I am not going to the shops.

Oh what a coincidence. Neither am I. :laugh:

I have better things to do in life than standing in queues.

I've tightened up the whirlygig. It was getting a tad slack..

Our laundry will now flap around evenly. ☀
Ahhh man, I broke the plastic pin in mine for locking it in place etc... and now it's staying up until I can fashion a new one.


Are we in need of a domestic sub forum for all our bin news and washing line news?

Mr Amazon arrived this morning with my new cassette & cassette hold tool, no wonder the Aldi one broke I had to get a 18" breaker bar to undo the old one.

I'm not sure exactly how tight 4NM is but it certainly was a lot tighter than that I'm sure

Shouldn't a cassette be tightened to about 45Nm?

If so, I could report that when we moved into this house, the whirlygig was cemented into the ground!
Eventually, I got around to splitting the cement, cleaning up the shaft and making a proper hole so it can be removed when not in use..

Yes, should be 40Nm, or Shimano cassette says that. 4 is less than carbon seat post. Give a whole new meaning to the word, "spiining out" if only done to four!!!!
SO how tight is that, the one tht was on was TIGHT I had to grapple a few times before it released

Yes it's right. When you unlock one to take off you feel a definite crack as it comes loose. I think if you know how things 'feel' going for the resistance you feel with a three inch alan key at 8Nm and feeling that with a 18 inch cassette tool won't see you far wrong..

Nobody do the maths on that please. It's about right for me. 🧐
