Any question answered...

Turn on 2FA if you haven't already.

I think the only exemption is council tax, didn't pay it when I was at uni and it seems to still be the case now.

If the bike frame is an RGB monitor then just whack the red and green up to full and you have a yellow frame.

Okay

Need to replace this seat/stem interface as the bolt sheared off. Can't find online. Any help? I'd rather not have to buy a whole seat post for the same of one bolt. Can't drill out bolt during lockdown either.

I'm having trouble seeing what's broken. Do you really mean "sheared off"?

This help? The bolt should go through all 3 parts but I only have a small section left in the cylinder.

You can get the M7×45 bolt from GWR

The broken off stub isn't under any load so it should come out fairly easily if you soak it in PlusGas overnight

If you're stuck and you need the bike urgently, I could send you the nut and bolt from mine, but I'll need it back in the long run.

Thats very kind. I knackered my ankle at the time of the incident so I'm not going to by cycling for a while. I'll buy the bolt and work on getting the stub out.

I do, there are some pictures here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RPuMvyhvHTpIxDmMlcxHeBpQUS-FDtVK?usp=sharing

It's not particularly close to the Typewriter style green, but it's a lovely colour in and of itself, and the green in the link might be close.

What's the best way to buy music online?

To be more specific, I want to buy some albums and tracks from various bands and artists so that I can build some running playlists.

However, I'm struggling to find services that aren't evil (Amazon, Apple, etc) or only hand over a pittance of proceeds (Spotify, Deezer, etc). Is there a downloading service that I should know about that isn't run by money grubbing wankers or do I just have to suck it up and give my hard earned cash to a bunch of shitbags and pretend that I'm "supporting" artists because they'll get about a penny an album?

Bandcamp?

do I just have to suck it up and give my hard earned cash to a bunch of shitbags and pretend that I'm "supporting" artists

If you want to maximise the amount of money going to the artists, you should probably use the cheapest online source despite the evil capitalists behind it, then send actual money to the artists who you think have earned it via their crowd-funding stream.

Yeah, I'm having a mooch around bandcamp. Not finding everyone I want on there but making some progress.

Where can I get a top cap and spacers for a 1 1/4 inch steerer tube?

Getting a click from the rear wheel region once per rotation on my beater.

Sounds a bit like a freehub click, but I can't be sure as it only happens when I'm on the bike and not when I turn the cranks when off it, weirdly.

There's no slipping, it's just a bit annoying.

Wheel is a well used Aksium.
Any ideas what it could be? Knackered freehub?

I've got 1.25" top caps

Spacers are easy to find if you search for "Giant overdrive spacers"

once per rotation

Per rotation of what?

The Earth?

The Earth?

Solar or sidereal day? (Those 3 minutes 56 seconds quickly soon add up...)

The wheel. Similar to when a brake is rubbing, but a different sound. And it happens when the brake is disconnected.

The Earth

lol

Can anyone identify what specific SRAM brakes these are and thus what bleed kit I might need.

Got it written on the side of the lever...

They're all DOT fluid though I think, so presume something like this would do the job
