Cracked a nut
I've managed to crack the rotating collar thing on a rear track nut so that
it's now C-shaped and splaying. Bum. Does anyone know of an online source for these things, preferably ones not made of rice pudding? Wiggle only seem to do front track nuts today, and I'm not convinced by the photos other suppliers have up: they seem not to have the captive washer part, rather their serrated bit seems to be part of the nut itself. -- Andrew Chadwick |

Can't help, but I'm relieved that it wasn't a complaint about saddles!

Send me your postal - my address is valid - and I'll put some in the post. Cost will be a donation of your choice to the RNLI. hth -- A T (Sandy) Morton on the Bicycle Island In the Global Village http://www.millport.net |

Metric unfortunately. Thanks for the offer though. Problem solved, to my surprise, by the local hardware and electrical shop, so I'm now the faintly suspicious owner of a couple of 70p replacements. Hmm indeed, but they fit. We'll see how long they last. -- Andrew Chadwick |
