Ah fair, I don't own a car so wasn't really sure how much it might need

It's clear, no colour. Be like new.

It will have connectors most likely. EBay it

I could but it's got electrics going into it so I'm not that confident. Maybe some YouTube/ebay action is required.

I replaced mine a while back. Once I'd figured out how to get the the door panel off the inside (like you say, there will be a YouTube video), the rest of the job was simple. It was just bolts and push connectors. Photograph it as you go along.

Keep an eye out for a complete unit on eBay etc and you won't need to dismantle anything.

Would cranks for a press fit bb also fit a BSA external BB? Or are the widths different?

You should be able to get appropriate BSC threaded cups for almost any crank except true BB30[A] types

Thanks!

I have some blinds where the fabric is stuck on a velcro strip. All the rest are fine but I have one blind where the velcro strip keeps coming away from the metal body of the blind. Have tried replacing the velcro strip, sticking the velcro back on with some double sided tape (the 3M VHB stuff) and sticking it back up with some UHU glue, all of which have eventually failed (in between these various tries I've cleaned the metal body off).

Any suggestions on what to do to properly sort it?

Ikea Tertial works for me.

Got any pictures?

Just had the same problem, Araldite on the back of the velcro worked.

The quick release on this DA calliper doesn’t want to flip all the way down, I loosened the Allen bolt on the front but the cable clamp still won’t rotate freely. Any ideas?

Don't use a brake for a TT anyway 👍

(Sorry no helpful answer)

'Sticks like sh*t' adhesive from Screwfix is incredible and will definitely permanently stick that.
Handy stuff to have a tube of for various repairs.

Maybe I didn’t explain it. The contract was written in such a way that they’d pay double unless I received prompt payment, by stating my day rate was 2x but would be reduced to x if paid on time.

There was no intention to be paid double but the accounting team were known pisstakers so it was a simple way to encourage them not to be. I made the call to HR so as to ensure I got paid at all and to not burn bridges.

I was under the impression that this was quite common. Maybe I just worked with arseholes.

Freelance proctologist?

Release the pinch bolt, apply wd40 to the hinge plate, open and close until it’s worked loose, re-clamp cable. If that doesn’t work, loosen cable pinch bolt, apply wd40 to hinge, use a good Allen key to loosen the bolt holding the hinge plate a bit but not entirely, open and close clamp to work it loose, re-snug bolt, and reinstall cable.

Someone's got to do it.

Thanks - will try tomorrow!

I tried to put a 1 star review on Alpkit/Sonder and it simply wouldn't let me, is this something that the company can try and force people not to put a poor review?

Maybe more effective to post on widely read forums…

Congratulations on your new career in freelance proctology.

Ah cannonballers......
