Nice one. Glad it felt better for you.
This tool is super handy if you are worried about Torque settings. I got one I found on the floor at a trail center and its really good. Although you sound like you have something similar.

This looks great. There's an XS too but I don't believe it will fit a wheel nut.

Exactly what I had in mind, might have to get myself one

this spanner is for my brake nuts, not my axel nuts, that little plier spanner looks cute.
can i use a non narrow wide chain ring for a road bike with a clutch rear mech? should be fine? biggest bump it's going to take is a kerb
they're 130 bcd and finding a 38t narrow wide chainring is hard/ expensive for the fractional gain it will give me over 42, but also the idea of buying a bb, bolts and ring, swapping it all on the 110 cranks i have is too much time/effort/money , although would allow me to use a 34t
the other option is buying ANOTHER 104 mtb crank, spacers and a 30t ring and have the same, ideal set up on all my bikes

You can run a clutch rd without at nw chainring just fine. Just don't downshift more than a couple of gears while coasting.
I've run that setup on my own and my SO's bikes. -

Ha! It helps when you watch it on 1.25x speed. In fact, it’s only when the interviewer talks that you notice it’s sped up.

Me, every time I log on to this forum

I was just about to ask.
Why would you need to adjust those brake nuts while out riding/at all after the initial set up?
Never used Paul brakes before... -

fear of ones own incompetency as a mechanic

its the only way to centre them, the torque on them isnt that high either
same as these tiny allen bolts on CR720

this arrived today - it's really nice? i mean it's a laser cut ring of steel, but the packaging was cute and they sent me an extra soap. all in brown paper with paper tape, tag written in biro. free delivery too.

Go to ebay or Aliexpress for china's finest NW chainrings for your 130 bcd cranks.
You can live without but dropped chains and greasy hands make bike life miserable.
Wrapping your mini adjustable spanner for your wanker brakes in a wanker bandanna
I’m sick
