It's a yes for me.

Apologies, I'm unable to attend tonight. Resting, doctor has just diagnosed costochondritis ! Basically it's a temporary inflammation of the costal cartilage, painful . Thank goodness thats all, I thought I was having a heart attack.

Richard , Paul. My gut feeling is as you say. Bite the bullet and buy new cassettes (3) and new chain. I really do think a re rivet of the spider could be a dangerous option. Searching you tube , it would appear Shimano Dura Ace 9000 11 speed had this as a design fault! Of course the 9100 Dura Ace doesn't have this fault. Cheers ,thanks for your input. Now looking for best buy Ultegra cassettes + chain

Last Saturday I sheared the 18T on my Shimano Dura Ace 11 speed cassette. I purchased this around 3 years ago when I retired, I think from Dooleys. The 18T cog is attached by rivets to a central spider and these have sheared off. I think that I should be able to replace the spider but I would expect to have to drill the rivets out and then replace them. If it can be done ! A new shimano Dura Ace 11 speed cassette is around £150.00 ! If this can be repaired successfully then it would save me mega ! Any smart techy bike mechanics out there that might suggest possible solutions ?

I'll be there. Might ride if anyone is desperately looking for a partner.

Apologies, I'm not able to make it tonight. Still suffering from MANFLU

Road rash on my ankle leg hip and elbow are healing nicely, although I am NOT enjoying the pain when the scabs catch clothing and bed covers !! No major damage to bike or clothing . Enjoy your recovery.

I've got man flu, not sure I'll be there, I was seriously thinking of riding .

You ok ? Alex B. When I came off last week EricL was at hand to help, and it was lucky that EricL was around today no doubt to assist you too !! How lucky is that................

Sorry guys , won't be out sunday.

Richard, I might actually ride the 2up TT if I get a Jet to ride with or another OAP

I could be interested in this......................

Apologies guys .

On holiday.

Oh no,Morna knows that I crashed !

I'll be at Ardrossan for ferry, and I'll will decide my return on the day. I've got an empty on Saturday..................
