    There’s a charity ride called Niterider around London in June. Starts at midnight. 100km. Not done it but considering it…

    Now you’re getting it. Video editing on Windows is a nightmare.

    To convert your files to the correct formats fro wmm use WinFF – very basic simple converter. Some quality lose with any conversion but hey…

    DivX is a set of codecs (coders and decoders) that enable wmm and WMp to play other formats. Try DivX first.

    Or spend some money!

    Take out the old one and take it to b&q when you go to get the new kne. The nice old men there will make sure you get the right bits and show you what to do. That’s service.

    Weirdly I’ve been training hard and watching my diet for months an found wasn’t losing any weight. So my back goes and can’t do any exercise for three weeks an now find I’ve lost 6 lbs!!! Probably muscle wastage but I’d like to keep it off if possible. So I’m getting less fit but losing weight. Weird.

    The original question ‘how quickly can you unclip?’ is wrong. It should be how quickly can you put your foot down if you need to? And that is exactly the same whether you are clipped in or not as its the same movement. If you are nervous clipped in just practice until it makes no difference. Stop overthinking and start enjoying it…

    Only after I’ve fiddled with them. Bought a complete bike but didn’t feel it until I’d taken it apart and replaced the fork. Only when you’ve ‘built’ it do you build a bond.

    Windows Movie Maker is probably already installed on your system. If not simple download. All the others will do you a trial version although some of the edited movies will be watermarked.

    Be interested to see results from a GF2 as my daughter has one.

    Why not cancel the order quickly? Distance selling regs etc? Ring them and explain you were drunk!

    Seems rapid rise isn’t available on New 10 speed groupsets.

    Merlin have some xtr rapid rise but 9 speed only. Next question would these work with 10 speed cassettes and shifters?

    I have one bike with and one without and actually find it easy enough switching. One duff shift each ride then I learn again. I like them and may well change new bike in a while. Much quieter and less clunky

    Bring back ration books. Everyone is comparing this financial crisis to the post war years so as an austerity measure it could kill two birds with one stone…

    Try telling the GP its an emergency – I get same day appointments if I ring early enough and say exactly what I want. The physio saw me on a walk (hobble) in.

    Don’t mess about with your back. Get it sorted asap. Doctor first so they get the history then physio for massage. I’m currently on week 2 of immobility from sneezing badly :(

    Have you talked to the contract provider? They will often switch you to an new 2 or 3 year contract and upgrade with that short time left on the original contract. They are desperate to keep you remember.

    Liam Killen seems to have switched according to the article on his third place at the Sunshine Cup on the BC website. http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/mtb/article/mtb20120221-Road-To-2012–Liam-Killeen-Finds-Form-At-Sunshine-Cup-0

    Ride the same as on your MTB? Assuming you have one and like that. Your bum doesn’t change between bikes.

    I was always told to check knee alignment drop a line from the front of the knee to the pedal axle at the 3 o’clock position with the ball of your foot on the axle (ish). I thought one of the benefits of flats were that your feet naturally found the right place?

    Yunki, that does seem an escalation. What did your notice say? Dog owners are rarely passionate about poo. May be time for the hidden cameras…

    I think the camera might be a bit ott. Have you also put up a sign with informing them they might be on CCTV? The first sign and bag are supposed to be helping them improve their behaviour. What’s the camera for? What are you going to do if it’s a kid walking his puppy? What if its a thug with a pit bull? What if its a neighbour? I could go on..

    Put a sign up with a spare plastic bag for them to use. Action realises the stress.

    YouTube have agreements with some music publishers which allow certain tracks to be used in return for links to iTunes. Others just disable all the audio. I think that’s fair enough. Facebook are still playing catchup…

    Issue 70 had.a good grouptest. XT top for power. Avid Juicy 7 then Hopes. They all come as kits the only thing to be careful of is the type of mounting to the frame – post or IS (tabs). Post for forks normally, IS for frame normally. And rotors are either centrelock or six bolt depending on hub.

    No don’t ride it. You will screw the headset as the bearings aren’t preloaded. Wait for your new headset but you might need some spacers as the stack heights might be different

    I’m getting an out of memory error on issue 70 reading the PDF with adobe reader but it’s fine with the kindle reader. Adobe software had always been bloated.

    I think they were trying to show that protein taken straight after exercise helps recovery, which they did (as it does). Easy access protein is milk. I’ve stopped using recovery drinks once I stopped aching the next day – maybe I’m not working hard enough.

    We use £50 Fujifilm cameras at school and the picture quality is great. Kids haven’t destroyed them in two years of use. So cheap almost disposable…

    I think bands should only be allowed to reform if they are the same weight as when they started. I’m thinking New Order in particular.

    Apply but before you go for interview go and watch the teachers in a school. If you think you can handle lots of things going on around you and control 25-30 kids for 6 hours a day then go for it. If you can handle the govt telling you you are doing a bad job once a week then go for it. If you can afford it then…

    Maths/ICT teacher 6 years in after 20 in IT. And still loving it (most days ;) )
