Morning
Today is living the high life in Chester! And as it's Friday, it's get out of there on the dot and go to the pub0 -
Morning scuttlers
For once my Friday is a Friday and I have the weekend off, how did that happen?
But for now, work.

Morning Losers!
It's eerily quiet outside, no cars... weird. Today, work, then I'm off to Bury where an old friend has invited me and another friend round for pizza (that she's making :shock: ) I'm not sure what the motive is, as we're not that close. Me and my friend (who are close) have got our escape plans sorted.
After this, more Minecraft.
Laters!It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Proper Cruddy stuff!
Mornin' meatwads,
Fryday = bacons.
It's a simple equation, but it works.
Onwards! To pork three ways, with fungi, potato rosti, pulses, vine fruit and a hens egg!

On the upside it is friday and i have decided its going to be poets day, and tomorrow is Karting! (biggest indoor karting in europe might i add)
Sunday i hope it stops raining long enough to play bikes?
Anyway onward to more coffees and internet browsing.0 -
Morning mongs.
Still f**king raining, getting bored of using the turbo and rollers but all the local roads are flooded so the gay bike isn't an option, and all the off road routes are nothing but watery mud. Last time I went out on the 456 it sank up to the hubs on a particularly mucky bit.
Also continuing to off load various bike bits and bikes (4 out of 8 gone so far), not sure what to go for though as a replacement, considering how much my back hurts after 4 hours on the bike I think I may even have to go for something with a bit of bouncy at both ends.Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.
Who are you calling inbred?0 -
Morning,
Off to return the courtesy car then getting them to drop me somewhere for breakfast. No work for me today so will be ensuring I have at least one bike fit to ride to work until the insurance check arrives.
Next charity ride lined up, so will start checking out some road bikes as well.

Morning clunge sniffers.
TFIF, absolutely, especially as it's a three day weekend for me
Today consists of doing as little as possible (apart from being on here) to get through the day
Onwards to another tea now."Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

Morning bottom feeders,
Very glad it's Friday. A bit irritated I'll have to skip going to the cafe for lunch as I have to finish making my large cardboard biplane. But it's all in favour of a good pish up so shouldn't grumble. I'll spend the rest of the day avoiding difficult customers and only dealing with the decent ones.
Have fun...0 -

Length of threaded rod, couple of nuts, large thick washers and some sort of top hat shaped things to make sure the washers stay level. If you just use nuts and washers the bearing races still try to go in on the slant. Hope that makes sense if not I'll try to do a picture.
I do work in a large warehouse full of old car parts which makes that sort of thing easier.0 -

All makes sense apart from the top hat part. Like an m20 rod?0 -

Goes between the nut and the large washers just to keep everything perpendicular to the threaded rod.
ETA: Pilch beat me to it, just needs to have enough length to keep everything lined up.0 -
