The QUICK question thread.....

In my experience the numbers do match.

Does anyone know if the number on the cylinder of a Thule lock relates to the key number?
I bought some Thule roof mount carriers last night sans keys. Lots of stuff on the Web says the key number is on the face of the cylinder where the key inserts but that is not the case with these.
I managed to extract one of the cylinders as it wasn't locked and can see the number in the pic.

Not sure of the cost but a decent locksmith sould be able to cut a new key from the barrel. They have tools to measure the pin heights.

If you go to a Thule dealer they have all the keys on hand to match your rack.

Yep, I like them for the long distance rides with a rigid fork, they take a bit of the harshness out. I actually got these from Ali and they're fairly thick.

Exactly this, also great for going gloveless on said long distance ride as they don't get slippery.

Just asked my WWE tragic workmate and yep, apparently that's correct. Also heroes are referred to as 'baby faces'

Mate just saw my seriously confused face and apparently "wrestling has its very own parlance that makes no sense."

Checks out.

I meant 5 down. Edited the pic.

Bit of an UK used word, rather than a queer slur. It means puffed up, puffy etc..

Random question - I often read references to the original Marzocchi Z1 being famous for bringing "oils and coils" to forks of the time. Was that a phrase from an advertisement, or just an industry/consumer summation that became popular?
