Any question answered...

See if you wake up tomorrow.

Sooo... How do I find out if there's a plague pit at the end of the garden and is it a bad idea to dig the garden?

I'd be surprised if double digging unearthed anything nasty - but then I've been surprised before...

shim for 25.4 bars in 26.4 stem?
anyone found a commonly available aluminium thing that is .5mm thick?

Coke can

Coke can

Maybe in the olden days. Current production is closer to 0.1mm

5 layers of coke can

Go through the bins at http://www.londonmetal.co.uk/company/Aluminium_Sheet.htm, they (or any other stockholder who does 0.5mm sheet cut to size) will probably be glad to give you enough for a shim for the price of a cup of tea.

^Thanks, something like that is plan B. I was hoping to do it today, an Illy coffee can or one of those Purdeys bottles?

Just try shit. If it fits and doesn't score the stem/bars it's fine.

And they make you look bad-asser than normal MTBs.

He slams the seat at 1.10. How did he do that without loosening and tightening it again?

Dropper seatpost, very much in vogue with the STW sect

Dropper post. The most useful bike component offroad imo. You can have a lever on the bars that goes from saddle right down (jumps, rock gardens and techy sections) to right up with mm accuracy (single track etc)

Why is the LFGSS logo in the top left corner of the page sometimes blue and sometimes black?

Rider down that results in a fatality= logo turns black.

FYI, Illy coffee can = .3 mm, so perfect for the more common 25.4 > 26 mm shim.
I got away with one and a half wraps -stupid Cinelli.

Stem lengths. From what points is the measurement made?

centre to centre, no?

^Yep.

Is there a "what business luggage" thread?

centre to centre, no?

Centre of headset hole to centre of bar diameter?
Thanks

How can I get my gloves to smell less disgusting? I'm pretty sure my hands don't smell THAT bad, yet these gloves are awful. I washed them yesterday and they still smell. I really don't want to have to throw them away as they weren't cheap and other than the smell they're great (sealskinz) but if I can't get the smell to go away then I don't have much choice.

There is no way of removing the smell from gloves, only hiding it temporarily.

try washing them hotter and with a stronger detergent. I have had to throw kit away in the past that wouldntt stop smelling. I think there is a particularly deep rooted kind of mould that just stays.

^^That's what I feared :(

Put them in the freezer, that should kill any bacteria which are ponging, without FUBARing the gloves as (potentially) boil washing them would do.

And, possibly, wash more often?
