CC12345678910 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 In the other tab I'm browsing for a little computer that I can put it the garage to play my music through. I had to share this item description though. "Hello. This is my (soon to be yours) Compaq Netbook. I won't bore you with the specifics, its a Netbook. It isn't much different to any other Netbook out there. It works. The battery is OK. It has three (yes, three!) USB slots. I don't remember why I even bought this thing, I woke up confused, a little hungover, and somewhat annoyed at myself when I read notifications saying I had purchased this as I didn't really need a Netbook. But, at least I didn't drunk text my ex. Small win. Anyway, if you need a Netbook (or maybe you're drunk like I was, and you're doing some online shopping), then look no further. This is perfect for watching Arsenal completely dominate a game for 80 minutes, and then conceding two in the final 10, or watching your favourite online erotica. Whatever your Internet streaming needs (films, music, football, porn), this little fella is perfect. It's on Windows 10, but I'll reset it back to Windows 7. Pictures show HDD and processor stuff. I'll start the bidding at a tenner. Why not. Any questions, as per, drop me a message. Chur boys." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 21st has been sweet so far. Night out in Leeds last night, a day recovering today, meal out with the mother was good as I rarely get chance to see her for any amount of time. Few gifts from people here and there, and a pint or two later on with a mate. Nothing extravagant, just the right people doing the right things. Content. I'm going to order myself some coilivers later as a present to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Had an under 7s tag rugby festival this morning, first time out as a club squad and the lads did really well with some awesome running, passing, team support and trys. This coaching lark is really rewarding! I also learned today that refereeing a rugby game without a whistle or stopwatch is pretty hard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 My sons Frog Bike (20" wheeled hybrid thingy) has been in need of a new drivetrain for a while now but it came with a fixed hub and screw on 7 speed cassette freewheel. Had a search about and managed to get hold of a 28h freehub so he could have the old 9 speed Deore gears off his brothers Orbea and I just finished building the wheel up reusing the original rim and spokes! I was expecting to have to order spokes but it's all gone together perfectly, always nice when that happens as now he won't have to go without a bike for a few days! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I can never get the spokes right at the valve either. Completely pot luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 We just ordered Reuben a frog 55 in the team sky colours, he's outgrown his old islabikes 16" and the bike shop is going to send the new one to Santa to get ready for Christmas Orienting the spokes around the valve hole is easy. Starting from the valve hole, lace up one direction of spokes on one side only and twist the hub the right direction to get an obtuse angle by the valve hole. Then starting on the spoke across the valve hole, lace a spoke in the opposite direction and hub side; complete that side counting the nipple holes and you will have a spoke either side of the valve with the correct orientation. Now a good wheel builder will get the hub logo aligned with the valve hole 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Screw a TL : DR for wheel building, I taught myself how to lace wheels age 16. I was helping my dad install some load banks at the labs for MEM and whilst on the M6 up to manchester I had an old 48 spoke bmx rim, hub, second hand spokes (mostly the wrong length) and nipples (mostly rounded) in the footwell of the car. It took a few attempts but by the time we had driven from the very bottom of staffordshire to rochdale I had a laced wheel that was almost straight and round Built all of my own wheels since, several of my mates and whilst they might not be within 0.5mm tolerance in all directions they're pretty damn straight and strong. I've since upgraded to park spoke keys but still use a ziptie on the forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 OBM has a how to in the beginners forum, sadly all the pics have now gone and for some reason I have always had to follow the instructions in reverse ie. right/left clockwise/counter-clockwise.
