Any question answered...

Anyone used silicone gel like Dermatix on scars?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2918339/

doesn't seem to be any more effective than silicon sheet, just less visible / no need for dressings? I've had both silicon sheet and steroid injections in (keloid) scars, hard to tell whether either made much difference...

Why when I'm replaying internal messages do I not longer seem to be able to attach file like when I click reply within a thread?

Is there any reason to stop me runnng different sized tyres at the same time? Thinking of a 23 on the front and a 28 on the back.

Not at all. Many people do. I've run as big a difference as 23c and 32c

I run 23/25 but have ran 23/28. hardly noticeable. the reason being my forks only clear 23 but I like Randos or 25c Hardshells for epicskidz™

In theory, you are raising the back end, but c'mon, what's in 2/3mm?

now if you were running 19c tubular on the front and 2.4" 29er rear wheel that would be different....

I would ride 19/2.4", It'd be an interesting ride...

2/3mm LopPro is where its at!

on my fixed I currently have 47mm on the front, 32mm on the back, mainly because my back wheel has an epic buckle so anything wider wouldn't fit between the chainstays. In our current weather it's working well

Suggestions for a pudding I can take to my sisters for Xmas day.

I was set to cook something there, but she has decided it's all to busy at her place so I need to take something ready made. Would consider a nice cake but it is unlikely to arrive in one piece if I go by bike.

She has already vetoed xmas pud.

Any suggestions of something I can buy and take on a bike?

Take an Xmas pud.

Take brandy sauce, butter and cream, and a bottle of brandy.

Guaranteed to go down well.

Eton mess. Or something similar.

Jaffa cakes.

hmm, eton mess, i could just put all the constituents in my bag, and it will arrive as ready assembled

Just take lots of chocolate oranges, that's all anyone wants to eat on xmas day anyway.

depends how waterproof your bag is.

I doubt anyone would want to lick it off your Rapha shorts :D

Well. A container in your bag. Stay tidy.

i work around the corner from wholefoods so could get a meringue, some jersey cream, some strawberries...

Well there you go.

cheers, just need to find a twist of some sort, possibly sieve some passion fruit to leave with the strawberries while they macerate and add some fine vanilla extract to the cream

riding is just a euphemism for boozing. We all know why this forum is a success, everyone single one of you is a closet alcoholic.

Is this still true?

no, i no longer drink but mainly because of my excessive boozing

HTFU fatty
185rpm was uncomfortable on 48/19

I could probably still hit 200, just. It doesn't make 130rpm comfortable.

Why can't there ever be anything good to watch on TV while most of the nation are at home. Repetitive shite year on year

Really? Seems to be lots of movies on I've not seen. Okay they're old but I don't remember most of 'em.

I heard silicone sheet was better than the gel.

I'm wanting to compare the use of a gel vs. the use of my usual remedy - bugger all.

None. I ran that setup for a long time.
