Yes.

Impressed?

Pah, I carried my wheels back from London on my bicycle.



I may have made that up.

 

[Ashley Burton]

Yes.

Impressed?

You crazy devil!

I bet people on the bus thought you had lost the plot

 

[Blagadan]

I bought one of these refillable compressed air spray cans, this one can be used with solvents, I am gonna use it with kerosene I think, maybe acetone:

I like the concept, might get another to fill with some kind of general purpose oil.

Where did you get this? Looks useful.

 

[DennisCA]

I'm afraid I got no idea where to get that in the UK. I got it from Biltema which is one of the hardware store chains found here.

It looks like it could be useful but I don't know how safe it would be

AvE reviewed an Elora one a few months ago I think, probably costs more but perhaps safer from a known brand.

EDIT; Hazet, even.

Linky.

What was in the box?

Well it has a smell of damp and mould.

But inside was a nice item.

I got cakes.



I don't think my friend thought the design fully through.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Still no answer on the odd tool.


The handle is not original.
That is the only damaged to it.

Hope that wasn't the dog that decorated them

 

[Chillitt]

Had a trip to that London today as a mates brother had a bike thats been sat under a tarp for 20 years and they have finally given up on it.

we were there he asked if I could get rid of some other stuff for him so I now have one of these too.

I've started cleaning this up, the gears are de rusting and Its all looking in fair condition apart from the spindle which moves a little, but feels like the must be a spindle lock on it. Anyone know where/what it is?

 

[Hood]

I think mine had a back gear on it and you turned a bit on the front gear to disengage so that back gear could be used, if you didn't then they were locked together and couldn't rotate.

 

[Hood]

Here is a pic of where to look, you loosen the screw arrowed and turn it in the slot and tighten again.
That is assuming it has a back gear and it is engaged.

Thank you, a picture really is worth a 1000 words. Mine are as per the picture, but the gear is turned 90 degrees, so I cant get to the screws..

 

[Hood]

Take it out of back gear and that will let the front freewheel and you can then get to the screws. That is if I am remembering correctly as it must have been 30 years ago
