Someone catch her, quick...

Edit: "her" being Wol, whose panting post somehow ended up after this one having previously been before it

Things to fettle in a random hour after the dentist.
[Spandex, don't look!]

I had a quick rummage around and found Granville's old back wheel, the one with the Shimano three speed hub. I also found the 26" rim aluminium that I despoked for Granville's front SA drum brake. I then had a look through the piles of spokes I had to hand and found the spokes that came off from the aforementioned 26" wheel.

A little fettling later and....

A three speed hub gear rear wheel for Emily!
Granted I could only manage a 2 cross pattern with the spokes being about 2mm longer then I would like it works ok. I might see if I can stretch it enough to get it to a 3 cross but I think it might be pushing it a bit. Easy way to find out is to remove a couple of spokes and move them around a bit. to see if they reach.

I might have a look at some of the old MTB front wheels to see if there is a crappier looking rim I can use to keep Emily looking like an 'unloved' local hack. I might even find spokes that would do a 3 cross pattern at the same time.

I have found another rim and slightly longer spokes. So now I am rebuilding the wheel again with three cross pattern.
This time I am on the sofa watching 'Geaorge Clark's Amazing Spaces' on C4, and then another 'Prehistoric Autopsy' on BBC2.

Three cross should be stronger. Best place to be building a wheel too. Bit like doing the knitting in front of the box.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder, I liked the look of the amazing spaces thing...

Wheel roughly assembled.
I am taking a break now as my eyes are tired. I had to respoke one side as I used the wrong holes in the hub.

Easily done!

Work is going to be 'interesting' over the next week, for political reasons. I may need to a lot...

And drink extra strong

Yes, please.

Night Train, do you know anything about silver fish? All I know is that my Mother has some of them in her kitchen, and that they are fond of damp places. How do you get rid of them?

I just found this online http://www.getridofthings.com/pests/bugs/get-rid-of-silverfish.htm

When I had some I also had rotten, damp floorboards. Getting rid of the rotten floor and repairing the source of damp solved that and many other problems.
