Tea? (Part 1)

[tdr1nka]

I would solder the end of the cable but I have never had my last soldering iron returned. Grr.

I'm going to ring a few LBSs and see if they have cables this length in stock.

 

[Arch]

Hmm. I'd want to be pretty sure I had a spare cable to hand before trying that sort of malarkey...

Wimp...

I reckon (for what it's worth, which is debateable), you shouldn't fray it pulling it out, and if you are careful, and maybe bind the end with a little blob of glue or something, you should be able to rethread it. After all, when you thread a new cable, it's an 'open' end. Maybe trim it slightly to cut off any suspect end, if you have enough spare....

 

[tdr1nka]

I have my uber cable cutters at the ready.
I feel like a bomb disposal expert.

*carefully uncrimps cable end for removal and inspection of cable end....*

*wince*

Steady now. Careful.... Gently does it....

<atchoo!>

Sorry, did that make you jump?

 

[tdr1nka]

'Ere, funny how you think of things while doing something else.
I haven't seen Night Train around for a bit?

I cut the cable and something started ticking.

No, he hasn't been about much..

I think you'll find you actually cut your watch strap, and it fell down next to that microphone you've left on the floor for some reason...

I had a nice chat with my sister last night, after she'd had a 30 minute download about her mother in law (who's just been to visit)...

 

[Landslide]

Wimp...

The kind of wimp that can still select the large sprocket!

 

[tdr1nka]

Now I know what's happening.

The frame locator pin is missing from the rear mech and it's been slipping round under pressure.

*goes to rummage in bit box again....*

 

[tdr1nka]

Just tried to light my cigarette with my modem dongle.

I might need more tea.

Cable is successfully re routed btw!

I do hope you're not connecting to the internet via a lighter....

Hoorah for the cable re-reouting, see I knew you could do it.

 

[Speicher]

This potentially explosive situation (the one where Trd1nka doesn't get enough tea) reminds me...

Some one used the expression "touch the blue paper" - did they mean "light the blue touch paper" or something sim..

See Landers, nur, nur, nee nur nur.

I am a bodger of the highest order, still cant find a small enough nut & bolt to locate the mech tho.

Maybe a cable tie just for the short term?.........Mmmmmmmmm

 

[Landslide]

Big spanner on the wheel nuts.

 

[tdr1nka]

Whoever last put the mech back together put a washer between the mech and the dropout, I think this is why the chain kept wanting to jam on the small cogs and the mech slipping down causing the cable to slacken off?

I did wonder if I could set it in place by doing up the wheel nuts monster tight.
