• Top tip. When bleeding Shimano hydraulic road brakes, always make sure you've removed the stopper from the bleed funnel before trying to push fluid from the caliper to the brake lever.

    If the fluid doesn't seem to be shifting, check the stopper rather than just pushing harder and harder on the syringe full of mineral oil.

    On an entirely unrelated note, if anyone has any tips for removing pink mineral oil from a white living room ceiling, I'm all ears.

    See if any of the clerks know their way around a paint roller?

  • Not as well as I do, I suspect. When you've spent 6 12-hour days straight painting 8'x4' boards the same colour of slightly not white, you know how to handle a paint roller.

    Happily, doing my finest Zebedee impression with a big bunch of blue paper in one hand seems to have done the trick. Compared to the kitchen ceiling, it's looking mint.
