Aargh! I cannot get the knurled ring thing on the valve stem to move,
as the thread are all clogged with Skog(tm). "Never mind", I thought,
"I shall use the pliers on my multitool." Extract multitool from bag,
observe dispassionately that it has no pliers. It took ten minutes of
applying serious force via one of the spanners before the thing would
budge enough to unscrew by hand.

Try the can openerthing on a swiss army knife. It sort of hooks round
the offending knurls and grinds into it in a satisfying manner. Don't
ask me how I know this ect ect.

The only flaw in this otherwise-excellent plan being that Swiss Army
Knife #1 was on the table in the Great Hall of Larrington Towers, while
SAK #2 was in Babbage Central in the same stately home...

I had assumed that the multitool in the trike toolkit was the same as
that in the bike one, as they are both variations on the theme of Topeak
Alien. However they are NOT - the latter has pliers.

They have been swapped...
