Any question answered...

You can buy one of each as different medications and overdose via the self service tills?

In short your supermarket want mildly smart people who don't mind how they swallow death to die.

just so I don’t have to lug a frame to an lbs every time I want a bb prepped.

How often is that?

Any answer questioned thread>>>>

How easy is it to take a pair of used (only about 6 months max commuting) tyres (used tubes) and use them on a tubeless wheelset?
Will they kill me?

Are they tubeless ready tyres? If so then no likely death.

Nope.
Hyper voyagers. I could move some tyres around the bikes and ride my cross bike a bit more with guards on.

Late night brain farting before I go to bed....

What will have the better braking - chrome rims or unmachined painted aluminium rims?
I assume the paint will wear off in a week and the alloy ones will be better?

Chrome plated in the dry. It should last for ages.
Alloy in the wet once the paint has worn off. I'd suggest accelerating this process with some variety of abrasive.

I’m about to buy a new bike! Yay.
It will have gears! Not so yay!
I’ve recently had tennis elbow, which means I’ve now had tennis elbow in both arms (neither injury was caused playing tennis; one was triggered by pouring cups of tea during the Dunwich Dynamo). Both were fixed with injections, though obviously I now have a weakness.

I usually ride with straight bars but google tells me that drops possibly would be best for long rides.

Anyone had similar injuries? Drops or straight bars? (And how long will it take me to get used to drops?)

Thanks for any input.

If you already have straight bars on your bike I'd try some swept back bars like Soma Clarence, On-One OG, Humpert Aerowing et al., should relieve your arms of pressure

What tool(s) do I need to remove these cranks (Vision track chainset) and will it/they have come with it?

Most British injury on record.

What tool(s) do I need to remove these cranks

An Allen key, probably 10mm. Don't attempt to move the ring with 6 holes in it, that's the retainer for the self-extractor bolt which you're going to turn with the Allen key. Once the NDS crank with it's preload wave washer and spacers are off, the rest should just slide out of the bearings from the DS, although you might have to give it a little tap with a soft faced mallet.

Thanks for the reply. The last picture was so poor it didn't really show the inside of the spindle but it looks like this, which made me think another tool may be necessary:

Nah, it's just a double hex like the rotor bolt on Shimano freehubs. On the hubs it's necessary to provide clearance for the axle, on the cranks there's no real need for it.

No other tool required. 10mm allen key to remove it, 10mm allen key to install it. Nice and simple.

Thanks both. That did the trick. Though the drive side is proving very stubborn, and I don't have a BB tool for the FSA BB, so I'm not out of the woods yet.

How did local government / the council come to own Victorian terraces in London?

Maybe during slum clearances? Totally guessing with no idea, but there might have been some compulsory purchasing in return for new housing in council blocks?

Good question; and how did they all go?

That one's easier - Thatcher.

The landlady at the pub I used to work in bought a Victorian town house off Islington council in the 1980s after Right to Buy. She's probably a property millionaire now. And she was pretty pro-Thatcher for a woman from Tipperary.

Complete guess but bomb damaged areas might might have been bought up.

Slum landlords being kicked / bought out another possibility.

Westminster manages a bunch of them near us.

i don't know how hand position relates to tennis elbow but for relief of pressure on ulnar nerve bars with good sweep angles - think e.g. jones bars are recommended
