Is there anyway I can turn my still broken gas meter to my advantage in the current climate?

If they find out, will some friendly eastern European boys come to visit?seanoconn said:Is there anyway I can turn my still broken gas meter to my advantage in the current climate?
Bloody wet here. Supposed to dry up later and maybe i'll get to squeeze a pedal in.
Fitted crud catchers to the C40. I did. Carefully.
Are we now officially in the post Hoppy era?
That bloody Stevo, he's a lot to answer for.

Bicycle tinkering tinkered - Campag is just so much nicer made than Shimano, everything from the barrel adjust screws to the B screws to the shifters to the whole lot. Just so much nicer - why people put up with Shimano plastic tat and still rave about it I just don't know.
Anyhow, sunny but cold here, about to walk Hound with crook TDV then Zwift, maybe quick weights sesh, then Paris Roubaix from last weekend, some more tinkering...... and vino..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Friday night drinks = Saturday morning head. What happens when you open that attractive bottle of malt that you got as a pressie. Will let the fog lift before venturing out. Win win.
Turns out antivaxer relative is also a test refusenik. Kids are in a schools hotbed of covid, I refuse the vaccine, but no I won't allow any lateral flow tests to reduce the risk to others I invite to visit the house. Selfish self centred or what?
Whatevs. Bring on some sunshine.

If its over £39 in value they'll probably be getting in touch with you to pay the import VAT. That might explain the wait...sungod said:'ning

Heres one for you - rear mech shifts up and down cassette perfect but cage rubs on 28 and 27 but not 29 tooth....
adjust B screw makes no difference.
perfect everywhere else....

Check you haven't mixed up the upper and lower jockey wheel - upper has (needs) play, lower doesn't.
B screw - set clearance too big to start with, adjust towards cassette.
Is the B screw actually moving the mech? Or is it threaded?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
is it one of the rear mech designs that has a rotating bit on the mounting bolt? if so, and you get it the wrong side of the tab on the hanger, the b screw has nothing to push onMattFalle said:Heres one for you - rear mech shifts up and down cassette perfect but cage rubs on 28 and 27 but not 29 tooth....

Afternoon folks,
Traditional slow start was enjoyed, EPO sent me into the loft to fetch winter clothes. Should be warmer for a few days now SG. About to head over to Wombledon to see the old dear and check on friend's daughter with baby. Hopefully she's more settled now we've got her away from the abusive boyfriend.0 -
This is why Bracketeers are the best.
Problem solved.
Took chain off
Took mech off
Swore at it and told The Imps that I would find them and I'd get the thwacker out
Put it all back together
Works perfect
No fricking idea at all what/why/how
But grazie again to all - v much appreciated
Now for coffee, protein shake and slumber before Il Lombardia and weights..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

New Bond was brill. Finished playing James Bond with the boy, I let him have the Walther ppk and demoted myself to 009. The things we do for our kids. Currently supping a vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי2

inboard?MattFalle said:Any ideas why 50 tooth 1x chucks off the chain when its in the 29?
chainline might be too far out, the wider the angle the more likely the chain will come off, angle increases with shorter chainstays
tbh not enough info
did it ever work with a 29? are the crankset+chainring designed for x1? or are you improvising with x2 parts?
with x2 the fd cage helps prevent the chain coming off, with no cage it's free to drop, worse case you could fit an x1 chain catcher to prevent it dropping
