Default Needed, Circlip Pliers in Golden Square.

From the thread title, guess what fell off my bike on Westminster Bridge this morning.

If anyone can save me a shopping trip, I would be grateful.

If you get stuck ( because I'm sure today is the one day nobody thought to stick a set in their pocket) Maplins are your best bet for getting such things in the City.

Can you make it back to Croydon?
If so, I can pop by tonight.

Failing that I *may* have a set under the seat, I can go check if needed.

Impressed. What else you got under there?
Please find below a couple of sustainability points redeemable should you find yourself in the vicinity of Guildford.


GMCA Jambo +2 for excellent preparedness.

Thank you, especially so as they do not fit a single thing I've found externally on my bike. But we had this gear problem on a couple of rideouts so I carry a pair along with the rest of the toolkit.

Under the seat i tend to carry:
Puncture repair kit
Circlip pliers & mole grips
Sockets in useful sizes, screwdriver & hex bits, spanners.
T-bar for sockets
Gaffa tape, cable ties
Spare Clutch & throttle cable


I almost never need any of the above, but Dave's been rescued by an ever increasing percentage of my toolkit. I ought to charge

Nothing so cunning, I made a mess of a filtering lane selection and got stuck at a set of lights!

Dave, was late getting here and can't get you by phone, perhaps I have an old number or you are somewhere loud. Bike is fixed.

As I said to you having just caught you at the scene, Thank You Very Much once again

I had come down early, realised it was past sloping off time so dived upstarirs to get ready to leave.

But anyway, brilliant service once again
