These are the two ways you can tell she's a female: First, the thin
antennae; the male would have big bushy ones. Second, the large
distended belly. It's full of eggs. And also full of liquid which the
moth will squirt on you if surprised. Be warned. April 6, 2004.

it fecking stinks too.

Who's the forum champagne person? An importer or something with a family supplier?

@Vince I think...

Now postNL are being asses, so I contacted the coordinating company to see if they can do anything.

The address has been used for fraud several times, hopefully AF gets their behinds in gear.

@Vince

Thanks @Dramatic_Hammer and @Pifko

As others have said, @Vince and his champagne is very nice!

poppin bottles in the ice like a blizzard?

Thanks @Dramatic_Hammer @Pifko @NurseHolliday !

and hello @CYOA

I believe I am the Official Champagne Producer of the forum !

Also proud sponsor of the ThunderTrack II podium Champagne.

I will drop you a PM - essentially my brother & father run the vineyard at home while I helps with international sales and marketing. We have been working hard on being as sustainable as possible (no herbicides or pesticides) and we have recently received IWSC & Decanter Awards for our wines.

I have all bottles in London stocks, from a 1/2 bottle all the way up to a 15 litres Nabuchodonosor/Nebuchadnezzar (equivalent to 20 bottles).

Exactly that.

Thanks Vince, I remember reading a while ago but as ever the forum search function lets everyone down. *cough I jest @Velocio *

I have lost the bolt and plate that hold the brake inner cable to the caliper...

Brakes are Shimano 105 5500 - can anyone think of a bodge (or replacement)?

SJS Cycles.

Probably one of those would work.

But if not... speak to your LBS who may be able to order you a Shimano part.

Actually... SJS have a Shimano brake spares section: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/brake-spares-shimano/

How compressed should a wave washer be?

How compressed should a wave washer be?

How much force do you want applied? It's just a spring. For anti-loosening where the force is not an issue, squash it flat. If it's acting as a bearing preload device or some other specified-force function, refer to the designer's specification.

"Compressed but not flat" is the specification, which suggests a fairly wide range of acceptable values. The application in question is as part of the shim/spacer assembly on a Cannondale Hollowgram axle.

"Compressed but not flat" is the specification, which suggests a fairly wide range of acceptable values.

Aim for half way then :-)

The shims are 0.5mm, suggesting that they expect from zero to 0.5mm compression on the wave washer.

That's not very much at all then.

Would it therefore be logical to believe that the axle is designed to be able to move laterally - i.e. left to right inside the bearings, possibly supported by the use of bearing grease on the axle?

Sorry - compressed but not flattened:

Pardon my ignorance, but does that not say to correctly torque your cranks and so long as the washer isn't flat, you're fine? And if it is, add a shim?
So as long as your cranks are torqued and its not flat, you're right shirley

How do you keep the forum from... doing stuff? For example: I want to make a list with plus symbols in front, bit keeps turning them into bullet points:

• bla
  
• bla
  
• bla
  
  

Should be this:

+
+
+

The backslash usually works as an escape character: so you'd type \+ instead of +:

+ bla
+ bla
+ bla

Three shims - in my view this is insufficiently wavy:

One shim (minimum specified):

Crank bolts always tightened to 40Nm.
