  • He's 18 and hasn't left his room for two years?

    I can think of only one thing that would entice him out and head to Poland...

  • High quality Polish sausage?

  • And a bit of dumpling.

  • He is partial to dumplings.

  • Hey,
    I got a pair of Eggbeater 3's in red (had my bike set up with red in mind) and now changing over to a full black setup. Is there any smart way to DIY paint these without the paint just chipping off straight away?
    Thanks!

  • It's definitely a start. You may find the rest of the spokes are no longer tensioned correctly, but you might get lucky and tightening the single spoke will fix your problems. Otherwise you will need to retrue.

    Good luck fishing the nipple out...

  • Guy at my club has a valve extender rattling around inside a deep rim.

    I think it was a valve extender anyway.

    At high speeds you can't hear it but when slowing or pushing off it sounds horrific.

  • how do chimneys work? If I smoke a j with my head up in the fireplace because next door's ghastly mother has come round and is complaining in their garden so I can't go outside does all the sticky goodness come out of upstairs' fireplace? Most of the spirits are going up the spout and the room smells remarkably unlike the praises of jah have been sung so I would like to continue in the immediate short term with this plan as long as I can be reasonably confident of not wafting dank evidence around the whole building. Please help.

  • Wrap insulation tape around it so it can't move as much.

  • They work with convection so the hot air rising from the fire up the chimney decides the direction. Either you need a huge j to move enough air to make it work or do it while the fire is on so the chimney is in action at the time, both seem hard to do...

    When the fire isn't on the chimney will likely work the other way with wind blowing down it.

  • does all the sticky goodness come out of upstairs' fireplace?

    No, the two flues are separate, that's why there is chimney pot per fireplace, not just one big one for the whole chimney breast which might serve many fireplaces in a town house.

  • When the fire isn't on the chimney will likely work the other way with wind blowing down it.

    Unlikely, although convection adds to the draught, you'd never get the fire lit in the first place if the wind didn't supply some draught to a cold hearth.

  • good price for a minty 6700 Ultegra groupset inc. cassette?

  • Thanks team

  • Challenge accepted @clipon ?

    I expect to see pics of a J with a cherry the size of a standard log fire by tomorrow morning.

  • Are you buying or selling?

  • Buyin' (mibbe)

    Cheapness of new 11 speed 105/ultegra is confusing the matter though so I don't want to offer the guy something stupid.

  • If you don't buy then let me know as I'm looking too.

  • What's Tester's 1/8" chain of choice? There are so many.

  • I just cleared my spares out a bit. So. Much. Crap. I had about a 10 set of clipless pedals. How?

    Anyway, I've got a bag of crap that is probably of use to someone, somewhere. Anywhere I can drop this stuff of, rather than trash it?
