  • Guess it's always nice to increase my tool collection. Would a cheap angle grinder do it? If so, any recommendations?

    Cheap is good when it comes to angle grinders IME. They're the kind of tools which invariably end up being abused. They're awesomely noisy though, so get the cheapest angle grinder you can, and spend some money on some safety specs and decent ear defenders...

  • Haha, sounds exciting! My plan thus far tomorrow is:

    Get 2 straight pull bladed spokes from my mate's bike shop and also get him to face the Brompton BB shell. I noticed when the Brompton was upside down that it definitely needs it, I guess they weren't expecting people to use external BBs.

    Buy either file(s) or angle grinder.

    Fix the broken spoke on my road bike.

    Chop bits off cranks.

  • Nice. Sounds like a good plan. The only potential improvement I could suggest is buying your own BB chasing and facing set and using that. I have one. It's a very satisfying tool to use.
