Tuesday evening - an FSA wing compact handlebar from Spa Cycles.
All credit to them as it was delivered this afternoon.

Push bike tensioners aren't usually spring loaded.Fitted a chain tensioner to my wife's bike.
I got an extra strong motorbike one and prefabricated it to fit for £6.
(Carefully, fold the steel lugs around using a vice until the four holes line up. Then it can be bolted onto the chain stay and wheel dropout.)

Okay this might get the vote for the weirdest entry - a table vice! Trying to get a freewheel off and no way will it budge with a spanner on the removal tool and so tried in it the existing vice turning the wheel only to discover the vice although locked rotates through the torque applied by the wheel So order placed with Tool Station who are claiming a delivery tomorrow.
Not weird at all, Mike.
A bench vice is an essential piece of kit for any workshop.
Gunk said:You can pick them up for next to nothing, avoid the modern cheap Chinese vices, try and get an old British made Woden or Record I paid £30 for mine about 7 years ago off eBay, it’s over 50 years old and works beautifully.
