Smell my fingers!

Lick it clean??

Dont worry about it. Its mainly there to make sure the LHS crank arm is on the axle enough. If its in the right place, a little pin in the plate slots into the small hole the axle.

DK, bet you regret starting this thread after all the bigotry thats been spouted on here!

On his day off Gok Wan is Davros.

Why should a subscriber have any benefits beyond having the mag posted directly to them and being protected from any cover price increases for the year?

STW are trying to reward your loyalty for committing to buy the mag for a year by giving you a shop discount and STILL thats not good enough!

Some people need to get in touch with reality on here.

<bangs head against wall>

willard – So you’re 2.5km from the exchange??
Hmmm, at a push you’ll get 3meg tops!

If you look carefully most services are advertised at "up to 8meg". Although many suppliers previously left out the "up to", but they aren’t now.
A recent Ofcom investigation into ADSL Max (up to 8meg service) found that the nationwide average download speed was 3.6meg.

This is basically the speed as it leaves the box in the exchange, but its not usually possible to get more than about 7meg due to data losses and other stuff. The speed of your service is dependant on several factors (this applies to BT copper lines, what 90% of people have).
1) Length of the copper line into your house from the exchange.
2) The quality of your copper line.
3) The contention (number of users all using the same ‘box’ in the exchange.

There is a finite length of line before the broadband (DSL) signal degrades to the extent that its not possible for it work reliably, taking into account the other factors also. Its also very difficult to predict accurately what speed you should get, hence the "up to".
Im about 600m from my local exchange and usually get 6-6.5meg download speeds.
If you want to get a decent idea of what you can expect to get, go to http://www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php
and you’ll get a reasonably accurate idea of your lines capabilities.

Clearer now?

Mods, please end this thread.

Why the big hoo haa? Its no different from seeing a sofa you bought 2 months ago reduced by £100 in the sale.
Sh!t happens. MTFU.

Heres me thinking you subscribed to the mag because you liked it and were interested in the subject matter.

Its a shame most of the info / posts by this user have been lost in the forum Hack alst year. Unless it can be recovered?

Get a goodridge braided hose kit for the rear. About £25ish…

nothing to see here, move along…..

TBH I’ve been there a few times and never had any issues. Although there are other trails there, i wouldn’t chose to ride them if there were lots of people around. Go during the week when there aren’t many people aboput and be discrete where you ride!

I still dont see why you cant cancel the whole order and start again. Goods not despatched yet, so surely it can be cancelled?
Hope you get it sorted BTW.

Possibly 130mm, IIRC

Whoever said F1 cars were pretty? 599 please!

Is fresh water less “bouncy” then? :?

Hot air i think! Oh and possibly bovine excrement.

Aaaw, i thought this was going to be a post about bullseye!

I give up, clearly dog owners and cyclists CANNOT live in perfect harmony. Perhaps Tony Blair could look into this, its probably easier than trying to sort out the “problems” in Gaza.

Your whole thread was useless, besides who’s still here?

Im even more intolerant of idiots like ro in real life……

Who’s that on my bridge?

ro – where exactly was i being agressive? i was merely offering the oppertunity for you to discuss your theories further.
Clearly you feel the need to pigeonhole everyone on here rather than keep an open mind……

For your info disc’s DO have a place in normal riding, i’d much rather be over breaked (esp since im a “chubby-person”) than underbraked any time. Discs are generally much more consistant performance wise than V’s (esp when its wet). Dont get me wrong V’s were a HUGE improvement over old style cantis. Surely disc’s are just part of progress? In much the same sense as 27spd drivetrains and 5″ of oil damped suspension travel is.

God its like Dec 2008 all over again!

Funny how the same people get embroiled up in the basically the same thread all over again.

Cyclists – see dog, take the appropriate action to be seen / heard and be prepared to react accordlingly to dog.
Dog walkers – see cyclist, try and control your dog or warn cyclist accordingly.

If people were actually a bit more aware and considerate, this sort of situation wouldn’t arise. The fact that it does says more about people than dogs.

Ro you are growing to be a fine little troll arent you. Your comments are neither useful or welcome. :!:

If you have nothing useful to add then please **** orf and try mlehworld instead, i think you’ll fit in nicely there. :roll:

The OP asked for help with a disc brake issue. he didnt ask why you think they are no use for general riding and why fat people are dumb. Im 17st and 6’5″, perhaps you’d like to meet up sometime to discuss the scientific links between waist size and IQ?

Back on topic, sounds like some sort of alignment issue. Either the caliper or perhaps the rotor?

titusrider – i’d be inclined not to ride it, if it suddenly goes, so could your chance of fatherhood! Get in touch with Titus and explain it to them. They may be aware of the issue already, or they may offer you a new frameset at reduced price. I had a Marin
Oh and Duck tape WILL NOT stop the frame going suddenly! Bloody stupid advice if you ask me!!

3rd getting the threads chased before anymore “drastic” action…..

Just wait until its travelled downwards…….

Whats that Jonny Cash song called again? :lol:

Yeah it all went quiet after the great forum hack. Lucky for him!

Last i heard was he was in St Helens on the IW, not far from me if help still required?

If you’re not sure, have a look at the Shimano website (I assume your mate has a shimano hub). Search for the hub and it should say in the guide somewhere what side BBs they are. Once you know the size, pop round to your LBS who’ll probably have a packet of them on the shelf.

Phew, glad i missed that. If it had been yesterday (quiet on the phones) i probably would have been in deep do do by now.
Whats A&A stand for?

BAN HIM!

Oh and sfb got a ban for being sfb.

We have no problems with people having their own beliefs, as long as they dont conflict with ours.
This is how Nazi Germany started!

My understanding is that the NIP has to be received within 14days of the offence.
If you’re lucky you may get offered to take a speeding awareness class and not get the points instead. I didn’t :cry:

Sorry, but the exige with the bike rack on it looks ridiculous!

Its probably one of the blades my mate made last week whilst still a bit hungover.
Probably find some sandwiches encased in the resin where it failed!

And breathe…

Agree with you max, its pretty ridiculous suing because you hit a bump in the track.
