Greatape, yes I couldn't get that on last night armed only with scissors. It has now been affixed. Also swapped the brakes for my XT's, putting them on the correct sides in doing so. 🙂

No, IT IS MINE, ALL MINE!! 😀 Misleading putting it on here and hijacking the thread I guess. I bet Ton's bike will be more gnarlier and expensiver than mine! 😀

Greatape, it was in work.... I used what was available, but found no use for the toilet roll, biros and sellotape. Yet.

I thought that was nice of you to build it up, with scissors, for him and give it a test ride.

Enjoy the ride.

Surely a biro is around a 5 or 6mm hex?

What ever it is it will be great for you to be out on it. No new bikes here, just loads of repairs and a few upgrades for me.
