A blind person uses their other senses to compensate- they can still touch and feel objects, surfaces, people etc. so can build up a mental 'image' of what they're touching, even if they can't see the detail or the colour. Interesting idea though!
It's very easy to cut if you have the right tools. If you don't have a set of cable cutters there's a good chance you'll make the end of the hose worse by mullering it with the wrong tool. If you don't have cutters either get some or take the brake down to Halfords or your LBS and ask them to borrow theirs for 5 seconds.
I guess a lot of that comes down to where you're from. If you live in the countryside in Cambridgeshire, the first time you see a small block of flats you'll think 'wow that's a tall building!' but if you live in the middle of London and are surrounded by tall buildings it takes a much taller building to make you think the same.
At some point you're going to need to consider the potential mass differential between the carriages which may come into effect (if one is full to capacity and one is empty the system will need to function). The other consideration I'd have thought would be the operational 'cruise' velocity in motion. If the motor is running at 3000rpm do you need a carriage velocity of 1ms-1 or what?
Nobody's quite sure. That's one possibility, others have been saying it could be fed all the way to the front wing to stall the wing and reduce drag on the straights when the DRS is deployed.
Did anyone else see 10 O'Clock Live last night? As I suspected he is indeed a retarded evangelical Christian twat®. That Fourth Estate shit looks seriously worrying, almost like they're at the head of a Scientology rebranding exercise...
Regarding the lockring tool, would it possible to use a BB spline? I'd have thought that would be a better bet than the pin tools.
May I also suggest a bit of a restyle for the tensile cranks? Existing ones have never exactly been aesthetically pleasing!
That will only be a primarily aesthetic repair though surely. The carbon dust will not be a good replacement for the severed fibres and associated reduction in strength.
Standard atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psi and according to Wikipedia a 'low vacuum' is considered between 14.5-0.44 psi so quite a range! A perfect vacuum is of course 0 psi. Don't think 150 psi can be considered a vacuum...
