Jol, don't you own Tour de Ville? Shouldn't you have shitloats of forks?

I think protest and civil disobedience are important if you want to change the world, but I firmly believe that accepting the consequences is an important part of civil disobedience and what gives it its power. Hence why I will respect H.D. Thoreau or Gandhi's followers or the IRA or the men and women who fought in the Spanish Civil War or the White Russians or the kids who took part in the LA, Tottenham, Brixton or Paris riots and not the activist in question.

Chris, did you get someone to proof-read your posts or have you gone back to school to learn spelling? Even the capitalisation is spot on.

I've been running home from the bus stop on E and I felt quite good.

I agree with äsm, university is full of people who shouldn't be there and who are lying and cheating themselves through the courses.

Extension? Yes, please! Why not?

Or the old classic "I couldn't finish my coursework because I had a pregnancy scare."

Oh, yeah, but for getting completely rat-arsed on a Friday night there is always time. Fucking lazy student scum. I can't wait to get out of uni.

Apart from cafeine, from that list I've only ever taken cocaine and well, what can I say, it does make you confident so I guess you're pushing yourself more.

Yeah, I have have spoken to him multiple times today and yesterday and I think the message is sinking in. At first the suggested things like "We can make things work by seeing each other less" and he said he'd pay for counseling.

He will be moving out soon (was planning to anyway). He's obviously unhappy but seems to cope better once the initial shock is over.

Utfs!

Well, Tom Simpson had a one empty and a few full glass capsules of metamphetamines in his jersey when he died.

I only got it after reading it a few times.

These a brushes for grooming. You said you were 16 and he made a paedo joke. Felt quite proud when I figured it out.

Despite the difficulty of servicing surely sealed keep the crap out for longer?

Yes, that is the point of sealed hubs.

Invitation? What the fuck is that for?

Cavendish said the following about his teammates: "They're superb, really intelligent guys and efficient too."

He makes them sound like nuclear physicists.

I feel a great disturbance in the power.

On the other hand, you made crivens look a bit retarded.

Hmm, yeah but as you said it would have to be an awesome road hub if it is worth spending £60 on a fixxer.

Fixxed:

if it's a normal Shimano type using a Surly Fixxer

How does it stop the freehub from turning when you resist the pedals?

Right, the wedding is next weekend. I have all the tunes.

The last thing I need is DJ software for my Mac. I mean, iTunes is almost good enough but every now and again I would like fast forward a little bit into the song rather than start playing at the beginning. Also, being able to cue up songs is nice.

Can anyone recommend something basic? Doesn't need to be free. Advanced features like pitch control, beat match and whatnot are not required.

British Waterways really, really don't want to close the canal for cyclists but with behaviour like that it is looking that way.

The same sort of incident reports and discussions are a regular feature in the LCC mailing lists.

Obviously, a track hub would be a much better option.

There are two ways of installing the cassette to the hub:

If you have a freehub it will be impossible to convert to fixed gear. If you have a thread-on hub you can make what is called a 'suicide hub'. The suicide refers to the fact that you can't use a lockring and the cog will come off if you pull a hard skid. You can make it a little bit more secure by using loctite to glue the cog onto the threads but that's not really safe, just a little bit less than certain death. If you go down this route I recommend you use 2 breaks.

Just found this, will be very useful.

Do you use a proxy? I'm asking because I get a "Not available in your country".

Has anyone found a good video of yesterday's prologue? Can't seem to find one.

Edit: Duh! Found one: http://www.velonews.tv/ Click on videos.

You are free to not watch the movie.

There is a lot of media hype about many products/personalities. I don't see how this one is different.

Dude, there are many movies out there that are crap. I gotten over it.

On the other hand, I'm looking forward to seeing this one.

LFGSS is a very amorphous and anarchic place. I don't think there has been any concerted campaigning or lobbying in the name of the forum.

However, many individuals are active in other cycling groups.

I have actually never seen/spoken to anyone who has done this disc hub thing. Let us know how it works out.
