Tea? (Part 2)

[TheDoctor]

Which one feels right? Adjust the other one.
Personally, I'd just go out for a ride and take an allen key with you. They'll be fine by the time you get back.
(You need to use the allen key to adjust the ends repeatedly till they feel right. Don't just keep it in your pocket the whole ride. That would be daft!!)

Fill a 1m or so length of plastic tube with water and then mark each water level against the ends of the handlebars to get your bike level, then without moving the bike move the water level marks to the top of the bar ends to see if they are still level with the water level too... if the water level is the same then both bar ends are the same height.

 

[TheDoctor]

Well, that's a bit dull and practical.
You could at least have suggested a theodolite.

I've been and had a little lie down and the answer has slowly dawned on me...

You're all as barking as a box of frogs.

 

[Archie_tect]

..or hit them with a big Birmingham Screwdriver.

or... turn the bike upside down to see if it rests on the bar ends. If it does, check for perpendicularity of the frame with a plumb line.

Of course, if you've had a drink, you'll need to also check yourself for perpendicularity.

 

[Night Train]

The bar ends are fine.
Measure your arms!

It's not supposed to dawn on you until about 4am tomorrow morning.

Or perpendiperculiararity?

What was *in* that jam?

 

[Paulus]

Sorry for gatecrashing the party, but what is going on? Jo has wonky bar ends, and eyes, and others have suggested a plumbline and a theodolite? I'm putting the kettle on.

 

[Archie_tect]

Jo will level with you... the rest of us are on a bender.

This morning we were discussing elephants wearing shorts.

Jo is going out for the evening, she is putting on some eye liner.

There are rules, you know. Steel rules!!!
I'm currently working on a spirit level.
If I drink enough spirits, I shall become horizontal.
