Any question answered...

How many lasers did Cinelli make?

models or total numbers produced?

I've already had my appendix removed, this is higher up and feels just like a mild stitch, especially with deep breaths, it certainly doesn't feel critical.

Internet diagnosis: Hernia? Worth going to see a doc about it if there's still pain after 3 days.

After spending some time searching for these yesterday, it seems like Sigma are the only place (in the UK at least) who currently have these in stock.

Currently awaiting an email telling me they have cancelled my order as they're no longer in stock...

London Cycle Workshop have a couple of those in stock today.

They also have, wait for it, Vittoria Open Pave in all black, 25mm too.

Total numbers if possible, models+variations of each would probably be too confusing.

St. Pancras has dedicated indoor cycle parking in the multi-storey car park out the back, bit out of the way if you're heading to Euston Road, but if you're popping out CSM/Camden way then could be more useful.

best grease to use in loose ball hubs? Also anyone know what size loose balls i'd need for 7710 hubs and where i could get some?

Where are you placing the centre of mass?

Very much guessing at total mass, wheel track and mass distribution as I was on the phone, not a real computer. It's actually heavier and wider than I guessed. I was putting the CoG at half the track width above the ground, i.e. a 45° lean would be the tipping point.

Seems I was right about the way to manually tip them over, and it seems to be a thing in the States at least

best grease to use in loose ball hubs?

>>>>>Grease thread

For balls, simply bearings , link takes you to ¼" for the rear hub, you want 3/16" for the front. You could have worked that out for yourself by googling "HB-7710 EV" to see the Shimano exploded views as PDFs

Sounds good.
If you can breathe deeply without pain discount it.

Shimanos 'workshop grease' is good stuff and comes in handy little tubes, it's the same as what they put in them from the factory.

Why does my new freehub go: 'rrrrrr, rrrrrr, rrrrrr, rrrrrr, rrrrrr, rrrrrr, rrrrrr', and not just 'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr', like my old one? Both Fulcrum.

@Itisaboutthebike slightly different models so more/less engagement points?

Yeah I thought about that. But they are both fulcrum 5's maybe 2 years apart. I know the old ones had a 3 paw setup.. Maybe the newer ones don't.

Tempted to do this to the next cunt who parks one at 90 degrees to all the other cars.

Karma would probably strike when it just bounces off the curb and falls on me...

One of the changes on the later (2014 onwards) Fulcrum Racing 5 (and 7) is a new freehub rotor/pawl carrier design, although the pawls on the HG variants are exactly the same as before.

The problem would be in obtaining a coupling efficiency of 60%, i.e. making sure most of the kinetic energy was converted into gravitational potential energy in the car, rather than being wasted on stuff like work of fracture in your bones

I think it's reasonable to assume an inelastic collision, in which a crushed and broken combination of Khornight2 and bicycle temporarily sticks to the side of the car before falling away in a crumpled bloody heap. In which case, conservation of angular momentum (with the pivot point at the base of the car's tires on the far side) will give the initial angular velocity of the car's CoM, from which we can work out how much kinetic energy was delivered.

Do you still have the figures you found for the car's mass, width and CoM height ?

can you use a 1/8" chain with a white industries eno freewheel? I'm reading conflicting product reviews and descriptions saying either 3/32" only, or designed to work with both 1/8" and 3/32"...

I was wondering, if I hit backpack first would an equal amount of energy be transfered with less shoulder crumple?

@IR, I'm 6'1 and yeah the natural thing to do is try to go over things, but I recon I can get my mass down low for a hit. #poloplayer #examericanfootball
As much as tipping one on it's back looks like fun I'm less sure I could get an up and over push from my bike on the front.

3/32 is smaller than 1/8, so the big chain will fit over tue smaller (in width) teeth.

The other way round won't work.

Have your calculations taken into account the body mass of the fat blonde/estate agent/fat blonde estate agent driving said vehicle?

Early models are LHD only, so easier to roll in a T-junction scenario.

The camber of the road should help a little.

As an alternative, you could always get 3 big mates and lift it into a walled front garden with a narrow gate....
