Brompton Service on Monday

[srw]

I doubt the workers are being overpaid - the overpayment is going to "the man"

Are you suggesting that joggsy would use an exploitative gouging LBS? Tush, man. That's an allegation so low as to be unworthy even of the hated MSM.

A stout piece of PVC will work for headsets coming off, and a long threaded rod with a couple of large washers and nuts will allow you to reinstall one. As my dad used to say....never use force, get a bigger hammer.

I had an uncle who used to swear bound that when using screws with wood, the screw driver was purely for removal, and correct tool for putting in a screw was a hammer

Where I used to live near the shipyards a hammer was a" Clydebank Screwdriver".

My dad used to say "flat tyre? Ask the bike shop."

At the risk of too recent repeating, maybe time to re-post the three rules of engineering.

1 Always use the right tool for the job
2 The right tool for any job is a hammer
3 Any tool can be used as a hammer

Just had the brommie out for a little jaunt, a lot better than it was. So happy enough.

It's time I got a tattoo. How do you think this would be as a tramp stamp?

Kind of wordy.

Get it done in gothic script around a panther's head the size of a volleyball, between your shoulder blades.

Much classier.

 

[jefmcg]

Much classier.

thank you. Anything with a panther's head is obviously classy.

It'll be a smash at the Rotary club, you wait and see.

 

[The Jogger]

Another puncture , same wheel, marathon tyres , only second time out on it since service, I'm starting to wonder did they fix the last puncture properly or just replace the tube. In Itchenor waiting to be picked up

 

[Kell]

Not good. I'd remove and check it all myself if I was you.

 

[The Jogger]

Anybody want to buy a brommie

 

[chris folder]

Hi what model you got for sale?
