you can a shit one for a few quid...made outta alloy where you will fuck the slots on it while trying to make it tight.....or spend a fiver on dura ace steel....which is what i would have done.....and it will go from frame to frame and hub to hub

Get a good one or you'll spend the money you saved on plasters for your knuckles every time you try and tighten the shitty one. And then you'll have to buy another shitty one, then repeat the whole process again :p

Go here - they're good people, fast, friendly, independent and efficient.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
