Do you smell your frame a lot?

Another cause for hilarity at the cheating scum in road racing... Fabian Cancellara. Discuss.

He suffered horrific injuries when some pipes fell on him at his work a few days ago. He was put on life support but has tragically lost his fight and passed away yesterday. Jack: Probaby worth changing the title or first post to make the situation a bit clearer as not everyone will be aware of the circumstances.

Absolutely awful news. Such a tragic loss. I only met him a few times but he seemed like such a chilled, friendly guy and really down to earth. My thoughts are with his family and friends .

Coulda fooled me after yesterday's performance . The biggest issue I have with the current English football frenzy is that you all expect to win every match and expect to go a long way in the WC. For most countries, including the biggies like Brazil, the fans seem to want the team to win and are passionate and supportive of the team, regardless of whether they actually win or lose. Obviously they'd like their team to win but don't necessarily expect it like England fans seem to.

I'm guessing a few others could also be 'urban legends'.

1.2kg?!

:facepalm:

Wow. Not sure I'd want online technical support from someone who doesn't know where the caps lock button is on a keyboard. Reported. Please don't spam.

I r impressed!! That looks really good- well done for seeing it through!

If by 'dark lord' you mean 'Clifford', then yes, yes he is. Antitron vid series on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ate2yNhLVUc

First up, very few frames have 2mm tubes these days from what I unerstand. The Inspired has a 2mm downtube and that tube is hench. You'll probably find that Rockman frame has ~1mm tubing on the downtube and possibly even less in the centre if it's butted. Secondly, unless you're some freakishly weak starving child from Africa I'm pretty sure you could completely demolish a frame with a hammer, especially using 'all your possible strength'. Round tube's aren't that strong if you try and crush them (coke can as an example which some modern lightweight frames aren't far from) so a hammer blow is going to muller a tube. The protector will dissipate the force of an impact (within reason) along the length of the protector and will go a long way to saving your frame. Add in the 43g mass and pimp carbon-ness and I don't really see the joke! Edit: *cough*

That sounds really nasty- hopefully he's in good hands though and will pull through. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

OMG, what are the chances?!

You've got to giggle haven't you?

Cool beans.

I really wish they'd start sending off all these pansies who jump on the ground when someone gets within a metre of them, writhes around in apparent agony for five minutes then gets up and carries on just fine because there was NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM TO START WITH! It's a joke. However... that was a beast of a goal by the Brazilians there.

Will it break every 3 months like the previous ones?

Hey dude, unfortunately you've just missed the memorial ride in Pompy which was about 3 weeks ago. Until last year there was another annual memorial ride in Abingdon organised by Charlie and Sue, DJ's folks, but they have decided not to do one this year.

Wait a minute, what?

All fixed!

That's the ape index which is not always 1 by any stretch of the imagination. It's often used as a rough guide to rock climbing ability as a big ape index (long arms) will help you reach holds easier than someone with arms like a T-rex.

Ah gotcha. My bad.
