Any question answered...

why do you want RAID o on SSDs? there is no real advantage only danger of fail and data loss, also spendy

Cheers!

Utterly off-topic, but does anyone have experience of NYE in Bilbao? Trying to figure out where might still be open without having to buy an expensive cotillon ticket - am figuring Plaza Nueva in the Casco Viejo is probably my best bet, but I have no real clue. Also realising that I'm going to have to eat super early if I'm going to have dinner at all...

Just get up onto a nice high hill and watch it all burn down.
Bring picnic and tempranillo obvsly.

Hah!

Where can I get a pair of vintage white plastic handle bar grips from? Plenty for sale on US eBay but I can find none over here

I have some from an old Raleigh Twenty, I think, which you can have but they're yellower than a chain-smoker's gnashers. I'll double check next year.

Has anyone used this website before: either looks like a great deal or super dodgy!

A bike site based in Indonesia, do you even need to ask.

Fair enough and bargain prices, what's to lose? Except your money

Payment via bank transfer or Western union only, looks legit to me. ???????

Can't sleep, but my 6-week-old son is flat out!

What's the name/brand of that black bar tape with multicolour splash peeking out through the holes? Kind of lairy in a classy sorta way.

The site hasn't been updated since 2012. None of the social media links work. The online help chat is offline. Lots of the site is broken: broken image links and some of the plugins like the tagcloud and some yahoo thing at the bottom.

Maybe they were a legit shop that went out of business, or they never maintain their website, but it's not somewhere I'd shop online with.

Panaracer Pasela PT 700c OR Halo Twin Rail Courier Berlin HC 700c ? and why ?

Should have specified , it's for rear only

Halo on the front, Panaracer on the rear.

Alphabetical order.

Can anyone recommend a decent TV for under £200.
32" with built in free view recorder.

Cash Converters?

Hey. Have pm'd you in case this is still relevant

My front mech cable snapped a while back. I've just fitted a new one but can't get the mech to budge.

Is my cable routing the problem? There's a big gap (well over an inch) between the BB cable guide and the hole the cable disappears up into and it seems to be snagging on the corner.

It's the bottom cable in the picture below.

This is where the cable snapped by the way, so I suspect the answer is yes.

I think the cable guide should go all the way up to the hole? Like this:

Not necessary you can simply use a sleeve to prevent the cable from rubbing against the frame, like this;

Pop into your LBS as they're likely to have some spare from shop floor bicycles.

lastly, what derailleur was it?

Hmm, thanks Ed. That's how it was done before and it lasted about 4000 miles so can't have been the worst way to do it.

I can't figure out why it's not moving now though...

What derailleur was it? did the cable move freely when you hold it with your hand and shift?

FWIW those sleeves made a MASSIVE difference to the ease of front shifting for me.

When buying powertools, why is it that a corded model will be rated in Watts but a battery version will give you only the Voltage?
