Any question answered...

Durano PLUS

If he's just playing polo and wants something lighter I don't see the point.

fucking shimano spd sl's.

Despite the 7 pairs of Keos adorning my bike fleet, I'm pretty sure this is the right answer, unless you are prepared to pay the high total cost of ownership of Keos in exchange for their lighter weight.

Tester, what bikes do you own apart from the t3?

Oh, loads. Most of them are on the forum somewhere.

Has anyone bought sunglasses from 2for1glasses before?

Is there anywhere cheaper for oakley jupiter squared polarized? They have them for £135 once you ignore the crap free second pair and use the "justone" discount code.

Pubs are too busy serving ale to spivs, the bookies are too busy selling bets to those that can least afford it and all the shops are too busy chasing shoplifters. That leavers just butchers, hairdressers and a few others able to diversify into key-cutting. Butchers are harassed maniacs with sharp knifes. Any key cut from their chubby hand would be too roughshod, and likely covered in their blood and that of a cow. A customer would complain about this, I suspect.

A hairdresser is too busy daydreaming about next Saturday night out to care about your keys, or your hair. Their career is a permanent audition for the day they're plucked from the obscurity of a salon to the glory of a theatre stage, where they can make graceful swipes with a pair of scissors and toss about a comb as if it's a scalding hot iron-rod, in front of an audience with perfectly good house-keys already in their suburbia-creased trousers. Plus hairdressers live with friends only because they're incapable of opening a locked door on their own - wave a key in front of their nose and they'd look more gone out than usual.

Heh :)

I've cracked the locknut on one side of one of my hubs (miche primato). the bit just inside the dropout. where can I get a new one?

What 700c tyre should I get for the back wheel of my polo bike?

It needs to be able to take about twenty stone, be slick, doesn't really need to deal with wet much, grippy's good though, I like to over inflate tubes and I don't like fixing punctures.

It was previously a marathon plus (see last point) but as I'm no longer commuting 30 miles a day on the polo bike something lighter is a good idea. Between 25-28mm.

Is there a perfect tyre?

RiBMo?

LBS? It'll be a vaguely standard axle because you don't have to use special Miche track nuts on it.

right, LBS it is then, cheers. I was afraid it might be some silly Italian thread or something. I'm right in thinking you shouldn't have to be particularly careful to not crack one right, that's why the cheese shop?

i mean diameter, rather than thread, of course

I'm right in thinking you shouldn't have to be particularly careful to not crack one right?

Some beans or fizzy drinks usually work.

Miche components are famously made of cheese. #fact

Does anyone know a PAYG Sim only deal for USA that gives unlimited data (or near as possible - like GifGaf) and allowed to tether to a tablet?

Am i asking too much?

Actually - will my phone explode if i try to plug it in over there? Or did that only happen 20 years ago?

Check the charger, but most in the past decade at least can cope with inputs of 90-250V at 50-60Hz

Phone cries when used as GPS in the car - says it can't charge. I would typically blame the cheap ciggie lighter charger for this but could it be the car's ciggie lighter thingie itself? Is there a typical output for car lighters? Is there a company that makes decent car ciggie lighter phone phone chargers dooovies?

My phone goes flat if on charge whilst being used as a GPS - I don't think the lighter socket provides enough oomph.

In the Focus it's on and off. It'll charge happily for a while and then complain. Unplug it and it will continue to charge. Might be right on the limit but I'd rather not buy a new cable if it's the car's fault.

you can get car usb adaptors with high and low current outlets, a phone processing gps will need the latter > http://www.world-of-accessories.co.uk/dual-tablet-phone-charger-white-p-1551.html?gclid=CJeC16-FrbkCFTMftAodRl8AZQ

car ciggie lighters are fused at 15A - blue fuse, or should be

That's really cheap. Is it not limited by the ciggie lighter current or do you reckon it is probably the cheap charger I have?

cheap charger, although the one in the link states 3.1mAh(?!), it should be good enough

iirc a smart phone draws about 1A when processing an app like gps, so any charger capable of 2A should have plenty of reserve

does your phone have a mA / power meter?
