Concerning spanners - may I suggest box spanners cut in half? There's no need to take sizes you don't need - a 9mm with an 8mm, an 11mm with the 10mm, etc. For the price, they're practically disposable. New holes can be drilled to take the bars, or even a screw driver - though I would suggest using the bars. Just check there's enough headroom and turning space on ALL fixings to get to the next 'flat' if space is tight. They'll be 'custom-made' for your bike and less than half the weight of ring spanners. It's just a thought.

Draper Box Spanner

Might be easier - a photo of what you left with .. and what you came home with ...

Have to do that myself .. note to self - photo of gear going out - unpacked on floor .. and another one when returned - unpacked and unwashed on floor .. to resembel 1st photo. Could be a good calander photo sequence? err and anotehset of phots showing teh packed bike .. both outwards and inwards bound.

Teflon - A note on the box spanners - I don't find them as strong as the ring spanners.

I found that, if the threads are not sticking in regular use and the spanner is a good fit, there's very little strain put on the tool itself. I also find them extremely fast to use. It's what we feel comfy with I suppose.

on it soon
