Any question answered...

Well, maybe, but Im just drawing on my own experince. I've found my leather gloves (gripp) have definitely stretched.

Until you gently hand wash them and they become XXXXS instead of XXXL.

Go snug. There's a risk you may lose weight and lament needing to buy everything again.

Also, race-fit = aeroz.

It's true I do plan to lose a couple of stone off my hands

So we recently hired a car in Malta, booked through Atlaschoice and fulfilled through GoldCar. We received pretty shocking service from start to finish, including sneakily charging an extra 150 euros as well as providing a car that had to be taken away after two days to have both the clutch and brakes replaced.

I have lodged complaints with both Atlaschoice and GoldCar, but looking across the net, it seems that lots of people have had issues and have never got their money back.

Is there anything I can do to get my money back? Both the initial booking and added charges were done on Mastercard.

I assume that http://bike.shimano.com/content/sac-bike/en/home/components11/road/1051/cs-5800.html will go on http://v-sprint.com/product/carbon-alloy-wheels/road-wheels/sportive-road-wheels/ or http://v-sprint.com/product/carbon-alloy-wheels/road-wheels/sportive-road-wheels-pro/ just fine. Am I right?

Also, what's the difference between the two wheels? Just the bearings? if so, how much better is the pro likely to be over the standard?

Best consider the gloves you buy, then.

Anyone can tell me what the various options for controlling a single brake caliper with both road levers are?

Chargeback from your credit card provider. Keep at them. Be prepared to take them to court for a claim in contract or sale of goods.

where can I buy large quantities of cheap cake, loads of sponge, or lots of scones. Is there a bulk bakery sale place in London? quality is not a concern, quantity is...

Narrowest they do is a 38mm strip for 50mm (Rabbit Hole) rims. Black/White/Red/Blue/Orange.

Other option is to fit some pretty duct tape under a plain rim strip. Stans do a "Downhill" rim strip (with valve obvs) for 36-39mm widths.

I have that problem solvers thingy on my fixie, it works fine.

So I bought pair Spline 32 db wheels, need to convert rear to QR and wheels have all end caps you need.
Do I need new axle for QR or is it just plain end caps change?
Also what Tester approved toll for centre lock rotors lock ring? Something like Parktool spanner or Lezine socket BB tool?

so much this, have been using one for 5 or 6 years now.

iirc @General_Lucifer and I fitted it one night in a rather drunken state and it's still going strong

Ha ha! Up till 3.30 am, drank whole bottle of single malt. A right fucking mess! It was a sweet little device though. @dancing james and I were not at our best next day...

Any one in France (or can speak French and phone France for pennies) willing to phone Tam Surplus and ask them when they're going to send the boots I ordered two weeks ago?

Yeah? Can I see a pic of it installed? Its a hell of a lot cheaper than the problem solver ones, and appearts to be somewhat sleeker too

@Howard has just installed one on my bike for a two lever, one brake solution, can take a pic of it later when I'm on my way home.

It's small and beautifully formed :)

Yeah would like that. Thanks
