  1. Hmmmm. Something about the design is making me squint a bit. Not sure what it is yet. Edit. I know what it is. The dropouts and how the wheel isn't centred in them, but on a lower section of the separate "dropout". Imo it looks as if the wheel is sitting in the derailleur hanger, and is almost floating under the dropout.
  2. That's a rad build, man. Budget beating performance. Looks either like an SB Slade trail or a Kona...
  3. Tablesaw, router table etc etc. If it's not hand-held or hand-actuated, it needs a dead-switch. IMO. I've seen too many instances where just one thing needed to have gone differently for it to be catastrophic.
  4. IMO powered over cordless for a table saw use case. The battery operated ones are great for on the go cutting, but the added benefit of being able to use an inline switch and a dead-switch solution when you've got a powered saw makes it FAR safer to use than a battery powered one in the same role.
  5. Gravity takes over after sooner than you think. ????
  6. 120 ish (indicated) being pulled down m19 in a bunch, ages ago, on a roadie. 100 plus down fields hill, tailgating a truck on my atx 830. He pulled me almost all the way to the m7 off-ramp. Bloody scary, though. Lately, on my MTB... Not sure. Last time I checked my top speed I think I was hitting 70 on the old Tokai exit (post fire, when there was the divert)
  7. I think they're barking up the wrong tree, tbh. They should have penalised them under not using a mandated pit stop. Changing tyres in the pit lane pre-restart isn't an issue imo. The race was red flagged, with fewer laps and so on. It's just that everyone else had a pit stop in the "previous" race.
  8. Yeah!! I'm all for it. I think Merc banked on blasting into the lead and just pulling away, which they (Ham, at least) were doing in the beginning. Choose Party Mode, add downforce, run the engine as it can be run for extended periods of time. But then, even though it can when in clean air, it can't in dirty air. And losing that tow in the straits was helluva damaging to their chances. They're gonna either have to improve cooling (can they, now, though?) or choose a lower engine mode to reduce load on the cooling system and allow the drivers to fight. Vvery interesting. I'm all for it. Sainz, though... I feel for him. Massive success at Mclaren, now off to Ferrari. Shame.
  9. Then say that, man. Saying someone's post is disingenuous and should be judged from whence it came is NOT the same as what you've just said, here. No, F1 may not be broken in YOUR eyes, but heck, was this not an excellent example of what happens when the domination isn't there anymore? If the rule changes have this effect on future races, F1 definitely has been fixed, in a sense.
  10. DUDE. That was such an excellent game.
  11. How was his post disingenuous? Apart from saying Lando instead of Gasly, it's 100% correct. The emotion was palpable. We all loved the Mercs being on the back foot, and there was some real racing for the podium positions. Far more entertaining than previous races even this season
  12. Hahaha yeah. To be fair though, they've never really needed to test that aspect of their aero in those conditions in party mode. They haven't really been in that position before... ????
  13. And we now see that the Merc isn't that strong when behind other cars. Party mode doesn't work well with dirty air. And agree. Pierre needs to stay at AT.
  14. Did anyone see how klapped the AT's tyres were, and then the McLaren looking like they had a set of 5 lap olds. Those McLarens def treat their tyres well.
  15. Hahahah ja his pig. Chows oil, but costs sod all to run. The motor does indeed look neat. My frame is ready to be sprayed, so it'll be going in, soon. To say I'm excited is a little bit of an understatement
  16. Rookie numbers. ???????????? Edit. On that road, though, 89 would be poessssssssfast. 89 on a straight, notsomuch
  17. To give the Mercs a 10 spot grid penalty. ????????????
  18. He doesn't have one anymore, I'm afraid. But you'll find some other lekka stuff in his garage. Including my xl engine (thought it was an xr, but it has the xl head) and his xr mid-rebuild, as well as a couple other nuggets
  19. No, it's not. I'd take SLX over the NX any day, to be honest.
