley/ pink as I recall. Steel frame and forks, had V's or canti's, SRAM Groupset. The photos were always in a workshop. I have a feeling the person was scandi.

Had forks like this:

but 700c

Anyone remember this bike?

Do you even read?
https://www.pelagobicycles.com/blog/commuterfrontrack

each Commuter rack comes with three different brackets to install either to the top braze-on, fender braze-on below the fork blade or to the wheel axle itself.

Yeah but QR axle are smaller than track and it doesn't stipulate.

Look at the second set of bracket, they have a larger hole.

I know, but is it big enough?

Doesn't look massive...

Good fingerfood. Quite a posh crowd though.

Good & cheap lunch inside the canal ring.

Let me know if you need more! Lived there for a while.

ask them then, but think about the size of an eyelet compared to a QR now think about those two compared to a axle

I think you're right, and that's what I took from the photos, I was just looking for confirmation before dropping £100 on a rack.

Anyone know someone selling a soma Porteur by chance? Or a pelago...

Just email first!

A couple of evenings with a set of files and some sheet metal offcuts and you could have brackets which fit your bike, rather than some Meccano® design which has to fit any bike.

A couple of evenings with some sheet metal and a set of files and I will have a heap of useless metal, metal dust all over the house, blistered palms, a migraine and have had at least 1 trip to minor injuries.

Also, I like meccano.

Been wondering how many gigabytes of memory our bains have... Google says 100,000 terabytes. Seems quite a lot. so why do I keep forgetting which pedal has the opposite screw?

Just always think, tighten towards the front wheel.

That'll probly sort it. Nice one!

pedal backward = tighten.

pedal forward = loosen.

why do I keep forgetting which pedal has the opposite screw?

Possibly because you're trying to remember it as a table with two columns and one row (or one column and two rows), rather than as a picture. @TM 's method works as long as you have the your hand above the pedal spindle. The other way is to remember that if the pedal bearing seizes, the pedal will unscrew. This also works for English BB threads - if the axle and the cup are locked together, the normal rotation of the axle will unscrew the cup from the shell.
