Any question answered...

Does anyone know what kind of BB thread Sun Worksop Snipe frames have? I assume it's british thread?

I think there's a danger that it's Raleigh thread. Best to take it out and see, first to check that you can actually dismantle it before committing to buying new parts, and second to check for the dread 26tpi threads.

Hey thanks man, yeah it's visiting that very bit of the sheldon site that put the fear in me. I the crank arm is acting up and the BB doesn't feel right and i'm riding it fixed, which apparently isn't ideal with the soft cotter pin cranks.

I'll have to get someone to try take out the BB for me, i have neither the knowledge nor the tools. I just hate the possibility of not having a ride for any length of time.

What is the average monthly income for a British Person?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=average+british+income

Around £20k

£20k a month?
i must be doing it wrong

Not so according to -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_the_United_Kingdom
http://career-advice.monster.co.uk/salary-benefits/pay-salary-advice/uk-average-salary-graphs/article.aspx
http://www.worldsalaries.org/uk.shtml

All saying from £20k to £30k. Another thing to think about is how much is the average person earning. As a carpenter I only brought home £26k because I did hundreds of hours of overtime.

Im talking after tax.

If £26k is the average, it means the average person has £500 per week. Which seems absurdly high, dont think I know anyone with that much money. Perhaps I associate with too many poor people. Or perhaps there is a massive split, with 'most' people getting closer to 10k (like minimum wage) and lots of other people getting 50k in management jobs. It also seems like statistics are ignoring part timers.

Sorry, I thought you asked about footballers. It's something bit above £20k a year.

Mainly for the South East.

£2k-6k a week for a gang elder shoting crack. Just saying...

average UK pre-tax income of full-time employees is £26k. note that this excludes self-employed and part-time, as well as obviously the unemployed (not just people on jsa but also full-time mums etc). £26k annual income (ie before tax) equates to £385 or thereabouts after tax, and less than that if you have a student loan.

so the average figure for just a uk person (not full time employee) will be considerably less than £385 net a week. and yes also the average is skewed because there is a minimum that a full-time employee can earn, which is roughly half of the average, whereas large numbers of people are paid two or three times the average, and a few earn ten times it or more.

also there are massive regional variations - which makes sense because of even greater regional variations in the cost of living, in particular price of housing/rent. there are also massive variations by age - so if you are in your 20s and most of the people you know are too, or if you live in the north-east, then you will probably just know people that are poorer than average.

but what is the life expectancy of a gang elder shotting crack?

Lugged steel frame built up with modern-ish bontrager and sora bits from a Trek. Would this be anti porn?

To avoid skewing the 'average' due to bankers and footballers earning millions, it is usual to give the median income, not the mean, when discussing the 'average'. I think you'll find that most sites giving figures around £26k p.a. are using the median. The mean is actually pretty close to this if you take the national income and divide between everybody, including the kids, annual per capita GDP is about £25k.

GDP/GDI/COE mixup

GDP = GDI±statistical discrepancy
What is COE?

Church of England.

somebody posted a pic on here - i saw it a few days ago i think -of steel touring frame they had done up - dark paint, non-brooks, black saddle, flat bars and rear gears i think. looked very tidy - where the fuck is it?

edit - stumbled upon it http://www.lfgss.com/thread75421.html#post2528717

i need some new hubs

the chainline for my goldtec's with the sram omnium is off

so would like a nice pair of hubs where the front can be used with a pit lock, as i tend to lock rear wheel and frame together its the front wheel that needs a secure locking system

what would people suggest? as the intention is to keep the hubs for a long time durability/robustness is important - ideally sealed bearings as its for use on the road

Have you tried reversing the sprocket? Not sure if it works, and it won't help the GDP, but if it does you've just saved yourself the £200 you were about to drop on a pair of Phils.
