More entertaining to watch than Formula E in some ways but all a bit pants. Watched some of the qualifying and lost interest when they started handing our 175 second penaties for speeding in the (completely empty) changeover area and 25 second penalties for leaving the changeover area 0.5 seconds early. Races were pretty much over after the second corner due to visibility. Also, anyone understand the format? What was the difference between the semi-final and the CRAZY RACE? Definitely a bit meh.

Silver doesn't really match anything on the rest of the car. With the black screen surround and roll hoop etc. I'd definitely go dark.

I assume they're sealed cartridge bearings in those? Edit: Apparently not. Replacement IGUS bearing required? https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi7mdyrcyc5a8zs/Stamp 7 %26 11 Overhaul.pdf?dl=0

I'm gonna guess 58mm but could be wrong... https://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/product/58bcd-5-arm-inner-9-10-speed-triple/ Considered 'compact granny': https://sheldonbrown.com/cribsheet-bcd.html

Anyone else just not get Vittorio?

Man I have paid so little attention to F1 recently... Didn't know Carlos was at Ferrari, Ricciardo was at McLaren or Perez was at RB. Never even heard of Yuki... In other news I've started watching the F1 Drive to Survive series on Netflix which is quite well done, a good reminder of what went on a few years ago and reigniting some interest in F1.

Yarp. £5.10 second class, £16 must be using Parcel Force.

Another option(?): https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3654078664685174/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A2dc68673-cdfd-4b13-ad06-9209fed78a91

And that's exactly why the likes of Hans Rey, Jeff Lenosky and Ryan Leech have spent like 90% of their careers riding fairly traditional looking bikes that the general public can relate to. Even Danny Mac seems to be spending more time on his full sus MTBs than on his trials bikes recently (while keeping both the masses and more trials oriented viewers happy).

I imagine size will come into play but to some extent, or rather radius, planetary rotation and axis of rotation... assuming you want to model a point on your planet as an observation point and how the satellite is visible as that point versus time. I think that's the bit that will cause the biggest headache!

Fixed.

What is it you're trying to simulate? If I remember correctly he majority of the equations involved are surprisingly simple but it obviously depends on how many bodies you're dealing with as to how complex it becomes.

I just got a pair of Brand-X ones for the Whyte to replace the Maxles and don't see them causing a problem. One thing to note (though a neat feature) is that both ends have a 6mm hex in them so you can use two allen keys at once to aid install/removal. But also as Ad said I thought it was standard for them to have some awkward adjustment system built in!

I had a look at those a little while back and I confused myself as to what they actually should be... there are two options- one is to have two axle spacers, 3mm each and then a 3mm disc spacer which obviously doesn't require the wheel re-dishing but equally I'm not sure the derailleur would end up in the correct place. The second option is one 6mm spacer to run on the non-drive side and then a 6mm disc spacer but this of course means the wheel would need to be re-dished.

It's a Chris King unfortunately and I don't think they do any kind of conversions kits. I'm sure I could make it work with spacers but I don't think I can be bothered with the faff if I were to get a flat out on the trail.

I was looking at those when they were on CRC. Not sure why I didn't pull the trigger! Will keep an eye out.

So I fancy getting a hardtail frame for shits and giggles but want to be able to transfer across all the bits I can from the Whyte so that's 142x12 rear end, 650B, post mounts, threaded BB, suitable for 150mm forks, 30.9mm seatpost (ideally, obviously bigger isn't an issue)... after reasonably modern, but not too extreme, geometry but of course it can't be too new as everything has gone Boost. Thoughts on a postcard...

Did Rusevelt move to Manchester?

Ah fair enough. I was just looking at the practise example Dann showed and reckoned CAD would make that easy but looking at your pics I can see it wouldn't be that easy!

Sounds like something CAD would really help with. A couple of angles and a few dimensions would, I imagine, give you the answer you need for any conditions.

All good chief- some awesome work there! On the stainless v-band did you stitch it alternately then go back and fill the gaps? That's a serious sized decking you've got in the garden there!

@dann2707 I thought that was probably the case. It feels like the rods I have are designed to use at much lower temperature as I'm just vaporising the f**kers!!

I just wanna know how!! When I got our TIG set at work I specifically got some some brazing rods but the bastarding stuff just spits like crazy and I can't get it to wokr in the slightest. That looks wicked!

Dislike this .
