  1. I do 700m each way...
  2. Who is going to take one for the team and see how far you have to go to get a warning point...? Anybody... in the interest of science...
  3. I think it is after the upgrades that all my content has vanished... anybody else have this?
  4. I'm leaning towards the RD going into the spokes... I had a wheel look very similar to this when it happened to me...
  5. I have been wandering about this for a while. The whole carbon system looks cool and all, but I was thinking of a more generic approach with timing belts from card. There are various standards with various sizes and all the strength etc are given. The only disadvantage if these is that the cogs have no place for stones etc to go if they get caught in there where the carbon system does not crush stuff. With regard to splitting the frame. I have decided that the simplest would be to get one with back strut cross section which is as circular as possible and taking a hack saw to it and making an insert that is then bolted in place when the belt in in. The last problem is the cogs then and I still want to do a quick calc to see if I can 3D print it, otherwise use up some of my points on the CNC. On a side note, there used to be emergency fan belts that could be split and joined, only problem is that they were friction belts. If there was enough interest I think somebody could adapt it to be similar to a timing belt setup.

  8. What is the deal with booties?
  9. 75kg Position: Back, but not over the saddle Tyres: Crossmark- around 2bar or more. Wheels: Mavic Crosstrail. True as far as I can tell. Shock: Axon Air. Don't see how it can be the shock as it happens on smooth roads too, ie where the shock isn't moving (What I can see). As far as I can tell it is simply the wheel not having grip and sliding- maybe I am expecting too much?
  10. So I have a problem whilst going downhill- The front wheel tends to not stay under the bike much, i.e. it is very keen to slide sideways. I don't enjoy the feeling and don't think it should be. Question is, other than the tyre choice, what influenced this? It is purely the head angle? Shock setting? I am guessing it is a combination of things, but which one would be the easiest to change?
  11. If you get it wrong or under certain conditions it works too well and it is nearly impossible to get the bolt out. Especially bad if it gets old and hard- then it works more like glue. It is also very dependant on how much you put on and most people put waaaay too much and the bold won't leave the hole again, except on the end of a drill...
  12. Hi Hub Any ideas other than the awesome and expensive thule bags. I am specifically looking at the 40L duffle and 32L cross over? I want to be able to use it for a bit of everything and should be small enough for carry on luggage... http://static-thule-com.r.worldssl.net/ProductImages/Classification_1_root/Image_Hierarchy/ImageFolder_5111/ImageFolder_188851/TCBP217_main_sized_618x408.jpg http://static-thule-com.r.worldssl.net/ProductImages/Classification_1_root/Image_Hierarchy/ImageFolder_5111/ImageFolder_188851/TCDP1_main_sized_618x408.jpg
  13. Whatever happened to that group/idea? If you don't know what this is about then it is clearly not for you...
  14. Beware of loctite, it is stuff made for people who can't assemble stuff properly or for use on stuff that wasn't designed properly in the fist place...
  15. Wow, kudos to the bus driver. I had a vaguely similar experience, but all I know is when I woke up the guy next to me had grabbed my leg and it felt like the bus was going to tip over... It was cold raining and on a roadworks section. When I woke up I didn't know what was more scary, the guy grabbing my leg or the tipping feeling. Anyway, he let go when he woke up too.
  16. My dad got a nokia with a bluetooth HRM in the box. It is a polar and says nokia on it, but it works with my droid... Battery life isn't that great with the bluetooth though
  17. What rom you going to go for? Think titanium is the best though...

  19. Should I invite her to gmail... Google wants to know... then we could chat, wow, so many opportunities!
  20. I found a 'good' picture of comrade julias which I attached: http://media.2oceansvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/julius-malema.jpeg Lets see if she replies...
  21. Haha, the play button is covering the toys...
  22. Ok, this is what I have so far: My dearest Joy I am so happy that you replied to me, I was starting to get worried. I have been rejected so many times and I don't know if I can take it any more. It feels like the whole world is out to get me and I have nearly given up on true love. I am 26 years old and because I don't have a girlfriend I spend a lot of time in the gym. I don't know if you know what a gym is, but it is where I go to build my muscles which I hope will make me more attractive to my hopefully future wife. I am so sorry to hear about you being a refugee. I don't actually know what that is exactly but I have seen photos and it scares me to that that somebody as lovely as you is living in a place like that. I have hear of Dakar before, I think they have a race there or something and it is in the desert if I remember correctly. Due to my heart being broken so often I find I forget stuff quite easily, so I do a apologise. But I also know that if I find true love my memory will return. But now I want to know more about you and if I can save you from that terrible place. Because I have been so alone I have spent a lot of time at work and have made lots of money and I just knew that it would come to good use one day. I feel that day might be near! Sincerely yours always ****** Suggestions?
  23. Makes me think of that episode in the office: "Every 3 seconds a man falls victim to internet fraud, that man is Michael"
  24. Ok, suggestions for a reply... I want to go for heartbroken and looking for the real love of my life... can't decide if kids are too much and should i send a picture back? Gosh, my heart is fluttering!
  25. Here it is: Dearest, Thanks for your message. How are you doing ? i hope you are doing great ! Well to be sincere, i am short of words because i do not really know how to express my feelings and situation here, i am really going through some difficulties here in Senegal. To start with, My name is Joy Johnson from ivory coast, 5.3ft tall, fair in complexion, (never married before) and now I am 23 years of age residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country. I am seriously looking for an honest man who can show me true love and someone who can show me concerned and attention never to betray me. Age or distance does not matter , i only need a true love or friendship. About my parents, My late father Dr David Johnson was the managing director of Mavococoa and Associates (Ltd), and he was the Special adviser to the former Head of State (late Dr Robert Guei) before the rebels attacked our house early one morning and killed my mother and my father in cold blood.I was the only survived because i was away from home during the incident, and I managed to make my way to a nearby country Senegal, where I am leaving now as a refugee in a refugee camp.I would like to know more about you. Your likes and dislikes, your hobbies and what you are doing presently. I will tell you more about myself in my next mail. Attached here are my photos before the civil war. I would also like to see more of your pictures if you have any.. I will send you a telephone number to reach me on the next email ! I am for real ,so be honest with me so that i can visit you soonest after knowing you better! Your Forever Joy Johnson I was not expecting it... EDIT: Added picture that was easily found on many sites... that she sent me as her own... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VKUf5dGgQY/T7E7Vc42hmI/AAAAAAAABXw/btr1mnsmM7I/s320/1.JPG
