Any question answered...

You have changed Mrak... ;)

Anyone know what the beefier versions of Brenton bolts are called? Pic of a normal Brenton bolt attached. I’ve got a pair of those on my council garage door. The bolts go straight into the concrete frame. They’re a bit crap because you can just lever the bolt bit open with a bar and slide it past the padlock.

I’ve got some monster size versions with 25mm bolts that I got from a locksmith, where the bolt and the body both have welded on loops and are far more secure. They are waaaay too big for my garage door though. Looking for something more secure than a normal Brenton with a 12-13mm bolt, ideally so I can enlarge the existing holes in the concrete frame with a battery drill because the garage isn’t near the house to get power there.

Would normally just go to a locksmith but I can’t currently go to shops because of medical shielding.

This is the more secure version I mean. Used with a disc padlock or one with a concealed clasp, you can’t get bolt croppers on them.

High security pad bolt?

This, perhaps? https://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/product/heavy-duty-padlock-bolt-300mm-galvanised-steel-914929

Works. Cheers!

Weird times for everyone, Beags.

What options do I have for a -17 or -12 degree 130mm stem? I know there’s Zipp and 3t, but what else is there?

@umop3pisdn

What type of leather, shiny or suede? Clothing or furniture? Get warm water and a little Fairy washing up liquid or similar and use a cotton wool bud and dab a little at a time. Keep the bud clean and change frequently. Don't get it too wet as it may leave tide marks. I've just done the arm of a suede chair - bike grease. It worked but you can't rush it.

I was going to say Ritchey, Deda or Pro but I don't seem to be able to find any evidence to back that up

Pro Vibe has been made in that size, not sure if it still is.
Kalloy 19AP, some ebay sellers have stock at around £20 direct from Taiwan

Deda

Only the Vinci is current product in -17, and it's weird and expensive

Possibly wet / baby wipes as an alternative to cotton buds, might be easier to 'feather' the edges if it's suede, and you'll probably need to feed it if it's not.

Ritchey

WCS C220 73D if you want conventional, WCS or Comp 4-axis-44 73D if you don't mind shimming down a 1.25" stem,

I reckon my Ritchey stems are loads stiffer than 3T

Agreed

Thanks all

There's not exactly much wood left to stop that being pulled open. Or protection for the padlock if it was set vertical into the concrete

Who's making the lufuguss patches? I've UTFS but had no joy finding the culprit...

What's the go-to budget brand of single speed cogs for cassettes?

(16 tooth on a shimano 10 speed cassette)

Basically the cheapest option that won't chew the fuck out of my cassette.

Cheers.

Yeah, I should probably have one too.

Also, I have this watch but the numbers on the bezel really bug me and are functionally pointless.

Can anyone remove them for me (or recommend a sensible way to do it)?

Pretty sure I can pop the bezel off.
