unless you're particularly into PC video games or have a windows/apple programme you use a lot, get something without an installed OS then get Linux.. It's free, constantly updated and can do pretty much everything you'll need without much fuss.

in my eperience Linux is a good OS but needs a hands on approach and a link to the Linux forum for help, which is often. So many niggles that are non existent in Win7.

build your own PC. Awesome satisfaction and cheaper too.

road are smaller flange, quick release.
track are larger flange, bolt on.

thus track are slightly stiffer due the the larger flange and bolt on rather than use wuick release.

however i just read the Phill Wood online catalog. You can do it too ! it's not hard.

Ashley, you having a bad day ? your posts today ain't good boss. Insensitive angry posts, and there is just no need for that is there.

Velocio knows very well all this, for me, alias or not (which i could not know anwyay), a bad post is ignored, passed over.
What's the problem ?

Also, Will is correct, you are pointing the finger GA2G, by naming VanUden. It's not hard to back track his recent posts and see who your talking about. Fuzzy logic.

the spoke holes are coined, but as far as i know, it doesn't matter what rims you use with any hub flange, including Phil Wood Kiss-offs.

It's easy. You dad gives you the funds, you buy houses, charge rent, make more cash, buy more houses, charge more rent.

that's why everyone is doing it and why everyone is filthy rich.

not furniture but waheey, pretty cool

my table has a puncture.

:D

most annoying thing is the guy is a very successful property developer. He is actually stinking rich.

Completely off topic, and I have no idea why I noticed this and laughed...but...

6 numbers you got in that little paragraph! I'll get my coat.

oh yea. Does that make me super cool ?

90's Ambrosio rims, Chorus hubs and 8spd cassette, Deda tyres, 1875g;

modern Mavic Open Pro, Ambrosio hubs and 10spd Centaur cassette, Deda tyres, 1460g;

Pity it doesn't make much difference in performance.

really depends where the weight is on the wheel though.

Let off mdcc-Tester, his useful insightful contributions to this forum far outweigh his sometimes over zealous geekyness. He's actually a really good guy to talk to in real life too.
I for one appreciate his comments.

£70 is silly cheap.

no need to re-create a smooth uniform surface, like they were from new.
Doing that is a waste of time and effort and money and go knows what else, and you'll acheive nothing by doing it.
Braking will remain the same.

Just clean with a scourer and be done with it.

the systolic is high. Normal is 120 or thereabouts, but 1 blood pressure reading is nothing to go by.
An accurate reading is an average over a given period of time.

Just after watching the match today i was serving a customer, they asked "do you know who won ?"
but before i could say anything, we were both distracted by a car came screaming past, people hanging out the windows shouting out loud with German flags in their hands.
So i said "there you go" before everyone started laughing.
Epic win = depressing situation made really funny.

Just brazing over the threads and re-threading is done a lot in the car industry, particularly in old car restorations where machining an old part is too expensive.
definitely possible, and probably worth talking to a car restoration company perhaps.
I know there is one along park lane somewhere

Mystery at the monastery ends as CCTV reveals chamber of secrets' daring thief

 Thursday  19 June 2003 02.24 BST                         

To the monks of Mont Saint-Odile, perched high in the Vosges mountains, it seemed like the work of the devil. During nearly two years of doubt and mystification, 1,100 ancient books disappeared from the monastery library without any trace of a break-in. Yesterday, in a court in Saverne, Alsace, the mystery reached its conclusion when the thief, Stanislas Gosse, 33, was given a suspended sentence of 18 months for a burglary that had echoes of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose and a touch of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The judge was told of a lost map, a secret passage and a hidden entrance through a cupboard, all finally revealed by routine modern technology - CCTV cameras.
But the thief, who baffled priests and detectives between August 2000 and May 2002, said he was driven by pure passion for the priceless books, filling his little Strasbourg flat with massive volumes dating back to the XVth century. Some, with wooden covers and weighing several kilos, he had carried off on his bicycle.
Gosse, a teacher at a Strasbourg engineering school and a former naval officer, faced a rare charge of "burglary by ruse and escalade", a reference to the tortuous climb in and out of the locked library.
He had found the route after discovering a forgotten map in public archives which revealed the secret access from the monastery attic.
The map was a key exhibit in the trial. The attic, reached by a daring climb up exterior walls, led to a steep, narrow stairway and then the secret chamber. A hidden mechanism opened up the back of one of five cupboards in the library. The plans suggested that the secret route to the library, once the monastery's common room, served in medieval times to spy on the monks' conversations.
Inside the library, Gosse spent hours by candlelight picking out volumes, some of which he stored in the attic.
In an atmosphere of general suspicion among the nuns and monks of Mont Saint-Odile, the librarian, Alain Donius, called the police to report that entire shelves had been cleared. But though the locks were changed and the library door reinforced with steel, books continued to disappear at a steady rate during the police inquiry.
Gosse was so confident he left a rose on the main entrance door to tease Father Donius after a particularly successful visit. Gosse told the court: "I'm afraid my burning passion overrode my conscience. It may appear selfish, but I felt the books had been abandoned. They were covered with dust and pigeon droppings and I felt no one consulted them any more. There was also the thrill of adventure - I was very scared of being found out."
The mystery was finally solved when police installed a hidden video camera while the monks and nuns attended their Pentecost services. As night fell, the police watched Gosse fill three suitcases with books. They arrested him while he was still carrying the rope he needed to climb down the outer walls.
In his flat, they discovered he had, on some books, carefully covered up the monastery's bookplates with his own personal labels.
Gosse's counsel, Cathy Petit, said her client had taken great care of the books and even restored some of them. She requested he got a community service sentence to help the monks catalogue their treasures, but the judge added fines and damages of 17,000 euros (£11,835) to the suspended prison term.
The public prosecutor, Jean Dissler, said the archbishop of Strasbourg and Father Donius had forgiven Gosse and they wanted him to continue as a teacher, a request granted by the court. They have also told him he can come back to the library - but only through the front door.

awesome story. the last bit where the monastery librarian requested he keep his job as a teacher i found particularly inspiring and the fact he could come back, through the front door :D

well, the connection is just look after your chain regularly.

I oil Sir Scoble, often.
At £2 per chain it's just cheaper to replace them.

:d

That frame is a bloody corker it is.

wet weather ruining chain?!

i went through 3 last winter. gotta be a connection somewhere

if not sell the hub as-is, definitely get sold then me thinks.

What bars are you sporting in that picture ? (ishould dotheresearchmyselfbutgoglingitseemssomuchtroublewhenyoucantellmeinstead)

I should've been quicker with the shorts. Size too big, but I'm about to quit smoking next week.
