does anyone have a dirty harry lever for sale? doesn't have to be in great shape, the cheaper the better. thanks

appreciate this is a great request but does anyone have an angle grinder or even a pair of croppers i could borrow?

locked my bike up and the key broke in the lock.

What do you need to get through?

And are you near a plug socket?

need to get through a d-lock, and yeah i can probably use a university plug socket.

Have a spare key? If yes then try using a pair of tweezers and pull the broken bit out. Done it quite a few times saving hapless housemates.

Yep got a spare key, already tried that but will give it another go.

Try magnets too, I have an angle grinder but no cutting disc you could try the thick grinding wheel that's on it, would probably make lots of pretty sparks. You could also try a hammer if it's a shit d lock or a jack if it's a better one. Alternatively, as it's by the uni, wait for it to get stolen then jump the thief.

thanks mate. could i ask what diameter your angle grinder is? might be able to get hold of a metal cutting disc.

Just call the fire brigade or uni security, explain, show them the broken key stub and some photos of you and your bike, look ike you're near tears, they'll whip their tools out in no time hur hur

Seriously though, they have access to cutting equipment and don't mind helping people out.

Yeah, try them first, I'd have to check my basement when I get home to tell you the size, I'd guess at medium.

Unfortunately uni security only have croppers. Their advice to me was to obtain the most powerful tools i could and then have a crack at it.

Not sure how cooperative the fire brigade would be, don't want to waste their time.

cheers for the advice though, such an inconvenience purely because of a broken key.

Ask the sexy firemen.

Aaaaanyone got an 18T Freewheel, something a bit nicer than the shitty dicta ones for cheaper than Chain Reaction want at £20?

Steal the one I left for Lily at popup, then get beaten up by Lily.

Or just cycle away, she won't have her freewheel after all.....
