eeehhhh just thought as well... doesn't google have a docs thing now for group collaboration?
Jinx!

Also for group collaboration I have used this in the past, built for purpose:

Why not keep it really simple and use a google document which is shared. You can all edit it.

I am sure all this tension comes from everyone giving up the stuff they love for the new year.

I bet there are loads of lazy unproductive people who don't play the lottery, they may be so lazy they don't go outside.... although the lottery is available on the internet now.

eeehhhh ads - horrible pub coke!? that's the best kind of coke, extra syrup!
I bet you like Sam Smiths coke best too! Urgh!

Bought myself that Park tool today and it worked a treat. Nearly broke my arm off turning the wrench but I did it in the end. Thanks for all the help!

Pistanator Givin up cigs is a piece of piss, it's booze that's harder. Try going to a pub and drinking coke all night!
A tip someone gave me was to get a soda water and lime. It cost nothing or is very cheap and much better than those sickly J20 fake booze things or horrible pub coke.

I think I will buy a load of tools tomorrow and give it a crack. Tools are always useful and I am keen to build up a stock of them. Anyone know if Cavendish cycles stock these? I work near Euston so could pop by?

Again thanks for all the input I will buy tools tomorrow and let you know how I get on. Plus a list of the injuries I will no doubt sustain while trying to hulk hogan this thing off my wheel! Thanks guys!

On closer inspection of the cassette it does appear to have a slightly different smallest cog, thus I will try the whips tomorrow after I bought a pair, thanks all.

I will buy a pair of whips tomorrow and give it a crack.

I don't understand what you mean about hex nuts?

You guys are so fast with the replies I can't keep up!

It is as if the tool I have doesn't quite fit in the hole, i.e. as if the socket is a bit mis-shaped. It does look a little bent.

Ta, I take it you put these in the two holes and twist to remove the lockring?

This could also be true. Is the locknut that black bit with the two holes in it?

If so, can this be removed?

Ta hippy, I will go and purchase some more tools tomorrow. Even if it doesn't work, tools are good!

When you say "main sprockets" do you mean the largest one?

The is the exact one I linked to: http://www.sbrsports.com/471-7646

It looks quite similar to the Park tool, is it not the same thing, but without the pointy bit?

I did some googling on the cassette and found: http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleComponent.aspx?ID=5e034deb-b304-4fd4-beb3-ed597fea7e52&Enum=114

It seems it is an older cassette.

You may be right about the crossthreaded of the hub, could explain the wonk!

I am starting my new year single speed project and have already run into problems, hurrah! I am trying to remove the cassette with what I think is the correct tool: http://www.sbrsports.com/471-7646

Anyway, although the number of grooves appears correct the socket doesn't fit into the the cassette. I think the cassette may be slightly bent, picture below. Does this look bent, and if so, any idea how I can get the the thing off?

RPM [quote]Vinz How do two people live in a studio. Do you not get on each other's nerves?

you're supposed to get in each other's pants..

she's your girlfriend... do we have to spell it out?[/quote]

That aside, they do have a lot of clothes. When me and my better half had a tiny flat I found we were constantly tripping over [her] clutter. I wouldn't share in a studio. If it is two people renting together in london you won't have a problem at all finding a place.

If your other half isn't into cycling then get near a tube. Look for a place where there are transport backups, i.e. multiple tubes for when one stops running. This was why I used to like West Hapstead, tonnes of transport.

Another place to look which is really nice is "Queens Park" - This is really nice.

runcible rakan Dont live in south east london, you'll have to ride up and down the old kent road everyday and thats enough to send you crazy

I strangely quite like riding that bit, nice and flat / straight. Get your speed up. The bus are so irregular and crap that I tend to have the bus lane to myself most mornings. There is also a really nice route up from sydenham to Depford which follows the river / parks, hardly touches a road, brings you out by Depford DLR.

London is such an incredibly diverse place that differences between neighbourhoods you may or may not like occur at street level. My opinion on Ladywell (described above) is actually good, some really nice streets and close to Lewisham for the shops. I am sure there are bad bits too though, I just haven't been there.

New Cross is a bit grotty and I wouldn't live there, however, things are changing there with a number of pubs getting tarted up for us young folk.

Nice parts in SE London in my opinion are Forest Hill, Honor Oak, Brockley and Peckham Rye. The White Stripes played in Brockley recently. Nobody got stabbed ;)

There is some confusion, I don't work with radio. I work at a university as a researcher doing stuff with computers. If you want to come to London or the UK without a working visa then a student visa associated with a MSc it is a good way into the UK job market. I suspect it is far easier applying for jobs in London with a uk qualification than without one, plus some courses offer placements which get you an inside track into work opportunities. Sorry for the confusion.

No I work for a university. An MSc is a Masters in Science, they do these in lots of subjects. E.g. MSc in Biology etc. You can also do MA too which are Masters in Arts, e.g. MA in English.

Brooklyn Jack Crank [quote]ads Yeah I think that is the rule, however to be enforced a company would only be called on not following it, i.e. if there was some sort of discrimination claim by someone who was interviewed. In academia where I work most if not all jobs are advertised on jobs.ac.uk which is considered an international/EU advertisement. If I advertised a job in the Metro (i.e. UK) and only had foreign migrants apply, I would probably have to re-advertise on an EU based site. You have to be able to show that there is nobody in the UK or EU suitable for the job. At UCL where I work as it is a large organisation we follow the letter of the law, however smaller companies may not.

And there in lies the kicker. Currently I work in radio and in a warehouse. I have former experience as a production assistant on film shoots and for an industrials company.[/quote]

Yes the main problem with radio and anything media related is that it is a very popular career, thus lots of UK applications. We have advertised a number of programmer positions with a reasonably specialised skill set and the only applicants were from outside the EU. Just depends on the demand for a particular career. I think there are options after you complete an MSc (Student visa) to extend this for a year post doing a course for work.
