Poor sod.

Whaaat? You don't even have a 24h Cone Warehouse in Swindon? How provincial.

In fact, I went to Jackson's last night and I have two cones going spare. Pickup from E3.

Go to Jackson's Cone 24h-Warehouse on Commercial Road. Open 24 hours for all your cone needs.

I'm definately interested.
But as a bit of an amateur I think I'll need a few pointers on where to get the stuff you guys are talking about above!

For tools go to chainreactions or wiggle.

How much money have you got to spend on the wheels? SJS Cycle, cyclebasket and outspoken cycles are good for parts.

The stuff that SJS stock is, in my experience, never crap. Their hubs, which are also branded as Formula and System Ex (and a few others), are alright for the money. So are the Open Sports.

If you buy the components individually they are cheaper - look up the prices on their site.

Hey guys, how about Sunday June 14 for the next class?

It's a European frame so it is more than likely that it is a 700C - but to be 100% sure, put in a wheel of that size and see how much clearance there is.
Compare these two photos:

The one on the left is a Raleigh that was designed for 27", the one on the right is for 700C (they are the same set of wheels).

I'm running a wheel building class in mid-June if you want to learn mechanics and save some £££ on new wheels.

Sandblasting is included in a powder coat. They don't do two tone afaik.

Yep, that's the one.

I'm doing a wheel building session in mid-June - stick yourself on the list if you fancy learning it. You could get the SJS wheelset about £40 cheaper if you build it yourself from components.

The list of lists is also handy.

I agree with Slag, this guy is doing nothing wrong. The bikes aren't amazing but they are cheap - get over it.

There are lots of non-premium goods in the world; do you want to go on a crusade against everything not-so-great?

BB stands for bottom bracket.

==Sorry for the spammy question but the student forums at uni are a bit rubbish. I thought I try my luck here.===

So I'm going over the past papers for my Computer Hardware exam on Friday and have come across this question. It seems that there is a lot of marks for a relatively simple question.

I believe the answers to be:

a) We send data on the data wire which will be read alternating by FF1 and FF2 (due to the inverter on the clock wire between FF1 and FF2), ie, when FF1 reads the data, FF2 does not. The bars over WE indicate that the block is active when the clock is 0V not 5V.

b) at the first clock change, FF2 is activated and reads 1 off the data wire

at the second clock change FF1 is activated and reads 1 off the data wire

c) The inverter before FF1 means that the activation is the opposite. FF1 and FF2 read data off the wire at different times.

What I'm not sure about is whether it matters that the data voltage goes up and down in the middle of the clock phase. I thought that data is only read when the clock changes.

Is that right?

Alright, lets aim for mid-June.

so i could be as well off just buying a single user licence and updating both the desktop and the laptop?

I am more than willing to pay the money and do it legitimately, so may well go down that route - may even take the laptop into the mac store and get them to do the upgrade on there and then take the discs home to upgrade the desktop

I love the forum - the fact that I can get simple straightforward advice on so many issues.

cheers y'all

In order for this to work you will need the same processor architecture on both computers. Older Macs use PowerPC and newer ones use Intel. I'm doubtful you can get Leopard in PPC.

I;m pretty sure that OS X does not know the concept of a license - there is virtually no copy protection. I think they do it because the are really a hardware company and Windows' validation is pissing people off no end.

I have a 10.4 disk but have lent my Leopard one to someone and can't get it back, too.

Making a recording of me and my little brother going "Help! Mom, help! He's gonna get us! Help!", hiding in my closet and playing it when we heard her come home. Terrible!

Definitely the most cruel thing I've ever heard! Evil kids.

Yes.

Seriously, I'm going there now dropping off a QR skewer.

Dibs!

I'm going on holiday on May 30, so would have to be afterwards. I think you'll get away with the spokes .7mm too long.

Mullerbugs, if we get together another 2-3 people for the 23rd we'll do it then.

It does have a "enter your own value" type thing. In the column where you select the the number of spokes, there is an empty box at the bottom where you can enter your own number - even decimals.

Then again, the place is depicted as a happy skippy community of dogooders, so i'm imagineing a kind of utipoia with no crime where these flimsy metal sheds are secure enough, perhaps you are being a bit more realistic.

I grew up in this part of Germany (100km away) and you really don't need anything else. My parents leave their cars and front doors unlocked and park their bikes unlocked out in the front of the house.

It is a socially conservative area, which has surprisingly large support for Germany's Green party though. The city next to Vauban, Freiburg, is the centre of Germany's solar panel industry and has the only, AFAIK, Green major of any city in Germany.

For Earth Day Google set their background colour to be black; this however was more of an awareness thing as they recognised - in accordance with Tynan - that LCD displays do not save energy when displaying a dark colour.
