WrightJnr Posted December 19, 2020 Share In fairness, that 99% refers to a "shammy". Probably because it was such a horrible experience it can’t be forgotten. (I speak from experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleming Posted December 19, 2020 Share Some sent this ad to me the other day. Probably a autocorrect error but still damn funny. Long Wheel Base and Christie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrightJnr Posted December 19, 2020 Share Please don’t ever ask to borrow a “star” screwdriver from me. I don’t have any of those. Phillips, Torx, Hex, Flat, Slotted amongst others I can try help but star, sorry you need a telescope for that.

Biciclette Posted December 20, 2020 Share Clipless pedals? Should be clip pedals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted December 20, 2020 Share Clipless pedals? Should be clip pedals?No, clip pedals refers to pedals with toe clips (like the ones on stationary bikes in virgin active). When we got rid of toe clips and used shoes with cleats it became clipless (ie: the lack of toe clips). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips, Torx, Hex, Flat, Slotted amongst others I can try help but star, sorry you need a telescope for that.Don't ever come ask to borrow a flat from me. Common. As someone that uses tools to earn a living and always worked with my hands I have grown up hearing all these weird and wonderful names for tools. Monkey wrench???? Multi grips!!!!!Also there is a big difference between a plastic hammer and a mallet. I have heard a few funny names for a shifting spanner as well, the best being a vrystaat micrometer.
