Any question answered...

Thanks, I'll give that a go

Use gpsprune.

Is the ridge/line/join on cheaper made brake tracks standard and no big deal or will they shred pads?

no big deal or will they shred pads?

Both. You'll get accelerated pad wear at first, but the pads win in the long run and flatten out the joint.

Anywhere to buy small quantities/packets of silica gel (or similar desiccant), that isn't Amazon and I can either go to or doesn't charge loads of postage?

Edit: Oh Jessops still exist! I thought they'd closed down. They'll do.

Thanks - not easily, but I can temporarily cannibalise one off the MTB and give it a go I guess!

I'm looking for a handheld vacuum. Can anyone recommend one that isn't a dyson?

I got told off for holding mine with something other than my hands.

I've got this one for about 6 months now, work fine for a 2 bed flat with carpets, no complains.

Why buy hand held when you can have a robot?

Although you do need to make sure there’s no cable end on the floor (lighting cables I’m looking at you) or it will drag it around like a dog with a lead

Why buy hand held when you can have a robot?

If you're going to shit on the floor and forget about it then a robot hoover is the least of your problems.

(But, yes, pets...)

I thought it was drinking from the toilet again.

I have a shitty Microsoft Access database at work which everyone hates.
Shitty in the sense that the user interface looks very 20th century and that mac users like myself must have some expensive Citrix thingie in order to use it.

We are currently looking to migrate the whole thing over to something cloud based with (ideally) web based interface, but retaining all the same fundamental functions such as order forms, various reports etc. From snooping around on the server my impression is that we have combo of Microsoft Access/Oracle/MySQL but I really have no idea.

Any thoughts?

The screws they hold the jockey wheels in a Shimano rear mech - threadlock or grease?

Edit - and what torque?

Any thoughts?

Yes, what is the actual question?

Would this wheel fit the Pashley?

The indra’d made in france rigida says something like 26 1/? ?/8 650 B; and I run a 584 tyre on the rigida rim which SJS says does not fit ^ wheel.

What is it that the thing does.
And more importantly, what do you need it to do.

You can definitely replace Access with some cloud based thing. But you'll probably find if it's a 10yr old app then you've got lots of stuff you don't need any more, and other things it doesn't do that would be useful.

I'd be more inclined to find the product you need then figure out how to get any relevant data from access into that (and/or bin what you don't need). Rather than migrating Access to cloud database and then having a 10yr old app in a shiny wrapper.

Think I know the answer to this but just want to check.

USB chargers seem to quote their output in amps whereas devices have their requirements in watts.

Looking at the one in front of me at the moment, I assume that 5V @ 2.4A translates to 12W so for something with a min requirement of 15W I assume it either needs a charger with a bump in voltage (which you won't get as USB is all 5V?) or the amps?

what is the actual question?

apparently they're

SQL database and tableau?

threadlock or grease?
what torque?

Thread lock, because not much. The thread engagement is very short, so you can't do them up tight enough to hold reliably without threadlock. Park Tools website gives 3-3.5Nm for Shimano pulley bolts

Thank you boss.
