    Never rated the Leffe beers much – bar the Radieuse. There are so many nice Belgian beers but expensive here. Well worth visiting Belgium for the beers.

    From what I read somewhere, the second and third officers also “fell” into the same lifeboat.

    No.2 sizes of freehub.7 speed or 8/9/10 speed. You can however fit 7 speed cassete to 8/9/10 speed freehub if you use a spacer.

    Probably not class the occassional use as employees, but CIS should be operated. If dont know payment status thats at 30%. CIS operates on companies too by the way.

    You sure you doing this correctly ? You say that you are not operating CIS on your payment to your subcontractors. This doesn’t sound right.

    If it’s got a Shimano part number as shown in the diagram your LBS should be able to order from Madison.

    I spoke to my wife about this as shes from China and arrived here in July. The problem is that if you help someone after an accident theres a good chance you will be blamed by the person you helped as being the cause of the accident and asked for compo and being stiffed for the hospital bills which it seems the majority of chinese people are afraid of incurring. When your average wage is £1200 per annum being stuck with a £4000 bill is no laughing matter. There have been several well publicised cases in China where the good samaritan has been sued and lost the case, in some instances losing their homes _ i believe that this has occurred in the province where this incident occurred.

    its something that irritates me too. on my way to work i have to cross a junction with a fltered left as well as a double carriageway. so can take several minutes to cross – basically two islands to hang about on. its obvious pedestrians and cyclists (it,s a shared crossing ) come last behind cars. I was in Antwerp a few months ago and noticed this didnt happen there – on a busy crossroads all the lights would turn red at once allowing pedestrians to cross in safety and convenience. but then again belgiums a civilised country for pedestrians and cyclists.

    I had a lot of trouble with 3 customer services at the call centre. As you have discovered they are very polite but completely useless. After 3 complaint letters they finally addressed my problem but it was extremely hard going. I used to dread speaking to them on the phone.

    5 weeks now since I dislocated my shoulder in a crash. Off work, no driving let alone cycling – slowly going mad. Shoulder very stiff with limited movement despite physio. It will be a few weeks before I get back on a bike :(

    I had a similar problem with a belkin router – sometimes could connect sometimes not with pc no.2 and smartphone. It was resetting the privacy settings all the time though weirdly the main pc remained unaffected. In the end changed router – end of problems.

    Why don’t you measure it ? (adjustable spanner round tube.) It will either be 34.9 or 31.8.

    Though looking at slx m661 on wiggle it says its multiband – will fit any size ( comes with shims)

    I had a similar problem with some Geax road type tyres in 26 inch flavour. After immense struggle and variou punctures i managed to get them on . Realising i’d never be able to repair a puncture on them i decided to remove. Hello hacksaw was the eventual answer.

    I had a g reg model with pop up headlights mk2?
    Great car. Only got rid of because of rust . Totally reliable. Big boot . If modern models are half as good it will be a good buy

    hi it took them 2 hours just to get me to the ambulance and then probably another 3 – 4 hrs to get it back in. i had to have a general anaesthetic as it appears that local anaesthesea doesnt have any effect on myself .

    i am not sure what you mean by reduced ?

    i’ll be looking for a physio as well.

    thanks for the advice

    i’ve just joined Autoaid – £39 covers me and the wife (if i was married) and any vehicle I own . Downside – you have to pay up front and claim back, though only heard good things about this.

    Just watched the video. Thank God I’ve got Shimano brakes on my bikes – maybe not as powerful as Avids but a doddle to bleed – no special tools unless you count a 6″ plastic pipe.

    I’ll pass the bad news on to my mate – his new bike with Elixirs desperately need bleeding. I am sure he will be thrilled at all the faff and additional cost.

    i’ve had an old one for ages. Only problems i’ve had are when the battery in a sensor gets low – tends to set it off. Main alarm powered by solar rechargeable lead battery.

    Mines so old it doesn’t meet the new regs – never had any interference – but always losing the damn remotes .

    i used one from a 3/8 drive iirc.

    note the way the threads go or you’ll snap off the threaded bit :oops:

    though you can get replacement spindles.

    I’m with 3. You do not want to ever have reason to contact their customer service if you can help it.

    However they are cheap, which is what keeps me with them. Coverage seems ok – no worse or better than other networks I’ve tried.

    I’d go here first – http://techdocs.shimano.com/techdocs/index.jsp

    get the part number(s)(if available)

    and go to your LBS – they can then order the parts from Madison ( no postal charges usually)
