Any question answered...

is there a difference between digital audio cables? so much hi fi seems to be of questionable real world benefit

"... I will start being bicycle lazy if I have the version with the engine in it."

All bikes have an engine... How about giving the existing one a chance?

No. If it can send a signal, it can send a signal.

I obviously meant CBT you nobbers.

Got faaar too many CRBs knocking around and you can never find the one you want when you want it cos they're ALL THE SAME but noone will accept any other organisation's ones (rant thread>>>)

No, especially not for digital but in most cases for analogue as well. Any difference in the hifi store will likely be negated if you double blind the salesperson and the listener to when the cable changes.

For things like HDMI etc the only real significance is that you do need better quality for longer distances, but nothing will be sold that can't do the distance it happens to be, so that doesn't actually happen.

Yes, but not of much discernable difference. Spend the cash on a bottle of wine and some more music, much better value.

Do the CBT while it's cheap. It'll probably only be a days' training and you'll get a certificate out of it that you can use or not use at your leisure.

I sat mine a while back but didn't get a bike for ages because I spent all my money on pushbikes, now I've got a motorbike that's basically sitting in my driveway until I scrape together enough coin to have a proper bash at getting it fixed up (this is, again, due to surfeit of pushbike). If my CBT runs out before I get my shit together I can just sit it again, no big deal really.

Anyway, there's no reason for you not to go for it. Do eet.

That's the answer I wanted*

This. Ignore all the extra gold leaf they try to sell you.

Lost debit/credit cards. Anyone know where they may be?

Under my fucking chair

I went to the effort of writing a letter and posting it to cancel a post office card for my mum because she failed her security questions on the phone. Then found it immediately after.

This isn't a question.
By the time I log on many of you are already drunk. #Canada

Which country has a tradition of adding garlic to vodka ?

Presumably will come down mostly to the material of your QR skewer, and how much "excess" skewer is protruding to thread onto.

I guess the weak bit probably is the skewer itself.

I think we'll try something else instead anyway.

Thanks.

Price, marketing and gullibility factor.

Mine was in the post...

every eastern european.

How much weight are you adding?

That isn't to say that the skewer is particularly weak, and encased in the hub I doubt it can deform very much. Since it's usual purpose is to apply tension along its length I'm not actually sure that weighting it would be a problem, unless it broke through which seems unlikely.

TL;DR it's probably safer than you think, what would be the intended purpose?

~500g

I think it will take the weight of the light in question pretty easily, but since the mass is so far off centre of a small screw thread, I'd be worried about bump forces causing unscrewing.

Any reason why you're thinking of mounting the light low down? I'd have thought the area between the tri bar extensions would probably be the aero choice
