That’s only just happened - not even worn or pushed in. Check your driveway!

His driveway might fall to bits if a screw has fallen out.

There doesn't appear to be a slot or anything in the screw head. :hmmm:

A trip to the dump was always fraught and I tried to park as far away from the wood container as poss because, although the crew swept quite often, there seemed to be a lot of pointy stuff fall out of things between cars and container.

Cheers. Never heard of or seen them before. Seems like a good idea. (Also called Scrulox apparently).

No photos but we had an unexpected sunny day here - forecast was solid rain as late a yesterday - so after getting home this afternoon I did a few short trips to pick up various bits from various shops. Just nice to be out on a bike, only the third time this year....!

I ordered some new levers the other week,they finally turned up this afternoon after Royal Mail 24 took 7 days to deliver them :thumbdown: ...
After fitting them I decided to go for a test run to see if I had adjusted them to where I wanted.

Lovely sunny evening so I ended up doing 30 miles & got caught in a light April shower at one point :roll:
