Sounds like you're back at work and in the swing of things again. That was a very long tour of the southern part of the U.S. I am sure you saw a lot of cool things, though.

You're right to be worried about the fragility of the little plastic thing: of the five Victorias I know, that plastic thing has snapped on two. Easily replaced, though, and our supplier holds it in stock as spares. More seriously, check the way in which the round bearing-thing on the wheel proper (the thing that the end of the footman clips onto) is fastened to the wheel. If yours is bolted through the wheel, you're probably fine. On early models like mine and most of those i've seen, it's just screwed into the wheel, and on mine and three others that screw unscrews when plying. One solution is to bed the screw in the wheel with glue, but my husband is going to try to mount it on a bolt. Also, watch for fibres trapped in the moving bits of that bearing race. Sorry about this! I'm thinking of saving up for a Bosworth Journey Wheel now :-) I’m very fond of my Victoria… sometimes.
