Sent a set of wheels in a wheel box using Parcelforce last week. Used their website to pre-book it. Basic cost was pretty reasonable (less than a tenner from memory), and £500 insurance added on an extra £20ish I think.
A loooong time ago I did a month backpacking around the Philippines. My vague memories of Cebu were a beach bar out in the sticks whose "thing" was some form of drinking challenge, which if you completed you got your name on a tiny brass plaque on the wall. That many people had done it that...
Thanks mate, it is my pride and joy. Just had to start sub-letting a corner of it to my 14yo daughter who has become pretty proficient at silversmithing. Was a bit concerned about losing my safe space, but it is actually nice to have a bit of company out there.

As with all the other replies, it is difficult to find something which actually works. I have Raynaud's syndrome which exacerbates the problem. The best brand I have found is Hestra https://www.hestragloves.uk/men and using a combo of a thermal glove with an additional thin liner.
I know you don’t want to split, but I’m guessing people on here may just be looking to fill gaps in their toolkits. If it does eventually split, I’d be interested in the headset spanner, pin spanner and chain whips. Thanks. Free bump anyway…
This looks like a lot of fun, might give it a crack.
How have you got the PC power supply set up?
My previous experience of electricity and water hasn't been great.
Not much happening at the moment... The rear rim went banana at the join (the pin had cracked) under the smallest amount of tension, so have ordered a couple of Kinlin T10s as replacement. They look virtually identical to the Starals and I'd rather have peace of mind knowing they weren't going...
