Errrr - is there a difference?

It's a whickle fingy with a hole through it, needs a bugger size spanner, and a vwery whickle door on top to stop shite going in.

Have I got my technical terminology in order? It's 2 mins to 19:00 here, so can we use the word nipple now?

Yes it's nipple tipple time...get supping...!

Flipping heck....that's my idea! That was the only way I could figure a clincher on a wood rim
That's 1900? Wow ...very interesting seeing the use of aluminium on bikes then....

Maybe it's the box lining or the angles but have the front forks had a shunt ? Probably my eyesight.

Looks that way from both sides, not just your eyes, I think
