    This thread needs to stop now, I am contemplating either the cylo or the hozan tool. Damn you all.

    Er….

    It wasn’t meant to be an insult, you can fancy whoever you want. Just do not let it cloud your judgement.

    I agree that is a concern, given the evidence from the US on multiple concussions.

    Hmm, I see AA on the defensive because he fancies North almost as much as the Orange one, and some other people turning what is obviously coincidental bad luck on GN’s part into some kind of criticism of his technique?
    Just grow up all of you.
    It seems to me that 3 or 4 concussions in as many weeks, is going to be something to be concerned about.
    Surely we all hope he has future good health and continues to play, can we just leave it at that rather than getting all childish about it?

    Typical cart bearings for bicycle applications are designed for radial loads only, but with allowance to take some angular misalignment, hence the movement you feel. This means it is a well designed and well constructed bearing. If there was no angular play then they would wear out very fast indeed. If there is no radial movement there is no problem. The bearings sound fine.

    Google bearing misalignment this was first hit.
    Or look in Shigley who has a couple of pages on this.

    right, sussed it. It is a forged header.But the header also shows where it really comes from, so at least it shows my domain is not hacked/compromised.

    Pigface are you saying that England beat a good quality side in Wales then?

    toys19
    Free Member

    Quiet in here since England lost isnt it!!

    just naff all to say. I knew we would come undone as I said a few pages back, so the loss was no surprise. It pisses me off that every time we win the press make a big deal about the coming revolution of awesomeness and cherry pick every positive statement by someone from the england camp as if the whole world knows that england have turned a corner. When the reality is that we beat a poor welsh side and struggled to put points on italy until they were dead on their feet. It did not look like a particulalry accomplished side to me and as soon as we met real quality opposition in the Irish we got properly undone.
    The english press need a **** reality check sometimes..

    PS I fully expect us to lose one of the next games, probs the france one as scotland always choke at twickers.

    Chaninging the subject slightly, apparently the Premirshicp is going to scrap relegation. Que? I don’t get it, does that mean the 12 sides who are in stay in for ever?

    I guess we’ve just had too many false dawns.

    I find it unbelieveable that after the two 6N games we have had anyone considers this a dawn of any kind. Bu there is no stopping the press. The reality is that Ireland will beat us and we could easily trip over scotland or france. Not looking world beating in my crude eyes.

    Seen this on twitter. Funny.

    Seen this #Finnocent hashtag. Why won’t the Scots accept the decision with the same grace & dignity that us Welsh did with Warburton’s red?…

    And I think this might be aimed at some of you

    Whatever you say as a co commentator you can’t please everyone. #sotoughshit

    Anyone who expects Jiffy not to be one eyed is expecting the impossible.

    me too. I have long accepted that Engands likely fate in the WC will be to get beaten in the pool stages by Wales or go out in the quarters.
    Beating Wales last weekend was great, but it does not make them great.

    I feel genuinely sorry for all the bike component designers and manufacturers if this is what their customers actually think of their efforts. These people actually put a lot of passion into making great products so we can have more fun for longer.
    Luckily you lot just represent a small section of luddite curmudgeons.
    Its all about incremental gains, each small thing seems like not much, but when you add together modern geom and components you get incredible bikes.
    If you put Fabien Barel on a bike from 2005 and one of todays wonder machines he would be light years faster on the new bike.

    Take the advice here and refund, then walk away. Or sit on the money, don’t send the bike and wait for the item not received claim if it comes…

    I think the explaining has missed the important bit.

    -Paypal requires you to send to the buyers registered address, which should come with the payment on the email or be in the transaction on your paypal account.

    -So the actual buyer is the person with the paypal account, and you can only send it to them, so them foning you with a different address is where this becomes a scam.

    -because the paypal buyer does not receive the goods at their registered address, the submit an “item not received claim” and get their money back.

    – because they called you, non of this is recored in paypals system and you cannot prove jack

    I can’t comment on the coding but I’d wonder if rather than using the parametric equation of a circle couldn’t you do this with the pythagorean form which is simpler and more elegant? (is posted in the the link above)

    x^2 + y^2 = r^2

    I reckon you need a 35mm, they normally capture what the eye sees, if you go any smaller its getting into wide angle.
    This canon lens is well reccomended by Ken Rockwell
