I breathed in the vapour from boiling caustic soda once. Spent a few moments wondering if a trip to hospital was going to be necessary. Or the undertaker.

If you put a bend in the rim, you can't really straighten them well unless you're lucky. Not recommended for knocking around on. These wheels get put in the scrap faster than those with an even spoke pattern. Also bear in mind cheap wheels have cheap spokes, which tend to get brittle and...

Most corrosive chemicals taste burn-ey - the flavour will come from your own melting cells. Don't even think of doing a Kojak!

Can only be Aero

...a packet of Bensons and a can of McEwens👌

Paint stripper effectiveness depends on the composition of the paint. Heat removes almost everything.

Used for map reading and photo reconnaissance i believe. Imagine those ladies poring over aerial photos of peenemunde, analysing the shadows on the ground!

I've seen one recently in the basement should I dig it out? Tiglide iirc

Elephant Ears!

Thanks👍 I was riding there in the dark in the rain with 6 lanes of traffic around me and I thought it looked aMazing. I do love a good tree though...

We see loads of modern frames failed at the cable/hose entry point, and old ones too. You have to accept that if you have a structural tube and then drill a hole in it, you deffo haven't made it stronger🤣 But as well as a stress riser, you've also added an ingress point for muck and corrosive...

These axles are usually a 9.5mm? thread not standard, so unless you have a 126 campag axle of similar period it will be easiest to cut 4mm off the existing. You should then be able to reduce the spacers each side by 2mm, giving you the right end result. The NDS does look a bit close, but I'd...
