Plenty of room in the shop!

Torslanda · « **Reply #3976 on:** 11 May, 2014, 08:31:18 pm »

Not any more, there isn't!

Another USBWerk ...

... which will, no doubt, be the perfect cue for the 'missing' one to emerge from its hiding place.

Hmmph.

BTW should have mentioned earlier. Rivnut setters just totally rock!

Campag derailleur barrel adjuster, some gear cables and handlebar tape.

It this like a teenager with black paint? Every surface of the workshop can now have stuff bolted to it.

Torslanda · « **Reply #3981 on:** 12 May, 2014, 09:02:13 am »

No but it does mean that none of the frames I work on now have wobbly bottle cages!

Just a book for a chum's birthday: Cyclisme. Rècits De Courses Longues Distances.

Oh, and if you classify patissérie as cycling stuff (I do) then lots on Saturday.

I ordered a new 105 front mech for one of my bikes the other day. I forgot to close the page, then when I next looked at that particular computer (yesterday morning), I forgot that I'd completed the order and did it again. Bum.

At least it was only a front mech

A rear deraileur to replace the bent one on the raleigh, and some new mitts for me

A horn:

Everyone needs a horn, don't they? And this one matches my saddle, so I had to get it.

Some really nice Lake shoes, mail order, size 42, but unfortunately they're too narrow.

I'm hoping maybe they'll fit Uncle James.

Still struggling to find some good MTB shoes that fit and aren't too many €€€€€

Get yourself some Exustar Sandals, brilliant.

Respect!

(I reckon the Whitby Goths would approve, too!)

I'm not allowed bike horns...

I already have Lake sandals which I love.

I need decent shoes (not boots) for wearing in the velomobile in the cold/rain and then wandering around supermarkets in. When it's too cold for sandals - boots aren't necessary with the VM.

Sort-of unbought a 10€ worth of helicopter tape to secure my rearlight wire along the crossbar. The stuff arrived last week in a plain wee cardboard box and has since disappeared: I reckon it was so light that someone thought it was empty and put it in the trash.

Lake make many shoes in a standard size (quite narrow) and a wide size (quite wide). Perhaps you need to order the wide version. Some website descriptions are not helpful to which version they have.

Ooh, I'd forgotten about that! It is quite steampunk - I'll definitely affix it for the Whitby ride.

It was ebay, remaindered stock I think (only 2 sizes).

The photos showed they were narrow - I failed tol ook properly!

Schwalbe inner tube and some Purple Extreme lube

A horn:

That looks terribly uncomfortable, but does have the advantage that your left leg will make it go PARP! with every pedal revolution

I can achieve much the same thing after a curry ...

Last week my eBay search for SD65 sandals (the black, three-strap ones) finally came up with a tried-but-didn't-fit pair in my size. They arrived this morning, and will be put aside for times of need.
