Last Christmas my two best mates bought me a small torque wrench kit intended for cycles. It wasn’t a cheapo one, and cost quite a few quid.
I needed it last week when torquing the handlebars on my road bike (carbon bars carbon stem) but could I hell find it.
I looked in every box and on every shelf in my workshop ten times over, no word of a lie I spent two hours looking for it.
I’d just about given up when I thought of one last place it may be, I’d moved this particular thing a dozen times, it was a paint roller tray. There it was under the roller!
I was so relieved to find it I wasn’t even mad or annoyed that I’d wasted two hours and was blathered in dust, I was grinning ear to ear
It’s always, always in a place you’d never think to look.
