  • I have an HP t5325 thin client (running HP OS, a version of Ubuntu, I think). Does anyone know if flash player can be run on it, and, if so, how?
    Functions well as a browser, but is limited by its inability to play media

  • sj, yjsy rc[;oms oy yjrm

    I know, everybody misses the 'Last Post Wins' thread.

    NOT! :)

  • Can anyone identify the model of these campy pedals?

  • Once wrapped and packed for postage how much does a set of rims weigh.

    Need to source some quotes for postage and can't access the rims in question.

    Cheers.

    Depends on the rims innit?

    Look online for technical specs (which should tell you the weight) and then weigh packaging, add the two together, bingo!

    Cheers. Hadn't thought of that.

    Deep V's = ~520g + RM standard pacel to UK = £4.41
    IRD cadence = ~465g + RM standard pacel to UK = £4.41

    ^ so basically what rim it is makes no difference in price.

    Anyone know what the rough weight of a wrapped set of rims comes to within 100g or so?

    Cheers.

    Oh and fwiw, yes squirting is just pee.

  • Oh and fwiw, yes squirting is just pee.

    Quote of the day. Who was asking?

  • ^I'm not so sure

  • squirting is just pee, right?

    ^him.

    I'd like to know the story behind the question.

  • Jokes. To coroborate the above I found this forum, and the way it starts it reads just like lfgss.

    Oh lord. The easiest thing would be to do a search on the topic. There are a crapload of them.

    oy.

    +1.

    No.

    +1 probably

    ^ quoted just in case anyone was at work - altho it is *reasonably *safe for work.

  • Its on wikipedia.

  • wikipeedia?

  • lolz

  • Has anybody else found that Italian threaded BBs unscrew themselves through use?

  • Depends what are you using it for.

  • Why would the thread size be relevant?

  • Regular commuting. I've been riding my new bike for less than a week, and the BB has unscrewed twice, just by regular riding on roads. Just checked Sheldon, and he reckons this is a common occurrence with Italian BBs. Well, he's right.

  • Why would the thread size be relevant?

    It's not size, it's the thread's direction I think...
    Use loctite.

  • It is the thread direction - according to Sheldon, they're 'prone to problems due to the right-threaded fixed cup, which tends to unscrew itself in use'. That's exactly what's happening. Loctite it will have to be.

  • By the way, TS, what BB you've got there? Do you use proper tools?
    I bought a proper Park Tool Campagnolo one which you can use with BBs like Veloce (with notches). You can borrow it if you want.

  • Unsure of the type in this bike, to be honest - bought it complete. Full City bikes have been reinstalling it for me - seen them twice in two days now, unfortunately. I know on my other bike I've got a Centaur on an English frame and I don't have this problem, so Campagnolo must make exclusively English threaded BBs now, right?

  • ^him.

    I'd like to know the story behind the question.

    just wondering what it is after seeing/feeling it happen.
    Only saw in in teh "movies" before.

  • Anyway, the squirting saga is more interesting...

  • Yes Italian bottom brackets can unscrew themselves. You either have to torq the crap out of it (Reen method) or locktite it (my method)

  • Sumo, what is the exact method for Locktite?

  • ^ there is a really good summary by someone on here (retro de corsa?). The problem is I think its in the body of a thread possibly not directly linked to the title.......
