Any question answered...

Im just wondering if theres manuals

Of course there are, at Campagnolo.com

can anyone tell me what new size of bearings i need for it

Campagnolo can, it's in the manual. Which is at Campagnolo.com, that place I told you about earlier which hosts the manuals for stuff made by Campagnolo. I know it can seem confusing at first, but if you just remember that manufacturers often share their names with the websites which host all the relevant documentation, a world of possible not wasting our time opens up.

WAC.

i love it.

You'll want a pivot somewhere (even out bumps etc) but probably better to implement nearer the attachment to the bike. You probably need lateral flex too unless you're only cycling in a straight line!

Perfecto!

Will I? I thought about this, but can't visualise quite why it is necessary; in effect I'm just making a longer bike. A tandem doesn't have any lateral flex does it (apart from what is inherent in the frame).

No. But it only has two wheels.

One of the cheapo Samsung mono lasers.

I think so... A tandem only has two wheels and one of them turns to enable the wheels to always rotate forwards. Think about trying to draw a circle with three pens stuck through a ruler, you can probably get two of the lines to match up (so in a bike the wheels would be angled differently, ie. front wheel steering*) but the third will follow a separate path and won't be moving forward but sideways as well.
In bike terms one wheel of your rigid three-wheeler would be skidding around every corner.

*They don't actually follow the same track due to bicycle geometry, leaning and complex curves.

Right. So 3rd wheel = extra contact point with the ground. Triangle vs line. Gotcha.

Yeah that's probably easier to visualise - try and connect three points of a circle with a straight line vs two points.

I considered that, but then they'll be closed when it's midnight, and I've just remembered to print out travel docs... Also I'm a bit wary of data security at the internet cafe kind of places near me.

60 quid, at least while Argos still exists... looks worth a go. Thanks

Loctite 638 high strength compound retaining is probably a bad idea on pressfit bearing outers right? I should look for lower strength?

What do you use to protect di2 cable from turning BB axle? Plastic that was in there has scored crank spindle so looking for something better

Cheapo Samsung B&W laser was what I went for a decade ago, and it's still going. Like all printers, once you have to replace the cartridge it will cost you about the same as the cost of the printer itself (& it usually comes with a half-full one), but if you're not caning it it should last for years with no problems.

Anyone know a tool or plugin to batch remove metadata from .xlsx files?

What's a good services to stop at on the M4 heading out of London? i.e. what is the first decent one?

I've used all of them. I don't even remember them. I treat them all equally... get in and get out asap lest the scourge of normality afflict me.

Thought as much. First one it is.

Theale is big, new-ish (so not so manky) and they’ve a place to walk your dog. If that’s your thing :)
Possibly the first one as well...

what is the first decent one?

It has yet to be built. If you need to stop just out of town there's Tesco just north of J3 with petrol, toilets, café etc.

I've used a macro to do it before. There are probably specific add-ins or programmes that do it but then I'd have had to get IT to install it. This should remove all metadata from files in a folder.
