Any question answered...

My local Lidl (not Ldn) have been selling them for the last few months. Middle-of-Lild

Anyone bought a custom size picture frame online? Any good or bad experiences?

Drum and Bass / Bassline

Pretty sure I bought one for my niece in Streatham big Sainsbury's.

@jellybaby I used Frame Express for a 69x89cm internal frame. MDF and plexiglass. Quality is ok. Think IKEA style. But obviously a lot more expensive than IKEA because of custom. Came to £90 delivered. Not sure what a proper wood and glass frame would come to but I'm guessing more

I want to hang up bike helmets and panniers in my bike locker. What's the best kind of hook or other solution for attaching to these holes? Potato (large) for scale.

First thought is little buckle straps

Short bungee with hook at both ends.

Yes. Good.

It was a long time ago.

I also bought all the acid free tape shit at the same time.

Perfect

Lfgss.com answer: draw up some custom accessories in f360 and have them 3d printed or machined from aluminium.

alternative answer: measure hole size and buy peg board accessories for that hole dia.

Left field thought is to go to B&M / pound shop / etc. and find a cheap towel hanger. Flip it over, drill holes, then thread a bolt though your door into the towel hanger with some sort of spacer.

Take your panniers as you may get lucky and find a hanger where the pole fits your pannier hooks.

Long shot but anyone regonise this cup and cone, cone from a 2012-14 Islabike cnoc 14?

Bonus for where can I get a replacement?

Islabike's website doesn't have them and waiting on an reply.

Cheers

Think I can picture what you mean - like a towel rail? This is ingenious but also high levels of faff

Pegboard accessories seem to come in a million different standards and rarely sold individually - so far bungee is winning

Measure the axle diameter. 8, 9mm? 10mm if rear wheel?

Good point I forgot to do this.

Note the inbuilt weather shield - which is one of the things that seems to differient this.

Updated. Quite tricky to know where to measure on the cone.

Yeah. Bungie does sound good.

You can also get these stretchy car pocket things that I've screwed into one of my shed doors to hold stuff. Would still require a bolt and washer set up tho, but could be useful for other stuff.

Stealing this idea for my allotment shed, thank you very much

What about a wooden board on the outside attached with screws/washers on the inside four corners, then you can screw big hooks straight into the wood through the holes?

You may have a long wait.
I think Islabikes ceased trading not so long ago.

Islabikes ceased trading

They ceased bike manufacturing, they're still open for spares support

Yeah that's what I thought.

The bigger issue I suspect is that the hubs will be some random cheap ones which, although, light and handily designed to be serviced, weren't expecting to provide replacement parts.

There are some similar shimano ones. But give how many models there are I'm not confident about identifying the compatible one....or the cost.

They're clean and repacked, so once my cone spanners arrive and I can tighten them, I'm sure they'll be sufficient for a small child. But it would be nice if they had zero indexing.

Ta for the correction.

China town. Most supermarkets will have tapioca pearls etc.

Although these look promising....

At the very least providing a new search term.

The three relevant measurement are thread, ball diameter and ball count. As long as those match, everything else is in the adjustment, and maybe shimming to get the OLN close enough. You're probably going to have to live without the shield.
