Any question answered...

Cone and locknut on each side of hub should be "locked" together.

I was just shaking the creases out of a wet shirt just before hanging it up. I shock it too vigerously and hit the ceiling light/shade quite hard and broke the hanger. The light is fine, except it's now really bright!

Why is the light brighter?

you've knocked all the dust off it?
If it is an incandescent bulb it is probably about to fail, done this sort of thing, but don't know why it glows brightly before it fails though

I've got no idea. I almost thought it's because the light was obscured by my flailing clothes, but it definately is brighter.

Dust might be a point. It's one of those cheap white jap lantern things.

you will have damaged the filament, my layman's understanding is this will increase the resistance, so it will burn more brightly, but it is likely to burn out pretty quickly

Decreased resistance caused by shorting one of the turns on the filament, leading to higher current and therefore higher filament temperature, which means faster burn out.

Either that or the shock of nearly busting the light caused an adrenaline surge, opening up your irises and making the light seem brighter.

Who knew.

I shall make preparations to buy a light bulb in the event this one dies.

... so can anyone recommend a light bulb? Something fairly light, and strong (it'll be used on a regular basis). Not too fussed about colour, something bright, but soft would be good.

I know Hope are recommended, but they're a little out of my price range.

I've heard good things...

Actually I think I'll drop Rapha an email. They always have nicely lit photographs.

something bright

Any idea on how to ship something to sweden?

what is Skyrim? I've searched extremetube.com but to no avail....

post, courier, container ship?

Any idea on how to ship something to sweden?

I sent something about the size of a cereal box there using royal mail.

I meant in a cheap-ish way. Someone in Sweden wants my wheels.

I realise that I am probably asking for trouble here, but knowledgeable people of the internet could you please tell me if there is somewhere in west / central London that teaches ballroom dancing that is cheaper than this?

Er, can't you just watch Strictly on eye-player?

I meant in a cheap-ish way. Someone in Sweden wants my wheels.

Use a parcel aggregator like www.parcel2go.com or www.interparcel.com for the cheapest price.

But in my experience, there is now cheap way to ship wheels, i.e. it'll cost close to £50.

I've rounded out a bolt in my ritchey stem. The spec on the proper replacement is seemingly M5 x 18mm, will I die if I replace it with M5 x 15mm instead? I assume there will still be more than enough threads caught on the 15mm to be safe?

Well, nobody's perfect

Has anyone tried peening the rivets on a Brooks saddle? My B17 has several sticking slightly out now and I literally don't have a pair of trousers left without holes! I know that I could probably gently hammer the top of the rivet with a flathead or something underneath but will this damage it?

Try hammering it gently, or send it back to brooks to get them to do it.
