Since I'm too dumb to figure out how to start a new thread (and it may not warrant it anyway), I'll just ask this here: has anyone had knurling applied to a handlebar to help a 25.4mm fit snugly into a 26mm stem? Stein claims their tool can add up to .5mm to a surface.

How long do the batteries last? Seems so unnecessary turning something that doesn't need power into something that does - (but then I thought this about the Kindle until I got one and it was awesome).
Can anyone recommend a hotel, restaurant, or thing to do in Birmingham?
There is some very nice pre-raphelite art in the gallery.

How big is the cable and what direction does it need to go in? Maybe you could make a groove in the alloy section so it exits along the side of the bars.
Very thin- two (I don't know the term for their diameter) battery cables for a 7.4V battery, formed into one cable inside a thin sheath.
"Cable" sounds a bit big- they are wires, thinking about it.
My concern would be that a groove might induce flex, which might induce creaking, which would drive me mad, very quickly.
90% sold on going in through the (metal) BB shell, up the seat-tube and connect to an in-seatpost battery.

And it will take 0.5 off elsewhere to do it, which you can't afford on a thin walled handlebar. Use a shim.

Cross-posted from the 'Transmission database', might get answered quicker here-
I'm collecting some parts to turn my knackered Raleigh road bike into a fixed pub bike, but I've never converted a frame before. I read about some potential issues on Raleigh bottom brackets, but checking last night I saw mine was a Tange Japan model. Does this mean that I won't have too many comparability issues? I'm not actually sure what to measure to determine what replacement BB to buy to fit with the crankset I'll get.
I was thinking about just going for something like this, with the included bottom bracket - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Strongligh...item61ca3905dc

I suppose so; rules against it might once have existed in parts of the Soviet Union, when Stalin was flip-flopping between encouraging ethnic diversity and brutally imposing Russian on everybody, but these days I guess it's open to anybody who fancies having a go. The modern Bulgarian alphabet looks identical to Russian Cyrillic as far as I can see.
For Pete's sake, I knew I was going about that the wrong way. We employ a cleaning lady. She does not speak English. We neither speak nor write Bulgarian. We would like to impart some information to her. Does anyone on this forum have the capability to assist us in this matter?

See if she can understand Russian; many Bulgarians can, and you might have more luck finding somebody here who can help with Russian than Bulgarian, since Bulgaria is a small country lagging somewhat in getting in touch with Western Europe, while Russian is understood by a great many people from all over the former Soviet Bloc.
The question to ask is разбирате руски език? in Bulgarian or Вы понимаете русский язык? in Russian. The Russian is pronounced vui ponimaete russki yazik?

Would it be weird/stalkerish to send someone an anonymous mixtape?
Depends on the songs

I have a PC full of viruses. I want to recover a lots of data off it.
If I boot it up with its virus/trojan/adware laden windows OS, and copy over data to a USB hard drive. Will the external drive somehow become 'infected' ?
How about downloading some flavour of linux and booting that from the usb drive?

^^that shit seems so complicated, how do I even get ubuntu onto a flash drive? Ill try.

If your in the jewellery quarter make sure to check out the pen museum. Its jolly fantastic. I think everything else around there is kind of dull, sure there are lots of jewellers in victorian buildings. But not really in a classy way, just looks like any other high street really. Its not quaint or charming. But the pen museum is great.

There are a few venues with free live music and good open mic nights, such as the yardbird in centenary square.
Bournville is nice and quaint, there is some well interesting quaker arts & crafts architecture there like a primary school which has a giant mechanised musical clock/bell thing. Its pretty kooky. There is a art school there. The area is a lot like wimbledon in many respects, there is a green and everything.
If you want to get to cadburys world I can get you in for free, but its the most awful thing you could possibly imagine. The factory and surrounding buildings are nice, but you dont actually see any of that as part of the cadbury's world experience.
You can have a nice bike ride from the city centre down to bournville on the canal, its easy and direct and goes past Birmingham university which is a nice campus to doss around. They have a free art gallery there, just the classical kinda stuff though. Renaissance etc, no modern stuff. "The barber institute". They also have free orchestral concerts there once a week by the students in a grand art deco space. Well cool. There is also gardens at the university "winterbourne" , its free if you pretend to be a student. They dont check or anything.
If you want to roll around with the local bike gang get in touch, well sort something out. The rest of them play polo (not me though)
