Eww... that looks nasty. Again it's obviously just personal choice but that looks like a rubbery G-Shock or something.

Sorry, I was meaning that the weight wouldn't be in kg's .

Are you sure about that?...

Yeah, I think you need to work out the volume from mass and density then the buoyancy is equal to the weight of water displaced (I think, been a looooooong time since I did this stuff!). You've then got gravity pulling the iron down and buoyancy pushing it up giving the apparent weight of the iron. That's what I'd be doing, anyway. Edit: for shapes and stuff you would usually do length x breadth x height or whatever but if given any two of mass, volume and density you can work out the third since they are simply related.

Spot on . Cheers for the heads up!

Same here. Very happy and have been for a long time. Wouldn't change anything for the world (well, maybe a Euromillions win would be nice).

So we can subsidise another bloody tight Scotsman?! Awa' and bile yer heid.

Get the f**k out. Reported for inflammatory posting and Red Dwarf ignorance. How dare you? How very dare you?

But why Kevin Bacon? His face annoys me...

Ah... of course. And why not?

Before it was abandoned (only 7 years ago!) http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=FSW&action=display&thread=26537&page=1

Ah, ok, you're absolutely right. My brain obviously wasn't switched on properly this morning! For some reason I was thinking about it arse about face.

Surely if you do that for the high and low adjusters the chain would be touching the cage when you change gear at the rear?

Yeah, the only place we've used round here have a 100 quid minimum order so 25 seems pretty good.

However, if you include the cost of the bolts in the equation, assuming you pay by pound coins that would normally be in your pocket, by my reckoning you would save another half kilo. So there you go, Ti bolts give you double the benefit saving literally 545g on your average bike/rider assembly.

RIP Prof. Sid Watkins. A truly brilliant man and a loss to the sport. I sound like Rusevelt, don't I?!

Yeah, sounds like there must be a load of slack which the lever's taking up first before being able to make the cage move. Also have a look to see that the mech hasn't been knocked or bent as that'll also cause issues.

I didn't think we had a validation system anymore...

Received today- thanking you kindly! Will send some pennies over

Sorry to thread-jack but Mr Anzo, any ideas what I can do about my HTC dilemma? Can be rather annoying!!

Would I do something like that?... It's a Polisport MMX one actually

Ah cool. I replaced the bulb the other day because the high beam had blown but the 35W/35W standard Bosch appears to be pants!! Don't really ride at night much but worth changing it anyway.

Possibly a long shot but try turning off the WiFi connection on any phones connected to the router. My Sony laptop will do exactly what you describe if either my wife or I's HTC's are connected to the WiFi before I turn the laptop on. Very odd... Would be interested to find out if yours is similar! Once the phones are disconnected you may need to 'repair' the laptop connection or restart the router but that usually works for me.

Having ridden the bike today for the first time in a couple of weeks, I retract my statement about speeds and gears. 20mph is definitely first gear territory, sorry about that! Bike flew through the MOT today although the guy reckons my headlight is shite- struggled to illuminate the board ~4m in from of the bike to check if the alignment and height was ok! Nevermind eh?!!
