    Hang on. Bike shops can't straighten a hanger as they don't have the 11 speed chain tool? I did mine quickly by unscrewing the mech and leaving it on the chain, only took a few moments. Admittedly if I'd had more time I would have done a clean and degrease whilst I was at it, but you can straighten a hanger without splitting the chain.

    Correct, think I did mine that way. But I have an 11sp quicklink so don't need to use the 11 speed chain tool that I DO have anyway :wink:

    Show off! You stop boasting about your tool :lol:

    No, that was because I need to change the chain as well.

    Sometimes I zinking I living too long in ze Fatherland and making ze silly mistakes wiz ze Inglish :D
    Made me think of this:
    The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility.

    As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".

    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

    By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

    After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!
