Any question answered...

I'm not convinced that I understand the issue here, but try giving Clerkenwell Screws a call. 0208 405 1215. They do not have a website, to the best of my knowledge. But they know their shit when it comes to threaded fasteners.

Could check at work tomorrow.

Thanks and v kind of you to offer! Sorry if you’ve been hunting around already but i think I’ve found some.. fingers crossed :)

Lost a tiny screw

The fixing screw?

Yep.

Yep

OK, just making sure I knew exactly what it was you were never going to find 🙂

I don't even know what 1/32" is, unless they had custom screws made which just makes it worse, but the nearest thing to a 1/32" major diameter thread in regular use is #000-120 (actually just over 1/32"). You'll be lucky to find one at all in the UK, if you do it will be expensive per unit, and most likely you'll have to buy 100.

TL;DR: Get Wolftooth to send you one, that way you know it will fit and it will be cheaper.

Underrated comment

It is not a 1/32 screw, most likely american #1-32 screw .
Good luck with getting one

#1-32

If such a thing existed, the lead angle would be so steep (about 7.5°) that it would never stay put. #1-64 is the standard coarse pitch.

Surely 1/32 is 32 threads-per-inch? Although that doesn’t seem to be commonly combined with 1/8” diameter.

1/8" is more likely to be the length (~3mm). It was a very small screw.

That's not how it's usually written. The smallest common screw that has 32tpi is a #6, which has a major diameter of 0.138" (that's 3.5mm for remoaners🙂)

My office is refurbing the shower/changing rooms and we've been asked for suggestions.

The space is way too small but realistically we're not going to get anywhere bigger. There are a couple of shower cubicles but the rest of it is more like a dog-legged corridor that's only about 5 foot wide.

On average there are about half a dozen people cycling/running in each day and using the showers, getting changed plus others using it at lunchtime after a jog, etc.

Any suggestions on what to put in there to make the best use of space? The best way to dry towels, store/dry mucky/wet cycling gear plus clean clothes, shoes, etc.

Locking lockers aren't required but somewhere to store a bit of stuff would be useful.

Cheers

Any domain people here? I've got a moderately high value domain I'd like to sell. Where's the best place to do that. The last time I did something similar I used Sedo if I recall which was OK - where's a solid balance of low fee + broad, safe net to cast?

If no lockers are required I'd say look up for your storage solutions. My main complaint in pool/change areas is not enough places to hang wet stuff; hooks are okay but bars are obviously much better for airflow. Steel mesh for shelving. Safe flooring is critical as well.

is there a bagmakers section of the forum?
I have a chrome backpack that needs a couple of repairs. can anyone recommend somewhere?

is this true?
i guess you're london based?

Yea I have the machines but no not London based. Lots of (London) folk have had bags/pouches/etc that I’ve made from scratch, and a few guys have had repairs done by me.

My ‘workshop in progress’ thread is a bit out of date. Was under the weather and haven’t updated with anything for a few months.

Thinking of drilling and tapping my shimano m525 front hub to take a grease nipple... Any reason why I shouldn’t?

Seems a bit unnecessary.

Doesn't even need to have a nipple - a mate just drilled a hole and tapped it for an M3 screw; on another bike he just drilled the hole and uses a couple of turns of alu tape to cover it up. He tops up the grease once or twice a year with a mini grease gun - it has a pointy enough nozzle to make an ok seal on the hole.

Does it seem more, or less unnecessary if I have 50+ bikes with the same hubs that could all do with periodic greasing 😅? /sounds a bit sarky, not trying to be

Interesting, thanks!
