Fettling is a dangerous business!

[upsidedown]

I reckon it's spinning the back wheel really fast with the bike upside-down, then sticking your finger inquisitively between the spokes. Like my friend Paul did when we were kids.

Or into the brake disc

Fixed and chain ring incident - hope not

GWS Cyclox!

My personal theory is a 'tool related' injury, eg. slipped with cable cutters or something...

I'll go with cutting down steerer with index finger inside steerer tube holding it steady.

I filed all the noses off my seven action men with such an operation- known afterwards as the noseless batallion.

I'm going for a tyre related injury, maybe she got her finger trapped whilst trying to put an M+ back on

Though nowhere does she mention it was bike related, maybe a hoovering related injury?

Get well soon

I did manage to sand the end of my finger flat using a sander in wood work when i was at school when the wood i was sanding down slipped and my finger went into the rotating disk......

I'll go for airhose getting accidently stuck up his bum..

Interesting theory, how does this result in just a finger injury?

Obviously her ring finger!

After almost taking my finger off last night fettling ...

that's what happens when you don't wear a helmet.

Come on Cyclox you can't say that you spent five hours in A&E without telling us what you actually did and just fettling the bike isn't enough we want the full gory details.

Can't/wont say just yet I'm having too much fun reading the posts..........
