50+'rs Very Technical Wrenching Language
As mature, advanced cyclists, the 50+ forum is developing a precise and unique language relating to wrenching on our bikes. I offer the following from a recent thread. Do you have any more to offer?:D
50+ "wrench" vocabulary:
pre-fiddling stage
inner axle widget thingy
grab the inner nut with a pair of pliers
hammer and cold chisel
two widgets
some sort of BMX thing
HOLE
*!@$ing front wheel
fiddling, fiddling with the stuff inside the fork
closed circular aperture
squitty puncture repair kit chalk stick
