    Brake and Gear outer?

    EDIT: Rohloff confuses it by using Brake outer with Gear inner.

    At my work, we studied the original of that with an eye on the dangers of the fires.

    In the US they just drop a whole bloody Turkey in a pot of boiling oil, over a gas ring.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    No, I have just been disabusing you of this notion on the Co-Op thread.

    It is not winter.

    No, no, no, no.

    Nope.

    cfinnimore – I think even the most pessamistic of us would agree; before we get to winter, we must pass-through autumn.

    Depending on the model I’d guess it’s just means you need a Normal spring [as opposed to a fork that’s got a Firm, or Soft spring fitted].

    Most companies sold the same fork with different springs available as aftermarket options for Fattypuffs and Thinnifers

    Impressively bright for sure Mr shin print, but hammering that AA at 4.6A means it’s got a runtime of about 10 minutes!

    Dropped mine 3 feet onto a tiled floor the other week. Now it’s go a slightly smooshed corner to the replaceable case. [Booo hoo]

    A few weeks before I dropped it face down on to a similar surface, but because the case projects a half-a-mm past the screen – nothing, nada, nowt. Made a damn good “Bang” though, and battery came out. [Sob sob]

    Try that with an iPhone, or whatever. We give our engineers Nexus’, and a lot of my friends have iPhones. It seems to be you’ve got about a 30% chance of breaking most phones glass in a year. Not seem a broken Nokia though in bloody ages.

    My friend bought Gore – it fitted her a treat.

    Sounds like she is a similar build to you.

    As others have said – there is no miracle material, unless it’s bloody cold outside, with dry air, it doesn’t take very much for membranes to be overwhelmed.

    The only material I heard might be able to cope is Paramo, but IDK if they do bike stuff.

    Back in the day*, I was tidying my room as a good boy should. I was trying to make my dad happy. Back then I used to use his spare HiFi gear, and that week I had a NAD Power Envelope amp sitting on my desk.

    I stood on the chair, and started to tidy my bookshelf [above the amplifier]. During this process, a tiny nut [that I had salvaged from something I took apart the day before, probably] was dislodged, and scooted across the shelf.

    I could have caught it** but I eyed it with disinterest as it rolled along, dropped off, fell, hit the top of the amp, rotated around 90 degrees, fell through the casework vents aaaaannnnnd – shorted a power transistor to ground.

    Bang. Dead Amp.

    This was a week or so after I’d tried to bridge the NAD 3130 and blown that up too.

    Some time later, I was blasting out some music in the bedroom, when the vintage ST-88 Sony tuner wobbled off the top of the drawer. Normally it would have fallen harmless to the floor, about 2 feet, perhaps landed on a pile of clothes. But no, the front had fallen off a drawer a few hours before, it was sat on the floor with the handle facing upwards. Clearly, it totalled the face of the tuner.

    About 10 years later, I found I still had the Sony in my possession, and started fixing it up for Dad. About a day after I had it all stripped down a rabbit slipped past my defences and made it to the bedroom, where it proceeded to chew the **** out of all the woodwork for the case.

    I gave up. It’s gone in the bin.

    Lastly, and more OT – I remember going OTB for the first time, on a steep slope down from my house. I had plenty of time to consider exactly how much this was going to hurt, before I hit the deck. It seemed to take ages!

    *When I was a young boy, knee-high to a pig :

    **Fast reactions, frequently drop stuff and catch it before it fallen a foot or so.

    It should have been toughened glass if it was a shelf.

    I thought toughened glass was pretty resistant to heat too, but I may be wrong.

    So, owning a gun is a right, and converting a rifle to full auto is cool in the US, eh?

    Meanwhile, this happens to kids who play at guns in school:

    A Louisiana high school student has been arrested for using a mobile app to simulate shooting his classmates. The app overlays an FPS-style gun and UI over a real background seen through the device’s camera. The student tried it out and then unwisely posted a video of it on YouTube. Another student’s parent saw the video and reported it to authorities. Major Wolfe of the local police said, “You can’t ignore it. We don’t know at what time that game becomes reality. He said it was a result of him being frustrated and tired of being bullied. He said that he had no intentions of hurting anybody. We have to take all threats seriously and we have no way of knowing that without investigating and getting to the bottom of it. With all the school shooting we’ve had in the United States, it’s just not a very good game to be playing at this time.” The boy is now facing criminal charges for terrorizing and interference of the operation of a school.

    I like my 520 but I miss the flash LED [mostly as a torch]. Might be worth bearing in mind if you use that feature a lot.

    M+S Jeans here – not faded on the butt after 5 years or something.

    In fact right now I’m wearing a pair of uuuber baggy M+S shorts that are at least 10 years old. I have ripped them in a few places but they are not quite nearly worn out yet [though some of the fabric has thinned].

    10 bloody years – rain, shine, mud and a 200 washes by now I’d guess!

    I’m sure read somewhere once ford bought an original mini when it came out, took it apart and concluded they couldn’t even buy the materials for the purchase price of the car.

    I was taught that last year, and I’d say it’s true. I’ll see if I can get an answer from an Auto guy as-to the markup on a car. The guys talking about the R+D costs are right, some cars are in development for 10 years, all-in.

    The Freelander Mk 1, OTOH, took 18 months from beginning to end. It was the extreme other end of the scale!
