anyone, Hants/Berks, got a 41mm socket I can use to change my c&s? Tried lots of places but can't justify spending £20+ on a socket (especially as I need both 41?46)! Theres a pint in it for you.....

Cheers Weeksy - I think I only need the 41 to replace the rear socket don't I?

ps - forgive me if I am completely WRONG - it is a common fault for me (so says the wife)

Bradders, nect time there is a bike show or similar event, go to one of the cheapo tool stands and buy your sockets mine cost me £5 with a 3/4 drive and a 3/4 to 1/2 adaptor cost £4, reasonable quality and at a very good price

Next time I go to a show i will post a message on the board to see if anybody wants me to get them some.

EXCELLENT IDEA!! I have searched fairly extensively around markets and tool shops and, except buying 1 for £20 or a set for £60 couldn't find any. Make that post! I for one will have one.
Thanks

YellowBip lent me his to do the c&s, but I hate borrowing things so think I need to bite the bullet and buy them!
