Ah so it's x and z. so y velocity should be 0 and z velocity should be 20sin20. Edit: 20 degree case: x=18.79m/s, y=0m/s, z=6.84m/s and for the 40 degree case: x=15.32m/s, y=0m/s, z=12.86m/s. Edit 2: In that last pic it looks like your inlet is at the back of the volume (behind the truck)... I'm it's not but just in case.

Assuming x is streamwise, and y is spanwise I get what you've done. i.e. if you wanted a 25m/s effective wind speed at a 20 degree angle to the direction of travel the x velocity would be 25cos20 and the y velocity would be 25sin20. The next question is whether you need to be travelling at a certain speed as that would then come into play.

How is the domain oriented? If x is streamwise, is y spanwise?

Unfortunately I haven't used Ansys' CFD capabilities... It's not as simple as defining it as a vector is it? Like U velocity and V velocity? Edit: This is what Fluent's velocity inlet set up used to look like:

Surely they'll have the odd cancellation? If it's only 2 days tell them you can be there anytime they become available just to get it done. Show enthusiasm and commitment and they're bound to cave...

Which looks remarkably similar to the Zee's:

Nah, I make a point of running a mile whenever TV cameras come out!! I was around in the background during the test and got to meet Guy which was cool. Had a quick chat to him about Danny Mac and trials as it happens!

Alternative to an Oset I guess.

He means if you were accounting for all the time you've wasted caused by Brad's retardedness the wheel might've actually cost you hundreds in lost time.

I thought it was the front tyre/wheel that was on backwards... Looks really nice though, good work!

Unlikely but a vague possibility considering the design.

Forks themselves don't look massively bent but the head angle looks super slack. Bent downtube/monocoque?

Are there no options to move sideways into a more fulfilling role in the company and potentially more permanent? If you explain your situation to the boss he may be able to help you out, especially if he's happy with what you're doing and wants you to continue. If there's no other options there for you I'd still say you'd be silly to leave without already having something lined up (in this climate anyway). If you accept the extension you could always get an awesome job next week and just work out a months notice or whatever surely?

When did it become cool to look like a homeless bum? Sponsored by Nike but if I saw any of them walking down the street I'd assume they'd just robbed some poor kid of his trainers.

So, in your professional opinion, Ads, what the hell do we actually need?! Is the Hope site wrong then- the HUB236 kit is definitely not what we'd need? Think I'll just stick with my tube bodge!

Reply from Hope: Sorry but there seems to have been a mis-understanding at this end. As we have not received any interest in converting a trials hub back into the bolted style we have not put together a conversion kit for it. The best way to get the parts you need would be to have a dealer ring our sales team and tell them what you are wanting to do. They will then be able to put the parts you need together for you.

It's true, when I've been given a stack of 50 CV's the first thing you do is get them down to a 'short-list' of maybe 10 so you have to be pretty severe about getting rid of a good number and spelling/grammar is an easy option. I've had people write 'I am very hard working and pride myself in atention to detail'. Face palm.

It looks suspiciously like Vasek was 'having fun'... I bet they didn't like that!! Very nice vid ad some awesome riding.

Luke, out of interest, were you in long enough to see the effects of the £9k fees? Has it put people off doing certain degrees/going to uni at all? I think there's been a bit of a hit to certain faculty's at Soton but not a huge problem so far. It certainly wouldn't surprise me though if there was a sudden increase in the number of people going straight from school (or 'college' as you weirdo Sassenachs call they're final year) into companies on specialist training/apprenticeships rather than go to uni.

What you're saying in a very roundabout Jardo kinda way is correct. There are (possibly 'were' now after recent changes) a lot of people who go to uni for the sake of it, do a pointless degree that there's very little chance of them ever needing/using in the future and spend 3 or 4 years having a laugh at the taxpayers expense. If you go to Uni with the right idea and a plan of what you want to do at the end then it's very powerful but if you go and do a sociology/history of art/other random degree then yes chances are you'll end up jobless or at best working at the checkouts at Asda.

I think you probably do.

And a brilliant job you're making of it too... I did a degree in Aerospace Engineering at Southampton followed by an Engineering Doctorate developing the aero package of the Ford Focus WRC06 and Ford Fiesta RS WRC rally cars. When I finished that there was a job available at the Uni's wind tunnels as a Research Engineer which I applied for and got and I'm now the 'director' of the wind tunnels at Southampton. basically look after all things related to the tunnels from the instrumentation and arranging general maintenance to helping students and researchers get the most from their wind tunnel time, supervise projects and act as consultant engineer for customers. It's pretty much what I've wanted to do since I was about 12 so can't complain!

Hmm. Tartybikes' site shows the standard 10mm bolt in axle as part HUB236 which they state as being incompatible with the EVO hubs... IRconfused.

Haha, lies!!

I'll probably find out how much the proper part is and maybe get a set of bearings so in the future I can do the kit in one go but for now the home made one seems to be doing the job fine.
