So when it comes to slow acceleration presumably there is a break even point?

It seems to take a lot more throttle to accelerate to 60 if for example you skip 4th and go straight to fifth from third.

Is it most efficient to just aim for minimum throttle and maintain about 2k revs mark regardless of gear. Or just try to drive everywhere in 5th?

Probably This one

mojo?

You can get between £5 – 10 a kg on fleabay depending how you mix it up, and some random factor I don’t yet understand.

I’m gonna guess you have 7.56kgs.

Lots of monkeyjam tuts on youtube.

Sold about a dozen items recently all ending same Sun night. All but one paid within 24 hours. Tuesday sent reminder / invoice. Thursday asked if a problem. Friday night they paid and apologised for delay.

Don’t know what the problem was but I would have second chanced or re listed after a week.

Obviously you never leave any dog alone with small kids but I had a Border since before the kids were born till they were 10+ and there were never any incidents even as babies. Would decline to comment on the cat front.

A m8 had a JRT and similar story although I always find Borders to be a lot less excitable. Eddie ^ looks pretty chilled though.

Quite like the look of Irish Terriers, almost medium size though and never met one.

Nope. Everything is the same size but much higher resolution.

But everything on the web is optimised for about 100 dpi, so all you are looking at is 1 pixel made up u4 4?

Currently reading this very forum on a 4 at full width without any trouble.

On a PC screen you can easily pick out individual pixels without zooming in at all (not that zooming in is a particular useful measure and the screen resolution obviously stays the same).

From about 2 inches away?

Print magazines are typically 300dpi or better. If you aim to replace magazine with a digital version then a display capable of similar resolutions is a good thing.

Computer monitors are emissive while print is reflective. Everyone has experienced printing what looks fine on screen but terrible on paper. Totally different mediums.

So everything is a bit smaller on the 3?

The phone comparison is not really relevant because the the screen is so small. At 480 pixels wide you cant render a web page full width. And even though you can on the 4 it’s too small to read anyway?

The resolution on your PC monitor is probably just under 100ppi, the ipad 1 is 132ppi. How much do you have to zoom in on stuff on a PC monitor see a drop in pic quality? And how much of that is down to what you are looking at?

All seems a bit emperors clothes to me unless your are doing CAD or something, but why do that on an ipad.

The difference between the ipad 1 and 2 is one has a camera on the back, the difference between the 2 and 3 is there are cameras on the front and back.

I cant tell any difference in screen resolution or speed. Anything else is cosmetic, the newer ones are a bit thinner. 🙄

Am on about week 4 and I don’t think you missed anything worth mentioning apart from Morena Baccarin’s breasts. Tis a bit drawn out.

Stayed here a couple of years back, http://www.stronanshotel.co.uk/ bit rough more room above pub than hotel but central.

My son’s scooter has inflatable tyres and he puts a thorn through riding it to school at least once a month. Last night I had to put a patch on a patch. Was fine today.

Sometimes I give the glue a few seconds sometimes 5 mins, doesn’t seem to make a difference. Have also tried those cheap self adhesive patches, seem to be holding up OK (35psi).

Went through a similar dilemma recently, many wii game sales on ebay later ended up going for an ipod touch. More varied uses with apps, is technically a mini ipad. Games are cheaper plus ‘retina display’ and all that jazz. Depends what age you talking though.

His n hers?

Did something similar with a second hand Columbus frame recently, cost #175. From the sound of it you don’t seem to want to go down that route but if you did is worth spending some time on watching for diamonds in the rough on lfgss or ebay.it / ebay.de, or Hilary Stone’s site. You would also have to take in to account 1″ forks.

Thick fog really brings home how little of familiar immediate surroundings you actually take notice of, and how important distant points of reference really are. It does freak you out.

Still think concating the answers to a single column is the easiest. From there simple multiple if statements.

Generally you are limited to 7 ifs but like this:

=CONCATENATE(
IF(A1=”A”,”Yes”,””)
,IF(A1=”B”,”Maybe”,””)
,IF(A1=”C”,”No”,””)
)

You could add up to 30. Any more then that and you just do the next 30 in the next column and concat them in the next.

You could try something like:

=CONCATENATE(Sheet1!A1,Sheet1!B1,Sheet2!C3,Sheet3!D3)

To get all your answers in one column apply some simple if statement like:

if(a1=”YesToday”,”OK”, if(a1=”NoToday”,”Not OK”, “other”)) etc

Depends how many variations in answers you have.

Beamish isn’t that far away if it floats you boat. And of course there is Hartlepool Marina 😉

If you do want a day out at the coast start at Saltburn and look south, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby.

Roseberry Topping to Captain Cook’s Monument is decent walk for the kids. Or head for Reeth, Tan Hill is close, Richmond Castle. Or look for some petroglyphs on Barningham moor.

A Mercian Pro lugless would be on my list for that budget. Re longevity I just picked up a columbus steel frame from the 90s and there’s no rust I can see.

853 Pro Team tubing £945 + VAT!!!

Probably not what you would call compact though and no idea of weight.

Edit – they do whatever geo you want, so they should that price.

LX3 and photomatix.

I use Photomatix too, it doesn’t seem to like too many tree branches or detail and I generally tone it right back now. Not many seem to come out worth keeping.

But I still find HDR is a real bonus when it comes to getting decent skys’ even with minimal settings, although your water looks good too.

Rubbish.. You can ride six days a week or more, provided you throw in a couple of recovery spins. How did you come up with 4 a week to lose weight and 5 as over training??? I’m baffled

http://www.roadcycling.com/training/overtraining.shtml

Most training programs include at least one (and sometimes two) rest days per week as well as a day or two of easy spinning. This reflects the practical experience of coaches who have had to deal with the results of pushing too hard for too long.

That’s 3 or 4 days easy & rest days leaving 3 or 4 days training days a week? Personally I don’t think easy / recovery spins count for much but be interested to hear what the benefits might be.

TRAINING FREQUENCY
Studies indicate that maximum aerobic conditioning (measured as an increase in VO2max) occurs with 3 workout days per week. So unless you are trying to burn Calories to lose weight, or are working to get the musculoskeletal system (back, shoulders) in shape for a long endurance event by increasing mileage on the bike, it is better to take 2 to 3 days per week off the bike to allow for muscle and ligament repair and decrease the risk of cumulative stress resulting in an increase in training injuries. Interestingly, it appears that the 3 days per week will maximize aerobic conditioning equally in any combination – i.e. 3 days in a row with 4 off, alternating days of exercise/rest, etc.

So any more than three sessions is just burning calories? I’ve read scientific studies with control groups that back this up, also that 1 hour sessions produce same results as two hours or more but can’t be bothered to spend an hour googling.

Obviously there are going to be variances dependent on age, current fitness levels and what you are training for, all of which is all a bit vague here. And training is not the same as riding.

2 sessions a week = maintain fitness
3 = fitness gain
4 = lose weight
5+ = over training

3 month plan:

Sunday >3 hour ride – aiming 5-10% gain in distance a week.
Tuesday 1 hour turbo – 75%? HR
Thursday 1 hour turbo intervals – 3 mins 60%, 3 mins 85% MHR.

That’s the general idea innit.

I use my own netgear no probs but I’m not on that speed. Seem to remember needing a code but there are guides on forums.

So is this:

it’s a road bike not a cross-bike

It’s a bike.

The middle?

Mavic Ksyrium Elites.

Just seen a cheap pair of those on fleabay.

I was personally leaning towards some PlanetX AL30s but the A54s might suit you more and they’re on special.

Get a disc frame or try fitting some Crosstop Brake Levers.

I thought everyone in Europe except the UK have foam ones generally.

Here’s one with decent entry level parts: http://www.rutlandcycling.com/34631/Halcyon-Chimaera—Road-Bike.html

For the same price a Specialized Allez only gets you a 2300 groupset.

Wow, Pendleton/Mears race 2 was close.

What a great race though.

Have bought an Italian frame put the carbon one on ebay. First ride this weekend.

invitation nation

Sounds reasonable, did n’t they try a 10 day week in Russia once to up productivity?

Wikipedia’d 360, allegedly it is based on the Greeks thinking there were 360 days in a year so seemed logical to divide a circle by that, hmmm.
