I am truly talented with an allen key me, why there aint nothin I can’t undo. Including a very stiff bolt on the front brake of my single speed. Unfortunately it turns out that particular bolt should not be undone. Or at least that’s the way it seems now that I can’t get the bloody thing screwed back in. Nice one, stuffed up a perfectly good pair of brakes in under ten minutes…genius.

Oooopps. Was there any reason why you wanted to undo it in the first place?

Of course, i was trying to get the caliper brake open enough to put the new brake pads on. I must also mention I had just had 2 bottles of beer and neglected to notice the little lever i was supposed to use to release the cable and open the caliper…
The good news is – i know what not to do now.

Oh dear. That which doesn’t make our bikes catch fire makes us stronger, as my dad used to say when bits started falling off his motorbike when my mum and I were on the back with 6 big bags of shopping, fearing for our lives.
You were right about the fish restaurant, by the way, it was Back To Basics. Did a quick review, here’s the abbreviated version: nice food well cooked, charged too much for it. I’d go back though, it’s quite a charming little place and they really know their fish.
