Any question answered...

"PDO – Delivery Office. A local Royal Mail office where the item has been delivered from."

Likely to be the district sorting office: if you ask in your Post Office (or your postie), no doubt they can tell you.

Call them up and ask... they'll give you the postcode and everything.

Where can I pick up one of these in London that isn't the Lee Valley?

Edit: Condor to the rescue.

There's one heck of a bodge of this in the disc brake thread.

Here?

Received a parcel from the US, -arrived today and it has a big fat custom charges sticker on it however I have the parcel already... should I pay it or have Royal Mail messed up? Will they hunt me down if I don't??

I have the parcel already

Delete your post and deny all knowledge if anybody asks.

Go to the sorting office with proof of ID, address and a note of the tracking number

My local office says they can only arrange another delivery attempt if you don't have the card.

what is WEST PDO?

I think it's the Parcel Force depot at Concord Road W3 0TH

They tend to send repeated letters if they want money

Got back from two weeks away, turn on the old Macbook, load Firefox...

What did I miss?

No idea, but did you see my PM?

You'll get an invoice in the post if the fees are outstanding but they may have been charged back to the sender... Do you know the shipping terms?

Haven't received any letters so far. There is a message on the label which says do not deliver until fees have been paid so I feel Royal Mail may have fucked up. No reason why they'd charge the sender either. Will keep an eye out

Who was this?

It's everyone who's had their account wiped: they all then get merged into one account "@deleted".

#AFAIK

Ah, I see. That's kinda sad. So wiped means unattributed I guess.

Just leave the cassette on and shorten the chain.

no cassette at the moment

and annoyingly i recently binned some old cassettes that had been loitering around with no apparent potential use

is this any good?

Ish, but pick up the generic from your local Evans for 50p more rather than exposing yourself to the clusterfuck which is Winstanleys.

So my front wheel is still juddering under braking. It's only this wheel that does it. I've tried toeing in the pads, not toeing in the pads. Cleaning the brake tracks. Brand new pads. Still no joy

Could it be the hubs? It's one of these:

The caps feel a bit loose, I can tilt them etc. But when its all compressed with the skewer I can't detect any play. Are the caps supposed to be a bit loose when the wheel isn't mounted?

Headset?

Why would the headset react differently to other wheels?
