This is where the hold up is - I expected to be able to remove the bottom bracket with my usual tool. But no, my tool is 44mm and this bottom bracket needs 39mm. Because bikes
I sent for a new tool (along with some other stuff) from Amazon on Saturday, which was being delivered yesterday. At 6 pm it still hadn't arrived and I had to go out. Sod's Law decrees that it turned up at 6.15 pm... and the Amazon driver just left it on the doorstep and buggered off. (I saw this on my CCTV cameras)
The order tracking on Amazon said "parcel was handed to resident". Oh no it wasn't!
When I got home at 9 pm there was no evidence of a parcel. I checked the cameras to see where it had gone and annoyingly the camera that shows the front door hasn't saved any footage since 6.22 pm. It is still working live but has stopped saving.
This morning I checked with the neighbours in case any of them had taken in the parcel or had seen what happened to it. None had, which isn't surprising as it was dark and they would have had their curtains closed so wouldn't even have known it was there. I can only assume some nice passer-by has liberated it
To be fair to Amazon, when I contacted them they refunded me without a problem. I have re-ordered the tool but I have to wait till tomorrow for it to arrive now.
Got 'em 🙂
