Any question answered...

Hiya, no it's for my sister who will be returning to Bournemouth shortly.

I've come on holiday and developed a rather charming inner ear infection that is effecting my sense of balance. The doctor here has prescribed me with some anti emetics and some other stuff to help with the dizziness; only problem is it has to be delivered as an intra muscular injection I've never done this before neither has Mrs Bobbo. Do I just stick it in a muscle and push the plunger or is there more to it than that?

Inject it in your cock... but make sure you have a wine cooler to hand

Does a White Industries freewheel use a different tool? My normal 4-prong tool seems too big...

Should fit, otherwise remove the lockring first to prevent it from damage.

Thanks mate. Hmmm - only seems to make proper contact on two prongs at once...i'll see what some Googling can turn up

I've got the Cyclo freewheel tool plus Park Tool SPA6 pin spanner if you need it. Based in SE1.

I have this...it should work right? Or am I being stupid?

That's too thin, you need one with thicker pegs. This is the one I have. Riding up East this afternoon and can meet you around London Fields if that helps?

looks like Lfgss but French! Who’s seen this ?

How did you find this!

And yes... it's a new home for the Parisian and French fixed gear folk at the request of their admin whose existing setup kinda died over time (maintaining sites is a long-term chore).

Ah just seen this sorry! Had the in-laws round...
I can make do for now but might hit you up another time that suits you if that's cool in exchange for a beer. I work in SE1 fwiw.
Thanks again,
Joe

Volunteer Tavern.

Thanks.

No probs, family first! Give me a shout anytime this week other than Saturday, can pop by and drop the tools.

Kitchens - anyone used a DIY style - you order all the units, which arrive constructed and you/fitter install? Any advice for great value options or are there great Jan sales deals?

Cheers

I'm installing a glass screen in a wetroom. It's 2000H x 1190W. It'll sit in recessed channels in the wall and floor. Will I also need a wall/ceiling brace for the top corner to mitigate flex?

Yes, I install about 6 a year. Try https://www.diy-kitchens.com/ never had any problem with them the carcasses are bomb proof and good quality. Not sure about sales but their prices are competitive.

Erring on the side of caution I'd say yes but the screen manufacturer should have a helpline that will give you a definitive answer.

I've also used diy-kitchens.com and echo Bobbo's comments. Rally solid, nicely constructed carcasses and very well priced.

How do they compare to IKEA and Wren?

With IKEA the carcasses are ok but they lack some fine tuning especially on wall hung units. Doors etc are ok although I have had a couple of jobs in the last couple of years where I've been asked to make custom shaker or plain doors to go on an IKEA kitchen because the customer was not happy with the finish (there was nothing technically wrong with the doors / drawer fronts just the standard of finish didn't meet the customer's expectations). The plinth boards on IKEA kitchens are shit house, they are just poor quality extruded plastic and are prone to discolouring. Also if you want a guarantee with an IKEA kitchen you need to use their fitters which adds £££ and is a bit of a lottery.

Wren are good but pretty expensive compared to DIY kitchens. I have had issues with their doors etc but they always replace them no questions asked. You used to be able to get their design service (which is "free") and they'd give you the drawings that you could then use to specify other kitchens but unfortunately they've cottoned on to this and will no longer give you the complete drawings.

I’ve not used Wren or Ikea. If you’re not happy working out your own layout and speccing all the cabinets, filler pieces etc, both Ikea and Wren will do this for you. DIY-kitchens are well priced because you need to do all this yourself.
One thing to note about ikea is that their carcasses don’t have a service void at the back for plumbing etc.
If you don’t like Ikea’s doors there are some great companies who make bespoke doors. I don’t have experience but Plykea look nice

What's my cheapest better option for an 11 speed rear mech that will work with an 11 speed slx thumb shifter?
I have £40 on a credit card that I want to use. And ideally it should be that and no more for part and shipping.
