Did you see the "City of Lincoln" the other day, or either the P-51 or Spitfire?

Fishing line fed through the outer, killick hitch on the cable and pull it through rather than push it through.We haven't actually managed to get that far yet...
He'd been trying to work out how to get the rather crimped cable back into the outer.
No experience with v-brakes here, but cantis, the biggie is the cable tension on the actual caliper - the bit that goes through the hooked hanger doodad at the end of the brake cable. A couple of mm either way can make such a BIG difference.

To appease the complaints I've had from son no. 2 for the past five years about selling one of his bikes, we 'bought' it back this evening. Although in reality the family we sold it to kindly donated a now slightly-damaged bike to us. What's he complained about me selling five years ago?
Not the Campag Record-equipped Argon Krypton - oh, no. That's floating about the same club in Leeds we picked this bike up from.
Not his rare Avanti Pista lime green track bike - nope. That went to London.
Not his original Cervelo S3 - not that. Again, it went to London to a rider who's starting the Tour of Britain tomorrow.
But a single-speed conversion of a 24"-wheeled kid's bike!

The nightmare for us Londoners is when family or friends visit and want to ''do the town.'' We spend most of our time in an intricate web of overlapping villages of variable geography. Though the touristy bits are far more bearable when approached by bike because you seem to arrive without having had to go through the rigmarole of getting there.

Yeah, don't I know it...
I always tended to take the bus rather than the tube, as it's nice to just kick back and watch the world go by.
And not just variable geography. The flavour of the world without actually having to travel.

I ave to admit my main interest in London is usually the next train to York; or Paris...

Tinybug has heard that there are double decker buses in the UK, so that's #1 on her "to do" list. Fortunately there's a York-Scarborough service.

Much fun to be had on a Boris Bike, too 😉👍

You need to take her on a heritage route which runs the old Routemasters
On York-Scarborough that would take nearly a week...

Yebbut, the trouble with travelling on one of those, is that we'd end up in Leeds.
