Any question answered...

I can hopefully save all my music, as that’s on an iPod. Particularly need to save all my DJ mixes. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to save the files from the iPod back onto the computer? I will then put it all straight on Google Drive!

shimano make one with two holes, which would allow you to position it further over. I don't know the part number though soz.

Cheers, but his one has two holes, going to go to a full outer at the weekend. If that's too shit PX do an extra wide one.

I have a steel frameset with a bent rear derailleur hanger - any recommendations on where to get it sorted in London?

Also idea of costs & success rate?

Cross post, but, what’s a Zipp 3000 front trispoke worth? Paint’s worn from brake use but no grooves into surface. Rough price please, no photo til Giro finishes.

di2 frame, non di2 bits? sjs does a cable stop down tube clamp so could run top pull front mech, rear mech could be all outer with stick on cable guides?
anyone .... anyone ... bueller....bueller

I would suggest just using a large adjustable spanner and a bit of brute force, but failing that https://bikefix.co.uk/frame-repairs-0

@PhilDAS (I think, or poss @Scilly.Suffolk) showed me a great way to diy fix this, involving a spare wheel. Worked perfectly for me, had the same problem on a steel bike. Am trying to remember where the thread was...

Depends how bent. I would assume lots of bike shops would have one of those hanger straightener tools - they come free with the Park Tools boxset.

I have one of those straightener tools if you want to borrow it

About 15mm bent.

I don't want to ghetto do it and snap it.

Ideally I want it done by a pro so the bike shifts well.

PM coming

A friend wants me to remove his very frozen right side pedal.
He neglected to grease or oil the threads before installing it a few years ago.
I've only worked on it a little so far with WD40 and a long wrench and mallet, need to locate appropriate cheater bar.
Any hints to ease the process? Heat?

Just read about the opposite, applied cold?

You can take the crank arm off, put it on a solid floor, concrete works best, rag underneath, put the pedal wrench on then apply your full weigh to the wrench in the correct direction. Jump on it if necessary :)

If its the drive side you will need bricks etc to keep the spider off the floor.

Can't quite picture that scenario, you mean with the chainring parallel to the floor or perpendicular?

Chainring would get in the way

Ninja edit solving said problem.

^^ updated for drive side scenario.

perpendicular.

Concrete staircase is your friend.

I've only ever had to do this to crank arms with detachable spiders

that's probably because I don't own any cranks that have integrated spiders. #boastpost ?

I usually find you can apply enough force standing on the tool and the pedal with the bike lent up against a wall and only hurt yourself a bit when it moves.

Thanks guys, taken under advisement...

I don't 'need' a top cap do I?

You don't need an upper bearing cover, you can just slam the stem straight onto the compression ring.
