7/10 for me as well.

Although according to them you can't replace an inner cable on it's own, you need to replace the outer as well.

I would've got them all if it wasn't for that one. I often replace inners if the outer isn't damaged, run the new cable through a big gob of grease in a rag and push it through, no problem.

5/10 but I've rebuilt bikes that have spent 20 odd years lying in hedgerows, made a pre-war coaster brake hub work perfectly when the V-CC hub gear expert said it couldn't be fixed and successfully rebuilt several bikes into something different from what they were originally. I've also restored two vintage tractors and as able to make 1 working engine from two broken ones for the old Cortina I used to play with through the fields when I was about 15 but I'm not very good at mechanics according to this quiz so better stop doing it.

Anyone want to buy a socket set?

Nah, it's just Bicycling Magazine, they're like that. I wouldn't pay it no never mind. They'll have a new opinion/quiz/advertisement next week.
