  1. I'd also heard that and also had the same theory about the descent rate. 4500ft/min is probably a 'this is going totally tits up' value, meaning people could get into the cockpit if the pilot(s) were in trouble. If it's less than that the override stays in place and the guy stays in the cockpit by himself... I'll ask my mate next time I see him.
  2. I thought that was precisely the reason it was developed? Might be wrong though! Edit: Sadly I am wrong - that would have been a good story! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate
  3. I'm sure the Ali C Which Disc Brake Am I Going To Use This Week Gameshow will still continue
  4. All sorted, be back with you tomorrow
  5. The recent reasonably significant increase in temperature would help, especially if doing a few short trips, but I guess you're still on motorway mileage?
  6. Likely to be one M6/M8 and the other M8/M8, but you should check.
  7. Yes, providing you have M6/M8 slaves and use a shroud nut / olive between the splitter and slave.
  8. Yes. It's f**ked though, get a new one, lol.
  9. Got some cranks in front of me and a Rockman freewheel (same thing). Silly question, but... Is the bashring fitted the right way round? You mentioned it needing 2-3mm more clearance to the outer of the freewheel, the step that's meant to sit against the crank arm to prevent the bashring rotating is 2.5mm, the lip on the other side to give clearance to the outer of the freewheel is 1mm. Unless you mean radial clearance rather than lateral clearance? In this case I can see how it could be very very close (see attached photo) - if you want to post us your right hand crank / axle / freewheel / bashring we can machine the bash to clear. No charge of course, and quicker than receiving parts from Hong Kong. Just let me know
  10. Good call, I need to try that, cheers! Totted up tonight's tea, ~1300 calories, oops.
  11. We thought it would be a standard thing people know to check on installation as its not a crank specific issue, it would happen with any cranks, apologies. The back of the bash will wear away to create clearance (had the same myself in the past) but its not the ideal solution. Will have a look at some bits in the morning
  12. M6 barbed fittings. Should be on the product description, if not my apologies, let me know and I'll add it!
  13. Trialtech. Easiest to fit, most durable. In theory it shouldn't even out the slaves, but for some reason in practice most people have found an improvement.
  14. Jesus, wish I struggled to eat, can easily put away 1200 or more in one relatively healthy meal!
  15. Looks the same to me?!
  16. Just got back from an 18 mile / 2000ft climbing MTB ride which started and finished on my doorstep, now eating some f**king tasty home made sweet chilli chicken and salad wholemeal wraps, then got 2 hours of tennis this afternoon. And its sunny so I'll probably take the dog put for a drive with the roof off later. Good way to spend my last free day until May! Just need Liverpool to spank ManUre now...
  17. Damn right. As Alex said Dan, it takes a while for this 'stage of indifference' to come about. I can't remember when it started happening for us, but nearly 11 and a half years down the line it takes some work
  18. You say that, but it's just like The Tinder Thread but for people who actually care about each other and have had a connection for years If it was exciting when you first started seeing each other, try something new that makes it exciting again. Even if it's weird or you don't enjoy it, the trust and understanding you have built up will allow you to laugh it off and it will bring you closer.
  19. So, apparently theft of a vehicle that was locked, immobilised and alarmed (and the only key being in my possession at the time of the theft) is classed as a 'fault claim' - because there is no 3rd party for the insurance company to put blame on and claim back from, it comes back on the policyholder. Twats.
  20. Now that does sound gay...
