Any question answered...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_sulfate

magnesium sulphate = MgSO4
Epsom salt (trademark name) = heptahydrated epsonite or just epsonite = MgSO4·7H2O

Trying magnesium sulphate first before epsonite.[U][/U]

You should be able to dehydrate the epsonite in the oven.

He could dehydrate it in the microwave. Just an idea...

I'm now thinking about rainbow sparkles. And painting the stem like a unicorn horn.

Unihorn. Sounds like a Saturday night in Feltham Young Offenders.

Where is TheorySwine?

Eh?

Too long. Off to the flounce thread...

Could the seller have made it any clearer in this advert that you are, in fact, getting a dishwasher as part of the deal?

Nikon's NRW RAW format?!? Can I convert it to use in Gimp & Faststone Image viewer? Batch convert that sort of thing? WTF is up with Nikon?

Irfanview will open .nrw, so it will also batch convert to whatever you want, probably .tif

Saw this fairly unusual setup. Anyone know why this has been done?

Out of sheer stupidity, no other reason.

At a guess I would say fairly overzealous compensation for wanting to be able to use that brake with a quick release seatpost clamp.

Turn the quick release around and also, when does one ever need a quick release on a road bike?

yeah, I hate 'convenience'

I can see it being useful on a mtb where you might want to lower the saddle for descents but on a road bike? What would you need to move it for?

so you can remove it when you lock up, you know, in case it gets pinched.... being on a quick release an all!

I think that saddle is more of a crime than the QR or the cable....

... in fact, crafty way to justify a new saddle.

Should have looped the cable through the saddle rails - theft prevention and a justification for the excess cable length in one.

I thought this is what was done here. I see no other reasons that using a brake cable a a security feature.

I reckon the owner just din't have any decent wire cutters

this makes sense

unfortunately, this is true

if I had that saddle, I'd wish someone would nick it
