So how does this compare to the other dry lubes ?.

I've tried the 2 finish line dry/wax lubes, white ligthening & pedros wax & they all last about 40 miles at most. A long day ride the chain needs re-lubing mid ride, which is not ideal for a wax lube that needs some time left to dry on the chain.

The best i've found is Pedros extra-dry, but nobody seems to stock that now, so would be interested in how Squirt compares to that.

I see Squirt are at the Builth enduro this weekend. Might give it a go there.

Not all the 3D features are in the upstream ATI driver yet. What is in it is working fine for me here with my 4870 on Fedora 12 with the current experimental-dri-mesa-driver (see here). IIRC there's a port of that for Ubumgo.

If 3D performance is key, you'll need to go the proprietary ATI route, with all the nastiness that brings. If all you're wanting is to run compiz etc then the upstream experimental driver should be good enough.

Best place to be looking for this is probably the Phoronix forums.

Whenever i've bought Vegetarian Shoe's cross-train type shoes they've fallen apart pretty quickly compared to shoes specifically made for walking etc. Not sure i'd want to be using them for riding (apart from the fact they do indeed look gopping).

Their Doc Marten lookalikes are great though. I use them for day to day office wear & they last for years.

Try looking at the v4l wiki

+1 for Rayments.

I'd like to think it's an omen for the ashes in the winter, but i suspect it won't be.

\o/

17 from 27 balls. We need an Irishman to get those.

psychie is very quiet tonight 😀

Yep. No problems here on 819's.

I seat the tyre first with an innertube in the tyre. Then remove the innnertube keeping the beading on one side seated. Inflate using a track pump with the valve core removed. Stick a bit of sealant in the tyre to help seal it whilst inflating.

PB also goes well with tahini.

+1 for Planetary Assault Systems "Temporary Suspension".

Me too. Filled up with petrol. Sat in the car, plugged the key fob in then luckily realised what i'd done before i pressed the start button.

The 1st thing the tow truck man did was remove the fuse to the fuel pump so he could put the dongle back in to power the car up & free the steering lock. Inserting the dongle powers up a bunch of stuff, including the fuel pump, to pressurise the system.

As above, the drain/flush/replace filter & pump cost me ~£750.

Agreed it's confusing.

I read it that the OP said that the last 3 chars of the filename will be different, the rest is unique. I assumed by that he meant that the directories have say in dest & src ….

foo00234 ~ foo00123
bar00567 ~ bar00456

and that he wanted to overwrite foo00234 in the dest directory with foo00123 from src, same for bar00567 ~ bar00456.

Yes, i didn't bother checking the contents if they match (i forgot that bit 😉 But if they do, it'll just use up a bit of disk bandwidth. An md5sum would be easy to add before the cp …

I tested it very briefly here on a RHEL system before posting, so should be ok for SLES.

It'll break if you have more than one file in the destination directory that matches the wildcard. You'd need to do something with the "ls" to sort the file you want in that case, like piping the output through sort & tail/head …
k=$(ls ../destination/$j* | sort -n | tail -1)

something like ….

cd source
for i in * ; do
j=$(echo $i | sed 's/…\.dat//')
k=$(ls ../destination/$j*) && cp -i $i $k
done

I've run them tubeless with no problems on XTR & 819 UST specific rims …

bakes, try using Assam leaves. They'll give you a strong cuppa.

edit: oh and loose leaf every time when i can. Preferably Darjeeling or Sencha.

its the terms "windows" and "secured" in the same sentence 😉

+1 to what samuri said.

I'd add. it sounds to me like you really need to look at your general firewall policy & not just for this system. You should only be allowing access for externally initiated connections to services that require it. Everything else should be blocked. It doesn't sound like this is the case.

singletrackmind, there's plenty of legit bridleway in there & most of the footpaths get ridden by the local horsey crowd. It gets very churned up in the winter by the horses & woodland management vehicles. It was still pretty muddy last weekend. There's also some hidden tracks that i rarely see another tyre mark on that i assume get created by walkers. My favourite ones were trashed last year by logging 🙁

I'm not sure i'd want to make a special trip over from Hayling just to ride in there (or at least not until the bluebells are out). You're probably better off incorporating it as part of a bigger loop, maybe out to the SDW around Springhead & Kithurst Hills or out west over to Rewell Woods & Houghton Forest.

Second what tommo999 said, Wepham Wood between Worthing & Arundel. Has a few bridleways through it.

Lots that fit this, depending on how ambient & dark you want to get. Try

Andrew Thomas "Between Buildings Trees"
Dakota Suite/Various "The Night Just Keeps Coming In"
Deaf Centre "Pale Ravine" (wish they'd record another)
Foehn "Hidden Camera Soundtrack"
William Basinski if you like long loop pieces.

Ah. 🙂

In that case you might have more success using one of those "all-in-one" USB card readers, or stick the card in a camera/media player & connect that using USB.

Another happy Smile user here. The user interface is simple & works fine with non Microsoft browsers, which is essential for me.

The hardware key generator might be a PITA, but it's one of the better ways of overcoming account fraud. I'd worry about a using bank that doesn't use it, or something similar, nowadays.

First thing to check is if the kernel is seeing the card. Run a "dmesg | tail -20" before & a few seconds after the card is inserted. If it's a memory card (SDHC etc) & it's supported then you'll probably see some mention of an mmc device.

… or Indy Fab

psychie, sorry, i don't do gps. It can't be more than 30 miles. I could probably draw something out on a map if you want.

Train to Chichester. Centurian Way from the station up to Lavant. Up over Kingley Vale to High Harting. East along the SDW to west end of Houghton Forest, singletrack in there & Rewell Woods, ending up in Arundel for the train back.

Much respect for sticking it out as far as you did – i suspect i'd have given up way before. I was out on the downs north or Worthing on Saturday afternoon & it took 2 hours to clean the bike & kit off afterwards.

I'm telling myself that we've only got another couple of weeks of this & then it's spring & it'll be back to dry & dusty 🙂

I spent yesterday with a 1-on-1 with jedi, & I was about to post up a pretty much identical thread. What the OP's said is exactly my experience.

I'm certainly one of the "can't jump, won't jump" brigade. That thread from the other day is me to a tee. If Tony had shown me at the start of the day what he'd end up getting me riding i'd have laughed at him.

I've already booked a follow up session.

Elaine Anne, i'm 49. Doing a day with Jedi tomorrow (poor man), so i guess in 24 hours time i'll be able to answer that 🙂

Just out of interest, the shots of tiny tents in the back of beyond (awesome photos by the way) – are you strictly speaking allowed to camp in those sorts of locations or do you have to be a bit cheeky?

It's a bit like riding on footpaths IME. If you do discretely people don't seem to object.

I've only briefly tried pulling it around by the "handles". They'd probably be ok dragging it from the car park to check-in, but i wouldn't want to do much more than that. I'll probably try hooking a loop of webbing around the front strap & see how that goes.

I just bought one. I've not used it yet apart from testing how the bike would fit in it.

The case isn't rigid, the sides do have some flex.

I googled around looking for the best way to place the frame & wheels. Found a couple of threads on roadie/tri fourms that suggest the eyelets for the wheel skewers might possibly detach (the eyelets don't have a huge amount of surface contact with the sides of the case). Also that the threaded part of the skewer sits proud of the case & would catch on your leg or whatever. I'd agree with these sentiments. These threads suggest using wheel bags for the wheels inside the case, which is what i'll be doing.

Apart from that, it looks fine. Much better than using a cardboard box IMO.

If you want an idea of how you'll do with 100 miles offroad, have a go at one of the BHF's South Downs Way randonnees. That's only 10K feet climbing (the Kielder is 15K iirc), but as others have said it's as much about the hours in the saddle. The one towards the end of July should be ideally placed in a Keilder 100 training schedule.

Another +1 for Monmouth. Since H&V stopped doing smaller quantities i've been getting my beans from their shop in Borough Market. The Organic Espresso is great.

Houghton Forest isn't too far away from Goodwood & there's plenty of singletrack in there. Might be worth doing a loop that heads over that way.

Non-UST Nics on 819's here. They were no more faff to get on than the Conti Vert. Pro's i'd been using previously. I'd rather put up with 10 mins hassle getting them sealed first time, for the long term weight saving c/w UST specific tyres.
