    maybe it’ll only be for new threads after now (just posting to test that)

    There is a ‘Top of Page’ link in the bottom right corner of every page

    ooooh, never seen that before…as it’s beyond the right edge of my screen

    Is there an easy way (at this end) to make this page not fixed width? (fieryfox if that matters)

    (nice title CFH)

    from a posisiton of ignorance/google then:

    what does an international cricket coach do ?
    can england get by without one ?
    if we need one, which top class coach will take on the job if their career depends on the whim of an apparently outspoken & volatile captain ?
    is it possible that the squad isn’t in agreement with KP opver this issue ?

    is KP actually a good captain ?
    if “dropped” will KP refuse to play for england ? (ie what’s the risk to ecb)
    is there really no other talented player in the set-up who’s pretty much guaranteed a place on merit for the mid-term ? (if not, that’s thre farcical bit)

    you’ll see someone braking hard into a corner

    now you’re just trying to upset JoB, suggesting they don’t know how to ride a bike like that

    they don’t need to, they know how to ride a bike

    aye, such is their unmatched skill, I’ve seen them combine it effortlessly with abseiling, ice skating, skittles, …

    :winkythingy: :bigkiss:

    6000 miles on a set of blocks – blimey, might cut some down & superglue onto my worn disc pads (if only someone would make disc pads where the material could easily be removed from the backing…)

    I reckon the over the bars tendency is quite strongly linked to position too though – arse high, hands low etc. Maybe all tour de francers should use discs AND adjustable seatposts

    I think the objection to “paging” generally has been overblown – Can’t believe it really needs mods to remove posts; if users don’t like it, let them say so on the thread and the message will be heard

    I once put up a post with the word paging in it’s title, though from the content it was clearly not really paging one person (just like someone posted “paging singlespeedstu” inside a thread earlier). The modding just seems a bit petty sometimes (yeah, it’s all free and the mods are doing it for love etc (and I’ve been here long enough to suspect that I quite like it))….

    Anyway, congratulations on getting it all back up again so soon

    they often accidentally lock up with rim brakes

    what, the front ?!!!!!!

    I don’t think many people would suggest discs purely for absolute power – other than in wet or clag, either of which would potentially make road descents dangerous with discs as I suggested above. Think it’s more to do with consistency, self-adjustment (could you wear out a set of blocks so as to affect lever function on a single mountain stage, for example ?) and, if done well, resistance to overheating

    Oh, and there used to one or two other groups that were a bit further towards Winchester (one was a bit more gentle pace I think, though I’ve never been)

    newforce web page[/url]

    I think the group you’re talking about (happy cheese) is derived from the newforce club, though I don’t think it’s an actual club ride

    They were very welcoming when I went (about 20 rides over a year or two, but they ride every week & always was Thursdays) – used to ride from Marchwood then

    Dunno if he’s rejoined the forum but 40mpg is a very frequent flier with the group and posts here quite a bit

    Are you fittish ?
    I don’t ride much generally but I found them pretty fast. I never felt like they’d ride off without me but once or twice felt I was begionning to slow the overall pace (why I don’t go any more really – unless I get more riding in beforehand I don’t think it’d be fair). It wasn’t a massive racer-type thrash though – they used to do a bit of pubbage mid ride, esp in summer and definitely at the end

    why don’t road (racing) bikes have discs? most importantly, the UCI rulebook I’d guess

    I reckon someone could produce a disc-braked bike that was at the weight limit if they were allowed, though I doubt there’d be much advantage in braking performance – I certainly think you would need the hands of a druidh if you were using discs on a high speed alpine road descent in the wet. Also, if it was dry I wonder how badly a minimalist disc set up might overheat (then again, I don’;t do this riding so I don’t know how badly conventional brakes suffer either)

    ton, did you mean in a puff of smoke (or maybe dust) ?

    anyhow, post up something about driving technique. that’ll flush him out – red rag to a bull

    Now I’m not a clever bloke…

    can’t you just put a BB in each – with the same length axle but a different shell size

    I wouldn’t fancy repeatedly swapping a bb over, you’ll end up buggering a thread sooner or later

    pie chips & beans is my signature dish at our place – think my colleagues are running a sweep on how many years before I’m in with my 1st heartie

    I think “flac” is supposed to be quite well compressed (but still no loss), so might be better if you’re using lots of files (and don’t have masses of disc space to play with)

    very strange in the forest of new – frozen potholed “churn” from passing cows & hosses, all floating on a still-wet base of sticky clay bogginess

    (though I did get on to some bits that I normally have to save ’til June)

    you’re wrong

    they had a woman on the radio about this

    he was attacking gender theory, and gender theory alone. it should in no way be construed as an attack on filthy perverts and abominations before the lord

    ( :idea:)

    the smiley thing has nothing to do with my post – just wondered what it was. apparently not a goatse’y

    I’d ask for a crime number – collectively, or several individually

    that way you’ll maybe get dem po-lice to take some action (if that’s what you want)

    I think the degasssing bit, and then the slight pressurising of the system before disengaging the syringes, is pretty important

    I’m “on” facebook
    Only 1 friend – my mate who got me to join so I could see his photos etc (& I joined the stw and trailaddiction groups I think)
    I’ve a made up bithdate & harldy anything else on there – except that I met my mate while working at mme jo’s tassle bar which either he put on somehow, or it’s facebook’s default setting
