Any question answered...

okay, but how can we be sure there is nothing at Lagrangian point L3 ?

Many probes have used the gravitational field of the sun to slingshot to their destination or from it back to earth's orbit. So no not really, and as fascinating (#uttergeekdrudgery) as lagrangian points and or mechainics are, it's not an issue

okay, but how can we be sure there is nothing at Lagrangian point L3 ?

Because everything else would be different. You can can see the effect of something if you dont have a line of sight towards it. Sort of like asking how an we know the earth's core is made of iron; no-ones seen it.

Make one out of greaseproof paper!

Mght well give it a go... My only concern is the nossle shape but I could just spread the icing with a knife I guess.

Ta :)

Apparently L3 is unstable and is incapable of holding anything. And missions to Mars would be able to see anything lurking there, assuming they were equipped with appropriate optical apparatus.

Does anyone know if anyone makes black oversized risers, where the oversized section is very small? i.e. just big enough to clamp the stem on to.
Kind of like Nitto B123AA SSB's

I would be a design flaw in risers since that's the vital part of stress, so it looks like.

...thus the lack of offer.

Talkin' about small clamp sections, are Cinelli priest bars really the only porteur/northroad-style bars where the sweep starts immediately after the clamp?

Are brahma bars still about these days? Like wide bullhorns for mtb. Maybe under a different name?

How come everyone selling a frame seems to rest it on concrete to take pics? Wouldn't that potentially damage the paintwork?

it might depend on whether you place it gently or slam it down onto the concrete

What era would you go to first if you had a time machine?

I'd want to go back quite a way. Maybe to when this thread was started.

The year I was born. I'd give myself all the info and knowlege I need --- like back to th future but better and no fuck it up

Then I'd go forward 2000 years to see what's going on. No further than that because it could be too weird to fit in with the locals. Possibly fit in killing hitler if I still had a go on it.

I'd go back and edit your spelling.

Have you been timetravelling already, is Hitler coming back to life in 2000 years time?

I'd go back and marry Hitler. All he needed was a bit of love and understanding.

iPhone smugness > spelling. Spellig is soe toofasan an ellevan

Hitler? Lest we forget...they forgot

Can I put my 8 speed chorus wheel into my Athena 11 speed equip bike so I can use my turbo trainer without changing to trainer tyre/buying a wheel with a extortionate 11 speed casette and trashing my 11 speed group?

Seems unlikely. I think the 8-speed sprockets are thicker than the internal width on 11-speed chain. No harm in trying it though, just in case.

Worst time travel plan ever in the history of time travel planing.

I'd go back to Friday night and drink 15 fewer beers.
