My hair clippers have just died. Fortunately not half way through the job or I'd be going to work hipster-style tomorrow.

Anyone know if there are decent battery powered ones these days? Would like to be able to cut my hair without fannying about with extension leads to the bathroom.

Yup it's the cold.

Have loads of ties keeping corex on the old polo bike (well and the chainring bolts...) always loose a bunch when it gets below 0.

The thicker they are the better they last, basically get the most heavy duty. (I guess something to do with surface area to volume?)

My gf is ill (started about 15hrs ago got worse about 11hrs ago) and has the following symptoms:

1. Nausea (stopped vomiting c. 8-10hrs ago
   
2. Diarrea (sporadic)
   
3. Temperature (was in 37°'s now 38.1°, but had taken some paracetamol then)
   
4. Aching joints and back
   
   

To me it sounds like standard nasty bug stuff. However, she had meningitis a while back and is lucky to be around. So that has shaken her previously blasé attitude.

Is it worth trying to get her to a clinic (it's 6.40pm here), and risk the inconvenience and discomfort of a taxi, or just wait it out for a bit and try the usual fluids stuff? She has got to be pretty dehydrated as she can only drink a little at a time.

Cheers.

Personally I'd wait it out but I'd hate to give that advice and it turn out to be something nasty.

Can you phone a doctor?

We have NHS direct and it's great to phone up and put your mind at ease if she's getting a bit anxy.

Cheers.

An incall doctor didn't seem to be an option when I was talking to the hostel lady.

I mainly just wanted to talk through my Logic and make sure it made sense. I'm now just trying to give her fluids and sugar as she seems to be able to hold them. Luckily the clinic is 24hrs.

Cheers Dave, that looks like it'll do the job.

Looking for a steel cross frame with traditional horizontal tt geometry for < £400

Any otp options out there?

Apart from the brother cycles Kepler

23mm, but I really wouldn't recommend it on account of getting the rims damaged if you hit a pothole.

25mm should do the trick, there's are no reason to go smaller, unless you believe in those conventional wisdom.

Cheers ed. 23 is pretty skinny. Probably going to try 27mm and see how that pans out.

Surly Straggler?

That's a good compromise, 27mm will feel like a 25mm on those rims, but with the additional comfort of a 32mm.

Is it bad etiquette to join two cycling clubs?

Says nothing and turn up in different cycling club jersey.

You'd normally join one as first claim member, then join others as a second claim member.

I have a 23mm rubino pro (more like a 24mm) on the front on a aerowarrior rim and before that i've had gp 4000s and continental triathlon in 23mm. No problem at all.

(..and it looks aero...)

23mm rubino pro (more like a 24mm)

It's more like 24mm because it's on a fat rim. As I said fairly recently, you can use 700×20C tyres on rims which are 24mm overall width, but you'd only do so if you were sure that there were aero benefits which easily outweighed the extra rolling resistance and all the other costs.

No its more like 25-26mm wide on the rim. I said it, because gp 4000s appear to be true to size where as rubino pro are a bit larger than their official sizing. Sorry for the confusion.

rubino pro 23mm on aerowarrior -> 21mm high 25-26mm wide
gp4000s 23mm on aerowarrior -> 20mm high 24-25mm wide

both -> work fine!
