I've ordered 4 hangers from China for the price of postage on other sites. I might be without the bike for a few weeks but I can still ride my other bike.

I've came across that also but I've used a few of these before.

Is there a cap of some description for the drive side of a Shimano Hollowtech crankset? Seems like it should be partially covered like the left sides dust cap...
Does anyone know of a DIY tool for a bottom bracket tool, or is that something I'm going to have to buy?

Vice wrench!!!
It's $10 tool though, so don't be a hack and just go buy one.
No cap for Driveside Hollowtech, let it breathe.
It is a diy wasp nest. Works very well.

All my axles, cranks and hollow pivots full of those bloody spider farming bastards!

But, but, you use all of your stuff regularly, right? Those Victorian spiders must be fast workers.

If you ride fast enough they get dizzy and sting other riders, so you are constantly getting stung?

Tubeless question
I am trying to fit a Nobby Nic to a WtB asym rim and just can't get the bead to seal. Tried a track pump and co2 after removing the valve core. I'm now trying the inner tube method, got it to 40psi and heard that satisfying low pop sound.
I've pumped it to 50psi and will leave it over nite but I'm worried when I take the tube out I'll be at square one. I don't have a compressor, am I screwed without one ?
Any tips ?

Soft drink bottle 'compressor' could be an option or just bloody buy a compressor already, they are so useful for all kinds of stuff, you can even get little 6litre ones, limited in use but still useful!

Mr Greenfield
What rim tape solution are you using?
I have perfect success every time with gaffa tape ripped to the right width. I adjust the number of layers for a good tight fit to the tyre when it's mounted and in the centre of the rim.
If you have one layer and air leaking everywhere, no compressor is big enough. It should be a good tight fit, then a track pump has a chance.

I'm using WTB tape, it came in the width for my rim.
I am wondering if my floor pump is low volume.

Use one of these, beads anything up every time.

Some tyres are just a prick to bead up on certain rims. Schwalbe normally give me hell, even with a large compressor for some reason.
