    **** no, man.

    EDIT: Though trying to argue with them can be an exercise in futility due to the brain damage.

    Let me guess, you posted twice so the first one pulls the second one along faster?

    It’s where I learned to really ride, Porthtowan starts, going North. Utterly beautiful 🙂

    Old Mill in Canal Road for the new flat. Used to live on “Mill St”*, above the coffee shop, so it’s not far.

    If the NC10 is powerful enough, I’d replace it with an AMD E2 chip, or a very low end Pentium [22nm series chip] Notebook. Both are faster, but still cheap. Personally my money is on AMD for an Atom replacement.

    Watch out for larger notebooks having the same resolution on the screen – 1366 on a 15″ is just silly.

    Not much, but yeah around Cornwall most of it is doable, but the styles/steps are a bugger. More of a bugger with a loaded bike/panniers.

    Looks like they finally got it sorted.

    Thanks so much for your offers guys, I very nearly told them to get lost. I was dealing with a nice chap there, then he went on holiday without telling us in advance, and the woman who took over from him was utterly useless and rude – hence the thread.

    I’ll check back here if I need to move into another place around Bradford way.

    Not watching the video, the words around it are too hysterical. Is it saying you need to turn off geotagging by any chance?

    I used to race EVERYBODY*, then I stopped trying [post 9 month tour I think- just got used to trundling].

    Nonetheless it started to get to me, commuting 8 miles each way and letting rodies actually just saunter past without so much as an attempt to catch them or hunt them down.

    I want back up to speed. Thing is, I’ve got:

    a) Srs problem with my achillies’
    b) Lazy/slow
    c) Freaking 2″+ Marathon XR’s on the Thorn for some reason..?!

    I promise on the name of Joe Murray I will try to kick the next few roadies I see into touch nonetheless.

    PS If you hear I’m dead from massive heart failure – that’s why.

    I think there was a thread of a similar vain recently, but it’s always nice to see pics of bikes people are completely happy with!!

    Vain? Moi?

    My 40t Surly measures approx. 175mm Dia.

    If we allow 10mm for the height of the teeth, we get: 165

    165*Pi = 518

    518/(25.4/2) = 40ish [it has 40T]
    So (518-25.4)/Pi = 38T = 157mm ish
    and (518-50.8)/Pi = 148mm….ish

    ie for each 2T less than 40, you remove 25.4mm from the Circumference and then divide by Pi

    I think

    🙂 best of luck to you, and feel free to bug me for anything.

    Am I a dope or is there a way to list activity by last reply on STW?

    I only just thread noticed this down the list somewhere!

    Warm up/stretch first.

    I used to live on the side of a valley, and then 5 minutes from the bottom of the track to the center of the village from where the road went to my 6form college.

    Even though the ride was only 4 miles long, I used to get very weak/sore legs – worked out that 5 minutes of descending a muddy track followed by 5 minutes of riding/freewheeling down a road to the bottom of the valley made my non-warmed-up legs even colder. AND then going up the other steep side [usually in a rush ‘cos I was late] was what was doing my legs in.

    I started walking for a minute or two through the village and riding slllooowwwllllyy up that big hil – problem sorted. A little stretching also helped 🙂

    Also you may need to apply a little more cream. MTFU cream 😉

    ernie, that photo says “A close-up of the teeth of a pacu”..?

    I mean, you’re right it’s not going to survive fresh/salt water change, but still that photo is a Pacu!

    Sell the car, buy a 9 year old Yaris and give it to her to cover her loss. Find out what colour she likes first. Probably best not to go back her to be honest, sounds like a pattern….

    I think you mean find out what colour she likes and then get one in a violently different shade?

    Letting agent still utterly incapable of even acknowledging receipt of the copies of guarantor’s contract/wages, despite them requiring a substantial effort to arrange. Or for that matter even calling me back.

    May be scrapping them, I’ll give them a couple of extra days.

    On of the guys at work had that turned out to be two commonly-lethal infections, one of the brain and another equally important! He went to hospital, and against the odds survived.

    I like my one. Sure it’s no good for SMD – but then what is?

    30-120W covers most of the bases 🙂
