Any question answered...

Anyone know what the speed limit is for Morval Road/Dulwich Road?

Somewhere in here, I suppose: http://www.itoworld.com/map/5?lon=-0.06818&lat=51.46647&zoom=13

Edit: oh god i'm miles too far east. 30-35, according to that map anyway.

Edit2: or 80-85 if you are a young rudeboy in a hatchback with your mates, obv

Bah, I was doing 20.8, I had hoped it was a 20.

Back on Monday but @Doctor_Cake might be able to help @Ecunard out.

O_o I thought you were back on Saturday?

GSM @ 1900MHz should give you 2G on all carriers, except that Verizon and Sprint use CDMA (device-keyed) rather than SIM-based GSM.

UMTS @ 2100MHz only matches T-Mobile's AWS network.

So, my best bet is to get a US SIM that's not Verizon or Sprint? Any suggestions for alternatives?

Get a T-Mobile SIM so you can access data and use google maps etc.

It's for use during a race so I only need it for calls and maybe texts. Although I guess we should get data equipped SIMs for our smartphones.

Thanks

Right I've just about lost all patience.

Has anyone got a long one of these that I can borrow? (Front brake caliper nut)

I've been waiting 3 bloody weeks for the one I ordered to turn up (seller failed to tell me he was in Belgium) and I can't go any longer without riding the bike.

Needs to be 31mm or more in length. Preferably located in SE, or W or central London.

It's in Croydon.

Bastard

Which one? There's one in Sydney spits and one in Melbourne cheers.

@Hovis I have one on a brake caliper in spares box

That's two more Croydons than any sane country should tolerate.

Australia is far from sane.

can we have our croydon gentrified? can there be fixies?

Anybody had much experience making a coke can shim for bars/stem?

Don't.

You can get away with it for a seatpost because if you get it wrong, your seatpost just slips down or rotates.

If a bar shim doesn't work properly your bars could suddenly rotate mid-corner and you will faceplant. (Assuming drops, bullhorns etc)
