it’s terminally unreliable. In the process of getting a refund as it works so rarely!

great when it does work though

seems they go for £30-£40 on ebay

it’s not really a retro product.

sell on here i’d have thought.

Odd language usage in the text and why no BB tool if you still have that BB in that frame you have fully stripped?

Royce BBs require a special tool and a degree of mechanical dexterity to remove safely

And the BB is worth more than the price i reckon

send it back to Cliff for a service and it’ll last a good 10 years at least

if it’s a line a pixel wide then it’s likely a failed connection or component somewhere, usually in the lid. it could well stay like that for years and never get any worse

Somebody Got Murdered – The Clash

incredible

i particularly like this:

She had particular praise for people who came out to support him in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe.

“They brought him a new rucksack. They’ve been doing our dirty washing. They had nothing and they were giving £10 and £20. In the City they just gave pennies.

“I just wanted to say thank you to the people in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe. We’ll never forget you as long as we live.”

Those poor bankers who lost their bonuses only to have them made up by massive wage increases should read this and take a long hard look at themselves (possibly on the way out of the 36th floor window)

i thought you had permanent cranial flu Hora?

i’m not healthy in the slightest

both

Down loses all it’s thermal properties when wet

is that the bluegrass festival

i’ve been very very very very high at the Edale Bluegrass festival

ah those hazy school days :lol:

it’s not the bluegrass festival, but looking into it, my brother and sister went to school with one of the headline act

custom moulds are ok but no good for running etc

will set you back about £90

just bought a set of Klipsch X10i’s

they have absolutely no rite sounding that good considering their tiny size.

extraordinarily comfortable and the double flange buds block out almost everything.

I think they are available as just X10’s without the ipod remote thingy.

Did a direct comparison with a colleagues Shure SE530s and to be honest for twice the price i’d have expected them to be alot better, preferred the X10s. My only proviso would be that they don’t look massively well built.

might ride over, 16 miles from my folks to Hayfield over Hope Cross, Jacobs Ladder

would make for something of an epic.

hmmmmmmm……..

ah, trains no good

i might turn up

could well be at my parents on sat night. might ride up from chinley station and then depart in the hope valley to return to the parents. is there a route plan?

around the £1000 starting point

another consideration with granite is that when the kids get interested in helping out cooking anything vaguely breakable will end up in a thousand pointy pieces.

granite has it’s down sides – no hot pans, will scratch.

we’ve just spent 2 months laboriously trawling through samples and in the end have just gone for a good quality laminate. It’s quite hard to justify the price hike up to real stone and the ‘fake’ stone ones didn’t do a lot for us.

an email to Ricky Feather got an immediate reply, he accidentally got into building fixies and would rather build tourers and audaxers, seems like a nice bloke. final decision is the wife’s but got a few more to look at now thanks.

Bob Jackson is in Yorkshire, not sure she’d be up for that ;-)

DJ – Dawes is too long

hadn’t looked at rourke yet

second vote for the mountain equipment xero range.

very well thought out and constructed.

have tried cheaper down bags and just found them to be clingy, inefficient and short lived.

baby robin

nothing grips on the polished babies heads. nobby nics are the closest i’ve got

snakebite will be along in a minute to tell you that you can ride it on bare rims

can you get hold of a portable slurry/water ‘pillow’

fire service may have one or they are used by slurry injection companies as temporary storage. You could use that as a form for fibreglass

i’m not sure of andy is still on here. i rode mountain mayhem with him and did a night ride with him and the N. Leeds lot.

nice bloke.

and this

not really a troll thread but one of the best for shear ridiculousness involved this kind of activity

they look nice but his expertise seems to be more on the fixie side of things. worth an email though. thanks

thanks

the SYHA hostel is ok, big bike storage and good facilities (including proper SYHA skin stripping showers)

and now i’ve actually written it up.

first journal i’ve done, it’s actually quite good fun if a little odd. i might do some of the older tours as well

to simplify, it’s like stretching a rubber band. the more you stretch it, the thinner it gets and eventually it breaks. having a RAW image is like starting with a bigger rubber band in the first place, you can stretch it more before it gives up

JPEG compression deletes a certain amount of the information captured by the sensor. You can recover more information about each pixel with a RAW file, this allows you to do more with the picture to recover exposure etc.

In essence, you can’t alter information that the JPEG has forgotten.

specialized BG pro. couldn’t get any last time i needed a pair and ended up with Altura which are truly awful. The gel is far too thick and makes the problem worse. If only i could find the right hand BG pro of my pair :(

I’ve got a peleng 8mm, love it but hardly use it since i got the tokina 11-16.

great fun to play with though

bones was available post Trek buyout but pre Trek manufacture IIRC

best way to improve HD video editing is to put the content on a fast external drive (firewire 800 or eSata) with a decent 7200rpm drive.

this tends to be the major limiting factor. careful with processor speeds as most video editing packages (even the pro ones) are useless at multithreading (using more than one processor at a time) whereas mac tends to be a lot better. adding another core to the processor will make no difference if it’s not used, better to have less faster cores than more slower ones if you get my drift. For instance, put my vaio next to a macbook pro and mine will sit with 2 processors running at 80-90% whilst rendering and the MBP will run all 4 at 100%.

like i said, HD read/write speeds really does tend to be the major problem with editing on laptop, most other problems stem form this.

I use a Sony VPCEC1S1E (huge) but only really because it has a huge full HD screen and loads of video memory.

altura drylines

done us very well. borrow a pair and see how you get on if you want, we’ve got 8 of them.

Jonrock on Retrobike is your man, very good work by all accounts

birthday present to myself me thinks, after the summer :-)

i really wish i could find someone i’d trust to do a respray of original or better quality
