Any question answered...

Usually, but the 28mm have a massive amount of sidewall leaving it exposed when cornering even slightly.

It's more accurate to says that one side of the sidewall is wider than the tread.

You went for the Orange GP4000SS?

Continental breakfast, Ed...

Can you fabricate Park Tools IR1 out of stuff?

I have the 25mm. Can't complain.

Look at the 28mm;

IR1 is a bellaches, buy yourself an extremely strong magnet instead (strong enough to hook onto the cable and drag it from the inside).

!!! The annoying thing about the ones I have is that the gumwall is not straight, giving the illusion that your front wheel is out of true as it spins and you look down at it (at least on the first ride).

Missed call on my phone. Google of number brings me to this very site and a member who has been inactive since 2012 (goodbuddy). While it's not out of the realms of possibility that someone is time traveling in order to buy an old wheel from me or something I suspect it's more likely that the number has changed hands and is nothing more than an amusing coincidence. Which brings me to my question: how often do mobile phone number get reused? Presumably there is a finite number but are we really there yet? And if not why are numbers recycled?

The numbers get reused a lot so it's quite possible. Although their aren't that many users on here so it does seem quite a coincidence. Text DAS them and see what they reply :)

It takes ages to get the courage to tell someone, you know?

Presumably there is a finite number

The theoretical maximum number of UK mobile numbers as we use them now (07xxxxxxxxx) is 10⁹, so we shouldn't be close to exhausting them yet. About 5×10⁸ have been issued so far, but we're ripping through them ever faster as more and more things get mobile connectivity (cars, utility meters, security systems, basically anything where remote monitoring is required)

how often do mobile phone number get reused?

All the time. Apparently only 10-20% of issued numbers are still active (must be more people using burners than we thought), so inactive ones get deactivated and thrown back into the pool to be reissued.

Not all 07xxx numbers are mobile numbers, only 071 -075, 077 - 079, 076 are pager numbers (Try buying one now though).

Also 070 are personal numbers, and are charged differently to mobiles.

Also, a tiny number of them (07700 900xxx) numbers don't exist, and are for use in films etc, like 555 numbers in the US.

Not all 07xxx numbers are mobile numbers

I'd forgotten about pagers (even though I had one back in the 90s) and those stupid 070 'personal' numbers. That leaves a bit less than 8×10⁸ issuable mobile phone numbers, which is only about 10 per person given that population is likely to hit 7×10⁷. It's pretty tight if much of the internet of things is going to be connected over the mobile network.

True, but AFAIK, 04 and 06 aren't allocated to anything as yet so they may come into use?

They have been a bit forward thinking so phone networks only get some digits after.

If it gets too bad everything will just go online so you call emails and stuff like many are doing already.

If it gets too bad everything will just go online

How will it go online? The easiest and most reliable way at the moment is over the mobile network.

They will just add another digit like they did with area codes in the 90s

04... numbers could be more digits long than other numbers.

You don't really need the number though, just an IMEI.

Would white polish (?) bring this saddle back to a better state of repair?

Something like this is going to be better than polish.

With white particularly, the difference can be quite significant.

how could I remove logos from Easton EC90slx forks - just fine sandpaper and a lot of care?

Razor blade can also work. It's quite frustrating work though.

Blade as per @umop3pisdn also use a hair dryer to soften the area of the logo to aid the blade.

How do I get all the cute rockets into a post please?
