The Fridays Tour

shaved monkey? Don't look that up in the Urban Dictionary!

Well thats me all booked up. The last nights camping sorted.

Aha! Are you camping all the way, and if so, on which sites - so I can book the same ones.... to make life easier for all.

I still haven't sorted out camping for night one....or a tent for that matter......

hmm, maybe I should put in a couple extra miles to mother's cousin in West Bridgeford.....

Back to the "tools in the van" thing:

What about a short length of M10 x 1 studding, gearhanger straightening for the use of?

I've been meaning to get hold of a bit for a while. While a shaved monkey with an adjustable spanned is good, I think this will be more elegant.

Typical. Using technology to try and put the working classes out of a job.

I've seen someone try the M10 stud trick on a mangled mtb mech hanger. It didn't work. But they lacked Tim's experience and good looks. They did have a shaved monkey with an adjustable spanner, in point of fact 'that' adjustable spanner, on standby though. iirc we blew our lead in the kerfuffle and finished third that day.

I'm all in favour of elegance though. (I'm just better at brute force)

I would be very interested as well when you have the details (not that I've been lazy and done no booking or anything )

if you're looking for camping near York then Naburn Lock is the place to go. Remember, though, that the York YHA is pretty inexpensive

I happen to know about bending mech hangers. My brother has a custom-made tool which he uses to correct every mech hanger on every bike that comes to the distributor. I'll see if it's wildly expensive

I've got a tent you can borrow. I think it's still ok, it's been used once then stuck in the garage.

That's jolly decent of you, ta. We're off to France in the morning so I may end up on a decathlon spree (why do they seem that bit better over there?) but if there's no tent bargains to be had (been meaning to get one for the back of the bike for ages) I'd be v greatful.

If I remember I'll dig it out over the weekend to make sure it's all ok.

I can also offer you my tent, a Vango Spirit 200+, what is a great tent in great condition, if BigM's is moth bitten, or other..

Which end of you slept in the tent, the one time you used it, BigMart?

Head end. I've always felt it better to cover the upper half than my feet, that's what boots are made for!

Not Nancy Sinatra's

Ok I'm young. Don't have a clue what that means.
