Any question answered...

Thing is they aren't that flat, yet every couple of weeks (it seems) I get the same thing. The rim valve hole is large, but I've used one of those hole reducers.

What's what with Dremels? Need to cut mudguard stays and I think it's time to invest

What's what with Dremels?

3000-2/45 would be my choice if I didn't already have my ancient 395

aldi ones are fine

What cutting discs do people buy for stays? The ones I’ve been using seem quite ineffective

I second Aldi as I bought a cheap and cheerful thing as the dying breath left Woolworths. It's still going strong and mostly used for cutting with this type of cutting discs which are also as cheap as chips.

Mm, yes £15 vs £75 is tempting.

.

Cheap ones in bulk - sufficiently cheap to treat as almost single use. Either I'm getting clumsy in my old age or I've been buying brittle ones for the last few years: most of mine break before they're worn down. Safety glasses are essential...

£15 vs £75 is tempting

Mine is a 2001 model, so £75 should be less than £5 a year for the time you have it. Nobody ever regrets buying good tools.

Can someone suggest a cheaper version of this for @Swiss Chap

Ah cheers, so quick :D

Safety glasses are essential...

Very much this

Safety squints?

a cheaper version of this

Not sure if bicycle rated as it's really an industrial/wheelchair product, but https://www.berghspecialproducts.nl/rolstoel-onderdelen/remkabels-en-kabelsplitters/kabelsplitters/type-adr/A.KABSP.ADR201

TBH, I always thought Jtek was the cheap option give that it's already significantly less than the Problem Solvers one.

Safety squints?

The cutting discs that you'd use for editing mudguard stays etc fragment and fire tiny, very sharp and hot particles into your eye almost every time you use them.

Cheers, I'll look into that!

I've seen the Problem Solvers version as well, but I've also seen some very negative reviews about its durability and ability to actually hold the cables, so - cheap or expensive that one was off the table. I like to keep the one brake I have functional...

My j tek has lasted years

The aftermarket versions are better, but yeah safety goggles regardless.

Why does every helpdesk person I speak to use 'M for Mother' in the phonetic alphabet, but I can't find any online references to its use instead of 'M for Mike'?

Oedipus complex.

No, that's 'O for Oedipus complex'

o, that's 'O for Oedipus complex'

Ah yes. I'm always thinking of one thing but coming up with my mother another.

No, that's 'E for Eedipuss complex'.

I can't find any online references to its use instead of 'M for Mike'?

May have been used briefly by the RAF, although other sources miss the intermediate step between Monkey and Mike
