Cardio Trainer.

I use Cardio Trainer. It's supposed to be for doing proper workouts and stuff but I've used it for both running and on the MTB and it tracks your route, gives speed, distance, time, elevation and stuff which you can save in the history and compare with future rides to see how you're doing. And it's free. Would definitely recommend giving it a go.

I have literally no idea who that is... Edit: And that interview seems to just be a picture of him.

No worries! Bashguard kinda means bashplate but the term can as easily cover both bashplates and bashrings! Easy to get confused without pics.

You're correct about the rules. In competition, stock bikes are not allowed to have bashplates, that is wide metal plates suspended beneath the BB. They are only allowed bashrings to cover the sprocket/freewheel. There have been a couple of street oriented stock bikes which have incorporated the ability to run a bashplate but neither were that popular- those being the mark one Onza T-rex and the Base B26.

It should of course be noted that any reference to 'Maddie' in this thread, humorous, twisted or otherwise, relates to Madeleine McCann, victim of parental infanticide, not Madison.

In theory neither way is 'better' than the other. With the axle clamped up properly the amount of brake flex would be comparable for each case. Personally if I had to flex the frame out in order to put the washers inside I'd probably run them outside just to reduce the stress going through the seatstays/chainstays. Having said that, having them on the inside will make your life easier when putting the wheel in as they will be positively located on the axle, whereas on the outside they're bound to slip occasionally and need repositioned as you tighten the QR. Inside, definitely inside. Or outside.

Thinking about it (which I really shouldn't) those are almost the exact sizes you'd need to make a perfectly sized coffin... Too far?

Yup. A washer with a 10mm hole will be spot on. You could run it either on the inside or outside of the dropout depending on how much 'play' there is in the frame.

Haha, nah you're alright

Are you kidding me? Seriously, what the f**k?! I'm surprised they don't have penis size or maximum anus diameter. That's just weird.

C'mon, everyone knows her parents did it, probably by accident of course, but still. Are the pictures screened before going up? If you did put a pic up, how long before the police came knocking?

Are Gary Glitter's eye brows drawn on with brown felt tip?

It's ok JT, we all know you're special .

Simmer for a couple of minutes, lightly season then serve.

No, boiling them does help. I usually boil the pads and rotor then stick the pads in a hot oven for 5-10 minutes. Bed them back in and keep your fingers crossed...

I like cake.

567/3 is five hundred and sixty seven thirds. You basically have 567 * 1/3. When you simplify it you're looking for common divisors between the numerator and denominator. In this case that's three and as such 567/3 simplifies to 189. If you had 568/3 you have 568 * 1/3. Compared to the last example you have one extra third left over meaning that you could simplify it to 189 and 1/3. It's kinda like dividing with a remainder.

Nooooooooo.

I'm with him.

In my mind simplifying fractions doesn't mean converting to 4 and a half (or 4.5), it means reducing a fraction to it's simplest form, as Rowan said.

Are they actually removing the way healthcare is paid for (i.e. we no longer pay NI contributions and instead pay for personal health insurance) or are they just looking at privatising certain sectors in order to improve efficiency (in theory) and 'streamline' things?

Do bears shit in the woods? Tarty are by far the best trials shop in the UK, most probably Europe and very possibly the world. Apart from plans of world domination, they will certainly be able to sort you out with a Zoot .

Finally passed my Viva last week so am now officially a Doctor of Engineering. Still work in the wind tunnels at the University of Southampton but am soon to take over the management of the tunnels and take on a bit more of an 'academic' position, supervising a PhD student as well as undergrads.
