  • You know you love it.

  • You know you love it you slag!

    Fixed.

  • I would never call Gabes a slag. He's a happily married man.

  • Ray on the other hand.

  • Ray on the other hand.

    a happily married right hand?

  • ball and chain murtle.......only a matter of time... the sand of freedom is slowly sinking to the bottom.

  • But you get divorce to look forward too afterwards.

  • long pissed up conversations on the phone....with no promises and no commitments....;)

    and im not taking about arranging our league games.

  • CU of top half of tyre (down the tread), focus on close clearance fork/tyre gap at end of strip ...

    If I had a camera, or could use one, or had any close clearence forks, with no brake, I would take this photo.

  • You all need to get married to Gabes - that would sort things.
    Thanks for humouring me object - since no other weirdo seems to care YOU WIN! + here's my take:

    Let us assume this is the upper chain-run, with the cog to the left of the picture.
    As the links approach the rear cog to wrap around it, the cleaner-looking rollers have been slightly rotated relative to the axis of the chainlinks, because of a) friction between the inner link-plate and them and b) rotation of this preceeding link section.
    The same doesn't happen to the 'dirty' rollers because the preceeding section is an 'outer-plate', which does not rotate the rollers (which are sandwiched inside the inner plates.)

    0 - the links are rotated a very small amount, and it is the cumulative effect which makes them cleaner.

    1 - I am not sure if a similar thing could occur as the links 'unwrap' from the cog?

    2 - The effect due to the chainring is less due to the smaller angle of incidence.

    3 - For the above to be viable, the cog must have an even number of teeth.

  • Sounds like a sensible option.Maybe it's a combination of the two?

    If you have a spare 14T cog i'll happily absolve you of its ownership.

  • And by the grace of me it shall be done.
    I can only dream that in the long Winter ahead we can look at the alternating dirty/clean rollers on your bike and reflect on the pointlessness of this derailing.
    Tymen.

  • Tymen.

    Ha! :D

  • You Sir, are a legend.

  • Yours should be..

    RAPHA RAPHA RAPHA and a nice big pink stripe :P

  • Hey VB, not sure if this intentional, but the header wraps on my monitor when firefox is maximised. Might be because my monitor is too wide :-/

  • Yeah, your monitor is massive... what would you prefer? Wrapped image, or just a grey background when the image ends?

  • I have 2 of em next to each other :)

    Whatever works for you is best, I don't mind it as it is - was just drawing it to your attention. If I had to choose, I would say wrap it the image but not the text.

    EDIT - 99% of time my windows aren't maximised anyways

  • the text is in the image.

  • Maybe that's the key... make the text it's own layer but keep the white fade line in the image.

  • So, is there a way to disable the header image(s) but keep the avatars?
