    3Al/25V thats all i needed to know..thanks Brant..I wasn’t saying the tube isn’t 0.9mm, but it appears thinner…..optical illusion probably!!!

    mickmcd  Which rods would be best for this material?

    Brant. I would say they are quite a bit thinner than that.

    Cheers Daffy….i shall try and get some grade 9 rods from the supplier

    He is an extremely good welder, i am in no doubt he can do the job just fine…

    But it is impossible for him to do the job correctly without knowing what material he is welding.

    There are a massive number of titanium alloys out there and as many rods to match the material.

    Maybe my question should have been does anybody know what the spec is of the downtube on a Ti On-One Inbred?

    I should add, i have been a structural welder for 20 years so i sort of know what i am on about….but not when it comes to TIG work.

    It needs to reduce raw veg to a state that is undetectable to an 11 year old who is very picky with her food but loves Spag Bol.
    Pulp/smoothie consistency would be ideal juice even better.

    Maybe now he is financially secure he is just doing what he wants to do rather than what he needs/is expected to do?

    On a side note, i loved watching Nibbles tramping away from the oppostion in a ‘proper gear’ as opposed to the 2000rpm you get from Froome which is not at all impressive 8)

    Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Sad about the thefts 🙁
    The security guards were like lightning telling us to turn our generator off at 10pm. So how did a load thieving scrotes in a white transit van(allegedly) not attract their eagle eyes i wonder???

    How is a dislocated shoulder a season ending injury for a pro?
    Local front rows must get it once a month, knock it back in and charge out for the 2nd half :roll:.
    I reckon he’ll have a nice breather before flying over the channel 😆

    Rumour this side of the bridge is that 1/2P is out for the rest of the season. Obviously not seen by NHS or he would still be on the pitch waiting for an ambulance.
    Sounds like bollocks to me.
    England smashed em and it was fantastic. Gatland has no plan B when plan A goes shit shape.
    I was a very happy Englishman sat in a Welsh rugby club chuckling to myself 😉

    How is Redding progressing? I think he will be top brit this year as Cal is riding a barge ;(

    Smalling was awful, how Hodgson is even considering him for an England place is beyond me.
    RVP seems to have moved on from his ‘purple patch’.
    Rooney just runs round like a headless chicken trying to do everybody else’s jobs for them!!!
    Fun,fun,fun 😆

    I don’t know but i am curious to find out who funded the doc?
    OP says its from a different perspective and all i can envisage it being is LA making himself look a little bit better and ‘everybody else’ a little bit worse.
    For a long time he was a legend to me, now he’s just another lying, cheating ars*hole ;(

    I bit the bullet that needed biting and put a fairly outrageous amount of money on England to do the Grand Slam.

    If you use the hammer and chisel method go in from the end and along rather than in from the side. This will hopefully prevent you knocking more off than you need too

    Fibreboard makes a very effective sponge and expands a fair amount when sodden.
    Unless they used marine ply, which is unlikely for internal work, the ply also will absorb water which will compromise the laminations and will expand over time.
    I’m sure this is not what you wanted to here just after christmas but it is my experience of the materials you mentioned were involved.
    Are the tiles still attached to whatever is underneath?

    O-rings looked a bit fraid when i removed the hoses,i just want some new ones.

    I think we’ll do ok, providing Hodgson grows a pair and leaves all he OAP’s at home and takes the young blood ie 3/4 f the under 21’s squad!!

    Choke/carb cleaner is a solvent.
    I’ve used it on discs before to degrease them to good effect.
    Also excellent for cleaning out gunk filled headsets.

    9 rads
    Boiler temp – 68
    4-5 hours at weekends, 1-3 hours weekdays.
    Approx 600 litres a year

    Ps. The log burner helps

    A mate used to use around 2000 litres a year, but that was in a huge 5 bedroom bungalow and there heating was at 25 degrees 24/7 365 days a year. He has moved now.

    I’ve got an IS200 Lexus. Its an older 2001 model, everything still works and its a hoot to drive.
    MPG is poor to tragic.
    Its easier to get a bike in the back of my wifes Fiesta
    They do a Sportcross, i think its called, small estate version which looks a lot more practical and probably nearly as much fun to drive.

    The son of a friend was started on by 2 other lads and proceeded to smash the pair of them. According to the parent of one of the 2 its all friends sons fault for retaliating.
    If giving someone few slaps after they have punched you in back of the head is wrong may i be wrong forever!

    Very big hands!!!! 😀
