I bought one of these a few weeks ago for just over a fiver and it's surprisingly useful.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-150mm-Digital-LCD-Vernier-Caliper-Gauge-Micrometer-Electronic-Measuring-Tool-/141167941721?pt=UK_Measuring_Tools_Levels&amp;hash=item20de43d859" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-150mm-Digital-LCD-Vernier-Caliper-Gauge-Micrometer-Electronic-Measuring-Tool-/141167941721?pt=UK_Measuring_Tools_Levels&amp;hash=item20de43d859</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13107#post-158832 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 21:28:54 +0000 Smudge 158832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello again all, been quiet for a while and lurking a bit, but the sun is out and I've accidentally added to the N+1 :-o</p> <p>So the questions are... I've picked up a Megano Expert 20 (old) trials cycle and the headset could do with replacement, but my only micrometer is in mm, I *think* it's a 1 1/8" steerer, anyone know what that is in mm so I can be sure?</p> <p>I am nae use at all trackstands, wheelies, bunny hops etc etc, (basically all the core trails skills lol) nae use as in can't do, but now would seem the ideal time to have another go at learning... any top tips/wise words for a daft old blighter with little/no ability?</p> <p>It would be nice to be able to manage the basics for when Smudge minor starts trying them in a few years(!)<br /> Cheers,<br /> G :-) </p>
