Tell em oi seed a badger acting loike he had caught TB from a cow...that was acting loike it were a bit mad, bein followed by a chicken wid an avian type cough and a pack o hooonds who were on the trail of Emperor the Exmoor stag. That should do it.

OR....back in the real world. Some guy just got fined by customs and exercise cous he did the council a flavour and mowed a footy pitch wid his tractor....they pounced on him and did him for using red diesel. laugh.gif Aparently he shoulda drained the tractors fuel supply filled it with normal diesel, mowed the pitch, drained the normal diesel, filled his tractor with red diesel again and been on his way as twerent for agricultural use. rotflmmfao.gif

Test ride was successful. Managed to snap a derallieur cable leaving me in top gear, me seat post slipped and me new welded wires blew up me phone battery. laugh.gif

Hmm hope my theory about rims is correct, will only know when on massive doonhill gradient with all luggage on. If the tyre suddenly goes flat and oi crash then guess t'werent the rims.

Any ideas how to stop a seat post slippin? I had heard chalk would work...it didn't. Am thinking of shim steel but that complicates things.

I did snap a seat post once amarko and nearly got an angus full of shrapnel! ohmy.gif

Is it that the seat tube clamp doesn't grip the seat post? Or just that it slips down with use?
If it's not turnng but just slipping, would summat like a jubilee clip around the seat post do it?

Otherwise, maybe a shim of emery paper might give a bit of grip.

laugh.gif Took me a few seconds.

Think I have it sorted now. I went to boike shop and they gave me some sticky tack what they use on carbon fibre Cindys. So now have, proper nut/bolt combo. Jubbly clip and sticky tack. Hopefully this will sort it and I wunt snap the Cindy and cut me Sonya.
