Getting this razzer facking spider off...
Plinth Adenoid:
I'm chuffed you recognise it Rodgy! I loved that disc when I got it, I lost it briefly thanks to a local tea-leaf but got it back ;) I know nothing about them now but remember being so pleased with it :)
My Takagi crank is a little corroded, possibly saveable. I saw a Haro 1 piece for £20, might get that and move the disc over...

i.e normal way,
get some big fook-off mole grips on it or tw@t it off with a lump hamer and chisel, using the cut out,
the shock useing this tac-tic can sometimes help free'ing it... ;)

Well, once I knew it was anticlockwise it was easy from there. I found a piece of painted kitchen hardware (a brace for two panels), popped it in the notch and drifted it right off. The disc is fab, looks great now it's clean and I bought that Haro 1 piece because it's shiny :)
On to the Skyways next. I lent my fully built DP to a friend years ago so that he could ride round some bug meet on old school wheels. He delightfully fitted some nice new black brake blocks, onto my nice white Skyways. Here's the mess:
But 15 mins with 150 grit paper and 5 mins qith 160bar jet wash and:
And finally into some bleach:
In case you're wondering, it turns out Skyways fit nicely inside an up turned bin lid which sits well in an old wheel barrow!
The rear one is next weekends little project.
Brakes are going to give me a problem I reckon. I've got one Dia Comp 1000 which is rough and a Shimano Tourney 88S in blue. I've seen a FS880/R901 set, with levers and cables, NOS, for £160, and they're the right colour too. Is that a good price?
I'm gonna be spending like crazy :) All for a rider for my boy, hope he looks after it!

But he might shred it --or put some nice new black brake blocks on it :laugh:
