A damp mist hangs over the 'ills this morning but I'm not sure it is going to hang about for long, we have been promised a sunny day so I'll give it a bit of time before I complain.
I am going to sort out my holiday goodies today in an attempt to make sure I take everything I need this time.

I would just like to say, the humour of this builder was on a different level...

Morning All
Cool and damp feeling here.
Paper retreived from the shop, hordes of school-kids navigated safely.
Buildering has resumed next door as he got a huge crane to lift his concrete floor-beams and steels over his house on Sat'dy.
20 minutes+ in the call queue for the Drs. only to be told the next Telephone appointment is 28th Sept 10..11AM. Scandalous I say, the GP service has truly gone into hiding and is avoiding patients as best it can.
Have a lovely day

I phoned Welsh Water this morning to own up to receiving a £30 cheque from them compensating me for the interrupted water supply which never happened and I was told that someone in the area must have been inconvenienced so it is a Good Will gesture to me 'just in case' and I should just bank it. Make of that what you want.

They say you should never let a good-idea go "un-plagiarised", and so having had a long chat with my mate Paul about "how" to get short-little-legs around a big 24" wheel there seemed to be two clear alternatives:
Where the piece of strap/bar is located is where additional frame elements would be added for strengthening and stress-relief of the original frame's drop-out to "stay" elements.
This would provide an interference-free chainline with the BB shell located pretty-much where I need it to be.
Now it is easier to do if you turn the frame over and have the BB shell threads the wrong way around. But I suppose one could locktite them in place to avoid any issues?
What do you think?
Should be reasonably easy to do?
- Make your own triangle up from scratch and have all the worry about just "how" to avoid chainline to frame interference. Or..
- Use a pre-made triangle swiveled around to put the BB in the optimum "short-legs" position and marry up to it with additional frame elements.

As the BB will now be in the same rotation to undo as your pedal strokes.
Are these the old style ball bearing or new style BB cassettes?
Hi @Hicap phill I will most likely be using modern cartridge BB. So it will have to go in the wrong way round IF I do the frame round the way that is easiest for me to work on.
So to prevent precession undoing the BB shell caps I would put a bit of blue loctite on BOTH sides of the shell's threads. I have heard of others doing this with success when a LBS or manufacturer has threaded the BB shell incorrectly.

could you also put a small hole & grub screw in to the BB & cartridge ?
Afternoon folks.
well have carried on plodding on I am just glad I dont get paid for the amount of work I dont manage .
Hope to speak with Bruv tonight, not sure what to expect.
Passport office did not ring me back as they said they would, after a call to them on friday it was said somebody will ring you back from the correct dept within 24hrs, so I forgot the weekend days and figured Monday, Nope what a surprise. So gonna look for another phone number and gear up for an ear bashing cos its a bloody simple question to answer.
Hope everybody has got back into the swing of work again for a few days.
