Thanks all for a great day - agree it was a pity it wasn't a bit more music focussed. Why was the boss trying to get it turned down the whole time? Was it a licencing isuue???

Not really talking about the IT stuff...........

What if the forum takes more than 6k a year?

Does Vb have to keep records of who paid?

Does VB have to be transparent about how he spends the money?

I just think it will open a can of worms...........

I don't see a problem - if VB makes a few bob out of it for himself he deserves it!

do what you need to do vb, i don't like the fact we're all getting a free ride at your expense... I'm happy to pay a subscription...

small price to pay!

You shouldn't have to be subsidising this…

make it a £10 and still i wouldn't mind. £3 is nothing.

The cycle lane on the North side of Blackfriars Bridge, the one that takes you 30 feet round a corner, is a fucking disaster at the moment. At the far end of it are roadworks that throw those who don't know about them back into traffic abruptly, and this morning a mad vagrant with a dog on a string. Unfortunately, it is one of those cycle lanes that do provide a degree of comfort as it normally keeps you out of the flow until the road widens again (the road is narrow because of the cycle lane, of course), so the fact that the roadworks have been allowed to drag on there is the more galling.

+1....but even when the roadworks aren't there, watch out for drivers turning left across you just as the cyclepath ends!

chatters and steves those photos are gnarly, what did you use to take them?

I use a canon eos5d (mk1...REALLY want a mk2!) with 70-200 L lens @200mm/F2.8 ... I'm not a pro...just get to go to some cool places with the day job!

Canada last year...

Sheldon has a link on his site to one about cool lacing patterns. For hybrid crows foot you need radial length spokes and 2x. Normal crows foot radial and either 2x or 3x depending on build

cool thx...

Now, here's where I'm confused, although I've not actually ridden up Vanbrugh Hill and perhaps I should add it to my list of things to do before I die, because I regularly ride up the hill in Greenwich Park and to me it's a walk in the park - actually it's a ride up a hill in the park, but I digress - so how is it that when both hills basically run from the same fairly level road at the bottom to as near as damn it the same level at the top that Vanburgh Hill looks to be twice as high as the hill in the park, huh?

It just kicks up sharply just before the old nurses home on the right as far as about ulundu road then flattens off - short and sharp.....

32h Hybrid Crows Foot FTW.

Looks good, has great torque strength, and radial strength.

Only downfall might be that it's so stiff it's not too comfy when slamming in and out of potholes... but then, if you like the highly responsive kind of wheel it's perfect.

I quite fancy trying different lacing patterns...how do you find spoke lengths for something like that - the length calcs i've seen just do 2x / 3x etc??

Ouch! Heal quick Cliveo...

I'm having similar problems with monmouth's espresso blend - can't get anywhere near as good a shot as with my usual Angerian Coffee Co's Formula Rossa - it seems to need a coarser grind for the same tamp, but I cant seem to get the consistancy...think I'll be back to Formula Rossa next time!

sennheiser hd25 for work - location recording
shure se530s for music - pita is that i ended up re-ripping all my cds to uncompressed (flac) cos they showed up compression artifacts more than any cans ive ever used!

11.30 this morning Southwark street. Nice genleman smiled at me as we were waiting for the light. He was riding a deep wine red condor. He also had an Elhid spoke card.

I think that's my first proper spot in ages...and definitely the first time I've been described as a gentleman on here! Good to see you....

Disclaimer!! - no need... you were absolutely right. I bailed out with loose chain, bruised ego and tired legs - Poor Steves... he missed out on the bagels - so I owe him big style xx
