There 'n Back - fettling

Post by gairym »

Is it safe to assume that everyone is as highly organised as me?

I'm currently in my bunk-house in deepest Waleshire trying to fit different brakes armed only with a tiny multi-tool - arghhhh!!!

To say that I am under-prepared would be a massive understatement.

Stuart, will there be tools at the start in the morning?

I reckon just some needle-nosed pliers, a little hammer and a screwdriver (flat, medium sized) should do it.

Cheers feela, appreciated.

What time will you be there in the morning?

Enjoy yourselves this weekend.

I'm very jealous of you all, I didn't sign up because I knew that I had to travel over to our works in France very early on Tuesday and I won't be home until late on Thursday, so a pass would have been impossible to get this close to my trip.

I was told today that the 2 day meeting will be held at 4pm on Wednesday, so for Tuesday, most of Wednesday and Thursday I'll be kicking my heels and killing time :evil:
When I could have flown in and out in 24 hours and rode this weekend. :roll:

Thanks Stu I really appreciate it.

Please don't tempt me. But the flights, hire car and hotels are booked and paid for and the evening meals with "the team" in the Champagne region are all sorted as well.

Plus the missus has jobs for me to do this weekend as well.....

Oh to be single :roll:

Minor fettling required here. If anyone happens to have a spare pair of Hope Mono M4 disc pads spare/ for sale, I'd be extremely grateful, otherwise my first stop will be a bike shop in Dol. Pity that The Holy Trail bike shop in Mach has closed :(

Ian. I've got some (3 sets I think) of M4 pads with me (those are the brakes in trying to fit).

Will be there at 08:30 and will leave a set with Stu if I don't see you (you can owe me a pint or two).

That frame is here with me for you too.

Those are mono mini's. I need the M4's. Sounds like Gairy had come up trumps, but thanks for the offer Matt :)
You riding this weekend then?
