guilty as charged, i'm just lazy about retensioning my chain. although the pain of snapped locknuts is becoming a much greater pain.

I bought one in Condor, they charged me a quid - seemed reasonable!

london however is quite the mission from newcastle just for a locknut, regardless of my desperation.

I went into my local bike shop with my wheel and said do you have any nuts to fits this thread. He produced a pack of 2 beefy ones for 2.50 this is in a village outside of leeds so if I can get lucky first time it can't be that hard!

Malaysian but in the days of the internet many people forget about popping into the LBS.

several failed attempts at various shops has pointed me to the internet.

i'm guilty of net shopping but i've recently started trying to send business his way, he's a mile away and seems an alright guy. Upmarket shop, generally a bit more expensive than the web, so still get pricey stuff online. I build my own bikes but its handy to have someone with all the tools and know how near by that's willing to help if i need it.

SUPPORT YOUR LBS!

should get that printed on a tshirt

if not, chain reaction seem to have everything under the sun, free next day delivery and helpful customer service. parker international are good too but £3.95 for postage!!! regardless!

I certainly bajesus mine, I use a high quality ring spanner and stand on it!

I tighten them enough that my wheel won't move forward on a hard start.
I use a Jethro Tule so only have about 5-10cm of leverage on the nuts.
If you're doing shit like jumping on 10" wrenches to tighten your tracknuts you're probably going too far.

Why? Are you a girly man? Or are you producing 2000W?

I produce 2000W and yet am still in touch with my feminine side. That is why the ladies are all over me.

I'm not talking about your vibrator, I meant your legs.

oh sorry, assumed you mean't the vibrator. It is a good one though, good enough to turn you.
