Might take one off the wifes' bike in a minute.  ;D

Come to think of it I might have a spare Gardiners one in the Garage.

Just finished making my quick release plastic angle adapters, and put them on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Quick-Release-Adjustable-Angle-Gooseneck-Crank-Adapter-/180632541918?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item2a0e89dade

Been using it for a month now - absolutely awesome.

I am knocking out the complete angle adapter at £9.99

I will also be listing just the parts to convert existing gooseneck for £5.00 each.

How easy is it to remove the brush with the top section of the angle adaptor & brush on ?

Say i want to swop over to a different brush ?
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Probably safer using the saddle one, dont want the wheel coming off lol.

Great idea tho, i like it, i hate the normal winders on the adaptors, mines gone really tight and wrecks your hands to undo it.

I have been useing these for 4yrs now I think I got the idea from Jeff Brimble, very quick to change the angle, much easier than unscrewing the thread that they come with

Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2005 9:17 pm    Post subject: elbow lever wing nut     
 
JB the unger elbow has a bolt and wing nut to keep it fastened. I am looking for some sort of lever operated quick release, best descrip I can come up with is that its like the fizz keeper that you put in wine bottles. so it would be a bolt with an adjustable canilever to lock the jpints together as I am fed up screwing the unger bolt up and down.
Does anyone follow my drift ?

Matt diyforum -  buy a quick realease mech for a mountain bike, you will have p.haps alter the dia of the bolt though
but should work.

Im sorry but i dont see what all the fuss is about , it looks like yet another lame attempt to make money !
Maybe some of you have fallen for it , thought you would know better ?
What is wrong with just not doing the original fixing up so tight ?
Little pressure to move the brush head to the desired position and away you go , ok it does wear the teeth after about 6 months but by this time the narroow part of plastic on the joint is on the way out anyway .

Im putting my latest invention on the mighty EBAY soon , he's a very small ex jockey who sits on top of your pole and does the job trad , safety in mind and what the custy wants ...VFM.....  ;D

Come on chaps , dont be sheep !

Hmmmm , peace and more peace , i waited , no reply , all i can think is that maybe dave mills is the seller or friend of , in short guys , what i dont like to see is a bloke takin the P out of poss newbs on a budget looking to set up and sayin , you need this piece of turd , you dont !

The goal has always been to get the lightest pole you can , you go to gardners and get your clx , slx , and then put a heavier item than standard on the top , going backwards me thinks !

How much more do you think that quick release handle weighs than the original fixing ........... 10 - 15 - 20 grams, I'm sorry, but if you can't handle that extra weight on the end of your pole, then IMO you're in the wrong job, perhaps you should be sat behind a desk with a lightweight bic biro because a parker pen might be too heavy for you. ::)
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

Here we go then , would you like me to do a video of how to move an angle adapter under low compression ?
Not wasting my time bud , go to your van , turn the original fitting anticlockwise (backward) a little bit .......
WOW it moves ....and to any position required , without the loss of pressure needed to clean a window !!!

O.K.Daniel son !
