North Drinks. Every Week, Wednesday 6pm - The Maynard N8

This did it. What you forgot to mention though is to not undo the allen bolt all the way, just a couple of turns on it. Worked great. No need for the wrenchy thing.

Forgot to mention?
It was 23:23 and you were disassembling your headset to get your stem out.
I think you forgot to get your google out. blows raspberry

P!MP that would be nice. Though would you mind brining whole calipers? I've tried to look at my caliper and see how I could change the nut but I think I'd have to disasemble the whole thing and I'm not sure I'd be able to get it back together in working condition.
Fixing Bolt is the name I've heard of.

I tried dis-assembling a front caliper to put in a longer bolt but after reassembling it never seemed to work properly :-( Okay will bring along whatever I have got here.

This is true, I got Sheldon Brown on the line instead and from what I can remember of what he told me last night is that he did not mention this either. Which might indicate that it should be obivous, only it wasn't. To me at least.

Thank you. Much appreciated.
This means I'll at least come up to drinks for a little bit. Goodie.

@MaxW: Just had a dig round outside(Fuck! it's cold) only have rear calipers here at home, but have 2 back nuts. one is 12mm overall length the other is 15mm overall length. All my front calipers must be at work in my parts box there. Will be back at work tomorrow so if either of those are no good I can see if I have anything there, can always walk it round to you as you are only 5 mins away.

Max if your stem is seized cover it in grease and bang it down into the bike before pulling it out. also don't over work it in one go. as it heats it expands and siezes a little more.

If you don't mind bringing those nuts I'll gladly have a look at them. If that doesn't work we'll go from there :)
Thanks

I am lucky. I never had an attention span to lose. Anyway, get on with your work so you can come up for a beer tonight. ;)

And your missing it?

Sorry, I have never made through more than 30 seconds of a Radiohead song before being carted off in a ambulence for trying any means posible to end my own life. SOMEONE PLEASE SHUT THOM YORK UP, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEAEWDD)JFAPKDFA>..................

hmmmm sounds like a good turn out tonight.....still trying to convince PigFarmer to come out but what with him living the 'Life of Reilly' in dubai for holidays, reckon he thinks he may be too good to meet up with us now he's gone all posh!!! ;)

Posh is the name of the game up in Highgate though. He'll feel right at home.

See you at the Lamb in about an hour for a nice roll up to the Flask. Leaving at 7 so we dont get to north drinks too late.

See you at The Lamb in a bit.
