  • Just for the sake of consistency, can i have an email adress from one member of each team for the champs please? cheers

  • *[QUOTE]Damn it whos posted a banned key word!? I cant view last page in college now.

    *

      I rekon it was probably Colins use of the word 'bastarddickfacearseholes'[/QUOTE]
    

    waves fixed, see it now?

  • Doubt it seeing as your last post contains the word quoted...!!!

    waves fixed, see it now?

  • And there a big FUCK OFF! in the tags....

  • well, that's done it ... we might aswell give up on polite communication now - it was always going to end up this way.

    Peace out pricklegs'

    ;)

    consistency

  • Theres roadworks with loads of yellow piping at the Withington crossroads, they were happy to give me 5ft

  • oh, i forgot.... i saw i big bit of yellow correx, attached to a lamp post on Shudehill... it had an NCP logo and a big arrow on it... please someone make an NCP disc... in fact i might go see if it's there still...

  • We got a bit geeky on another forum, anyone got a lathe? - I imagine it's a bit juddery, but perfect polo brake?

  • that's amazing. it's slightly sad how happy that just made me. but why d'you need a lathe?

  • you'd loose some brake power though cause of the calliper movement?

  • to make one ... they got caught up in litigation and were never produced.

    oh yeah, and token swearing. plebbtits

  • i'd kinda guessed it was to make one, but still, why a lathe?

  • n surely you could just have the feedback system going from where the current barrel adjuster is so that the calliper didn't have to move?

  • sorry, i seem to be posting in overexcited circles. i'll go hang my head in shame somewhere.

    project?

    a lathe? you can make anything on a lathe. well, I can't. but people who know how to use them can

  • oh, i forgot.... I saw i big bit of yellow correx, attached to a lamp post on shudehill... It had an ncp logo and a big arrow on it... Please someone make an ncp disc... In fact i might go see if it's there still...

    :o want!

  • cause they're not as clever and don't involve an excuse to play with welding stuff?

  • why not just a dual brake lever? as in [http://www.bikecare.co.uk/product_info.php?acc=Brake%20Levers&id=89]

    what is needed, rather is an added negative feedback stage to limit braking force in dry conditions to less than the amount that would result in the rider'd being brojected over the handlebars. A braking system incorporating such a combination of positive and negative feedback (fig. 7.1) was developed by calderazzo (hopgood 1979). Only the rear-wheel brake is
    activated by the rider. The rear brake is mounted on a lever pivoted near the wheel axis so that it is carried forward during braking. In moving forward, it actuates (through a cable or hydraulic line) the front brake, with any reasonable desired degree of force multiplication. Accordingly, little effort need be required for strong braking to be obtained. At the point at which the rear wheel would start skidding, braking at the front is automatically limited. In hundreds of tests with this system in which testers made "panic stops" from high speeds on different surfaces, never did a rider begin to go over the handlebars. (the front forks of the test bicycle eventually failed through fatigue: testimony to braking effectiveness and to the inadequacy of the design of the fork). This promising system apparently died in Patent litigation. As mentioned earlier, it could well be used to actuate other types of brake (e.g a coaster brake) in the front wheel.

  • anti-lock brakes (acting on both wheels) from one lever.

  • dual brake levers don't work as well as a problem solvers cable doubler

  • simon, or ben, when/if your coming to polo could you take the lights off my fuji and bring them with you, forgot them this morning, and also time cat is on the kitchen table bring him as well

  • polo at 8 tonight at car park
