Any question answered...

That's pretty close to where he lived as well so that sounds good.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Thought about Lewes but there's not a lot to see there apart from Paine's old house and the White Hart as mentioned.

I'm taking A2 kids to Berlin next year, which should be amazing/frustrating/terrifying.

Can anyone identify this rain gilet that Cannondale-Garmin are wearing on the Tour of Alberta? It's clearly Castelli, and looks like a sleeveless version of their grey e-vent jackets.

Anyone who has ridden both sram 10 and sram 22. Is the lever action supposed to be much harder to perform for the 22 than the older group? Mine feels clunky

might be interesting to look at the influence of the european enlightenment on the thinking of the american civil war, and in particular british and scottish enlightnment, jefferson, locke etc. see http://www.articlemyriad.com/influence-enlightenment-formation-united-states/

then via that, there's http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/galleries/themes/room_1_enlightenment.aspx

the mark steel lecture on thomas paine is also pretty good/funny, not that I think 16 year old kids like left wing comedy lectures http://www.marksteelinfo.com/audio/ThomasPaine.mp3

^ +1 for all the Mark Steel 'lectures'.
Aren't the videos still available?

What are the inherent problems of disc brakes on a traditional low trail fork. Would a through axle solve any of these potential problems or are there (in theory) no problems? @edscoble and any other Bicycle Quarterly fans.

yeah, but I think the audio's better. plus the sound quality on the videos is shite if I remember rightly

Don't think so - left lever only or both?

This is what I would do, with nonconformists included (the two are hardly mutually exclusive).

I taught some American undergrads who were doing a term over here a couple of years ago. I did the tourist trip thing (British Museum, Library), but one thing I had them do was design a walking tour for me. Basically gave them a zone of central London and they each had to come up with an interesting sight they'd present on. I collected them, worked out a decent walk, and had them give me (and the rest of the class) a short presentation when we got to it.

The fork is what makes this bike fairly time-consuming to build: a beautiful bend with a properly aligned disc tab is a tricky bit of work.

Assume Jan Heine's comments would relate to the stiffness of the fork blades.

Both.

Am comparing Red 10 vs rival 22 mind, but they say the internals work the same

Work fine, but don't expect it to be stiff, I didn't have disc on my Oak for that reason.

It still work pretty well and track true which is what I wanted.

Which would be more baffling/amusing

Or
@marcom corresponding online with @fussballclub

Wtf dj :/

Jason and Ed have met twice at wests, Jason's mumblings left Ed looking quite baffled both times.

That's really useful stuff, thanks for that.

Make them teach each other? You sly, lazy bastard.

What's Tynan paste?

It's paste named after Tynan.

Cheers Scoble. Stiffness isn't really that much of an issue, a bit of flexy bouncy forgiviness should make for some comfort.

Strength in the fork crown an issue?

Thanks. Tab will be hard to make Pretty.

I don't know if there's a place to visit relating to it but you can always teach them about the Lancashire Cotton Famine.

How long do you reckon a Park Tools tyre boot will last on a 7mm cut in a tyre?

Let's find out.

Sulgrave manor?

Anything wrong with using some Tiagra 4600 cranks in 165mm with a track chainring on the inside of the spider for my track bike?
