End of time...?

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

[quote="huw williams"]So this morning I was forced out onto the 585 (it's a hard life 8) ) in full race trim for the first time.


If it's that much of a problem for you, and out of the goodness of my heart, I think I could be persuaded to lend you the Frankenbike. It's got lights, mudguards and everything :twisted: :wink: .

There's a reason they call it a [size=150]REPLACEABLE[/size] hanger, not a [size=150]BEND-BACK-INTO-SHAPE-ABLE[/size] hanger :D

No wonder this planet's on it's knees if so many people so readily discard pefectly repairable items

Would you throw your car away just becuase its got a minor, teenys-weensy dent in the bumper?

Those Replaceable hangers may only be an inch long but they takes months of hand-forging in thermite kilns powered by the highest grade fossil fuels to make -
and you lot would just discard them like an old dog who's back legs have gone and say "Oh just forge me another one and sod the polar bears"

May the curse of Al Gore reign down on every one of you 8)

there's a review of a multittool in this month's MBR that actually includes a (presumably designed to be universal) hanger -- maybe you should have been given that to test instead of the Time...
