YES! To be honest, if it was wrong this time round I was going to offer to get it modified for you at work. We do carbon here.

It's been pointed out that this is properly in UKIP colours. That might be a good enough reason to bin the yellow saddle :D

Result for McLaren. Let's hope the Honda unit can stay together for them. Depending how much Mercedes emptied their sump into the fuel stream, uh, I mean turned the dial up for quali, Red Bull might not be far off pace either.

Australia, you hilarious jokers!

I think Norway is my first choice, would listen again. Romania second for being so ridiculous, Belgium third just because I enjoyed it. Sweden were slick.

Highlights: gorilla, big fat gay hater with three voices.

Norway is so close to being a good song... but they've missed it.

YES. There's a Eurovision thread!

Don't think Portugal got the Eurovision memo this year.

Edit: lolwtfdoublepost

Yeah, was discussed quite a few pages back. Probably closer to the beginning of the thread than the current end if you wanted to find the discussion.

Well this did get finished, but it's been sitting in my kitchen unused for some time. Knee status is worse than it was, so motivation to take it to work for lunchtime rides is low. Should do this though, because it's an awesome ride. And I'm starting to get fat.

If it's like mine, the rocker cover doesn't quite clear the heater box when I lower it in, but it'll go straight in with it off! Might just be to clear something in the engine bay.

Can anyone recommend a good knee surgeon? Had an arthroscopy for a complicated meniscus tear about a year ago which has made my knee a lot worse. I can't ride a bike at all now. I've lost faith in the local surgeons to me, they never really instilled a lot of confidence in me.

Was looking at Andy Williams or Bill Ribbans, both sports specialists, but neither operate through the NHS any more. South of England / London area preferred.

That's how I understood it.

All a load of complete bollocks if you ask me, though.

Wide-ass Monkeybars FTW!

Is this bike Corima 4-spoke era?

Either way, needs 4-sperk at front!

Even with proper paint stripper it's a real ball ache of a job.

Don't use a hand drill! Doubt a bike shop would, surely (hopefully?) more likely to use a drill press. I drilled mine that way. Just be sure you're going to get it right though, because the original fork is basically irreplaceable.

You can use any 1" threaded forks in these frames as long as the steerer is the right length. You'll just have to change the headset for a 1" threaded one instead of 26mm. I think I had to shim the head tube as well.

But why isn't it called TJ Maxx over here? Why did it have to get a different name when they brought it over here?

Actually, don't answer that. I'd rather stew and rant about until the day I die than know the real answer.

Forever aloan. I doant lyk the barZ!

Would straight riser though, with thoase wyte gripZ.

Loving that CCCP head badge. If you find my XB3 build thread there's some useful information on there about the headset and bottom bracket.

I've gone back a few pages but didn't find what I was looking for. What's the word on the street for in-ear plugs with a Lightning connector? Currently use Sennheiser CX200 and looking for something similar but with the Lightning connector already on them. Don't know if I'm ready to go full Bluetooth yet.

Sounds epic. Straight sloping top tube front to back and complete rainbow spectrum or gtfo!

Zippo lighter fuel on a bit of cotton wool. Lifts it right off.

There's no logical reason why it would be bad, unless it has been damaged. The fibres don't degrade with time and neither does epoxy. Bonded frames like TVTs might make me a bit more nervous, but they're stuck together with the same stuff as Vitus 979s and they won't generally come apart unless you heat them right up.

I'd just cut all the spokes and start again. With a bit of luck you'll get one or two where the nipple will turn and you'll be able to measure the length. The rims and alloy flanges should polish back up and they'll build back up into some really nice wheels. I think @7ven was able to get some replacement old-gauge spokes.
