  1. oh...well i know you are a practising engineer of some kind...right? anyways...Ti = too expensive
  2. i was naive...and for some reason I belived supercycles when they said I would invalidate the half price replacement policy if i looked at the fracture under an SEM.. edit- im such a geek
  3. you're confusing yourself...tis not important
  4. you're talking about different things..? some Ti alloys DO have a greater yield than stainless- spokes are going to be stainless steel with a yield i guess around ~600MPa at the most...standard alpha/beta 6,4Ti alloy is ~900MPa and forteh probably knows way more about engineering than you do...? peace
  5. share the know then...where can we find that stuff?! borough (ish)?
  6. hahaha! perhaps not so funny at the time..

  14. yeah...can see my house...weeeeeeeird
  15. its been pretty harsh my end...my campus is in one of the most exclusive areas ever and trying to find accommodation near it is not easy. Its either live a bit further and end up paying a fair bit on travel (london transport is expensive...no doubt) or pay a bit more to live nearer and walk/cycle...i'm currently paying £120 a week exc. bills which is pretty average..you'll not find anything for under £100 realistically..unless you share (a room)? maybe east london is easier though..? that means that i can't afford to pay the rent over the summer months when i'm not at college so i've moved back home every year and saved a bit. I started off doing some bar work to get a bit of money in the first year, but since then i've just worked full time over the summers and it's got me by.. 4 years in london has left me in some substantial debt and to be honest...london is nowhere near as much fun if you can't afford to do things! but then there's always something on.. still...definitely been worth it and i'm sure i'll miss it..one day adam
  16. clacton any good to you? edit- check the vids forum for a look..
