Stephen here on Tim's computer (too lazy to change screen names). Dean, I'm in London now, so can't give you a lift. As for all the bolt suggestions, thanks a lot, they were all very imaginative, especially the superglue one.
Tim drilled through the old bolt and whacked the skewer in earlier today, it only took him about 30 seconds, but cheers for the advice anyhow. I rode the outskirts of London today and the weather was shite. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow, but i'll be having a look at the weather forecast and making my mind up tomorrow morning.
If it's raining then I doubt I'll bother. If the ground is dry, or it looks like it will be drying up soon, then I'll be there.
Make sense? Doubt it.
Stephen.
