I reckoned there was a spot of goldfish memory going on. :)

It doesn't matter where you look - there's always something wrong with it. The horror follows you round the room like the eyes on a creepy portrait.

Stretchy belt drives.

Stretchy Normal Chain that are worn out ...

...chains don't stretch though.

...chains don't stretch though.

Well ... they don't but the affect of the links wearing is essentially them getting longer and it appears that they have lengthened ... which is a lot similar to stretching ... can we stop playing with semantics?

This:

anyone else noticed that even the inner tubes are different, with different length valves?

Except for the stretching obviously...

Which won't happen.

Sure it will, it's a belt.

Depends what it is made out of.

Smaller bits of belt, duh.

Not really ... stop being an idiot.

All material stretch over time include metals (in fact nothing is completely solid, put brass and iron in contact and they will flow into one another .. over hundreds of years) .... Belts can be bloody strong, all the force is along the belt .... just optimise the material to suit the stress/strain properties which are needed..... what is so hard to understand about this shit?

The bit about them not stretching.

Some materials will not stretch under a until a certain strain is applied ... it called Hooks law .. until you reach the elastic limit it will not stretch permanently.

Look this shit up ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke%27s_law

As long as the stress doesn't reach this limit it will not stretch permanently.

If he acts like a cock it ain't my fault.

It's called Hooke's law ;)

^ cock ... I fucking misspelt it ... whoopey do.

You must be thinking of chains.

Think he was thinking of belts ... since he said he was thinking of belts ( I can do this shit all day)

But it's night.

there are 24 hours of the day .. and at the moment there is something like 11 - 12 hours of darkness... I don't discriminate between the two ... it all part of the "day" ... you pendantic shit.
