Sorry to hear about your crash - hope you're all right

I lay no claims to being well known around these parts, but after just over 7 years I will be leaving my first Real Job(tm) to start another.

If anyone fancies turning up for my leaving drinks on Friday they will be most welcome - The closest not-totally-shit pub nearest to the office is the Old Tea Warehouse on Creechurch Lane. Plan is to stay there for a pint or two so that I can say farewell to people from the office who have homes to go to and then to head for food at My Old Place on Middlesex St (Chinese, huge, reasonably priced and tasty portions; card machine is guaranteed to be out of service, so cash only). After that the plans are wide open. Shooting Star a little further along Middlesex St?

Consider this an open invite.

Me yelling do a skid at someone who as he went past turned out to have very many gears.

I blame the boozes.

Oh, btw, Friday drinks in the City (Old Tea Warehouse perhaps?) followed by much munching at My Old Place followed by more beery goodness at maybe the Shooting Star?

New job starts Monday so a hazy farewell to my workplace of 7 years+ seems in order.

bbc breakfast, now

It's a JPEG file, not a rar so far as I can tell:

Either that netbook's going to be huge, or there's going to have to be a pretty major keyboard/palmrest compromise.

I'd have throught docking it to the side of the machine would've been neater, but what do I know?

and then compare it to using the tube within zone 1 in a year.

£45 is massively cheap, with the only downside is simply the availability of bicycles.

and the difficulty of finding a docking station without a mobile app or map.

I've got a 24h Shimano rim off a set of R500 wheels you can have for a tenner

Done and done sir! PM'd.

Hmm, the open pros only go as low as 28 holes if I'm reading the Internet correctly. The hubs only have 24 holes.

Then again, I just saw http://www.lfgss.com/thread35771.html which mentions a mythical 24 hole open pro, so maybe they do/did exist?

I see references to Kinlin XR-300, which would appear to fit the bill as well as the DT Swiss RR 585 (£40 to £45 at CRC)

Not sure if this is the most appropriate thread (or even forum) - this doesn't quite fall into the category of a project, more a fixing-things jobbie.

I need a new front rim for my SS conversion. The current one's pretty worn on the braking surface and after hitting a pothole today it has a nice kink in it which makes braking feel like I'm going over a cattle grid.

At the moment it's one of these:

The bike is this

Although at the moment it has a silver Mavic A319 with an SS kit on the rear, so it's already a bit of a mish-mash.

I also have the Alfine hub which is looking for a rim and spokes after someone destroyed the wheel it was in, so I thought it might be an idea to get both built up at the same time.

I'm looking for something that'll take tires around 700x23C and 700x25C, be pretty sturdy and neither expensive nor excessively heavy. Does anyone have any advice? I don't really have anything against those Shimano wheels, but I get the impression there might be better for cheaper if I look for alternatives.

It was still a bargain though, so I'm not really complaining :)

Oh, but I totally agree with the useless service.

They hadn't tightened the bolts properly on the rear wheel, so the first time I really pushed on the pedals (about 2 minutes from the shop) the nuts slipped in the dropouts and scored them - meaning that the wheel would just keep slipping along those score marks the whole time I had the bike.

I had a Subway 8 which I bought ex-display for £200. After about 13 months the frame cracked all around the bottom bracket:

So, I stripped it down and put all the bits on the bay

I think I got about £180 or so for all the parts, so it worked out as an alright deal really.

It looks like both tyres are OK, but I haven't got out of bed yet to check!

Some legal highs are quite good.. right before they are made illegal usually.

Quick - stockpile coffee!

Rode up the A10 around half 2. There were a fair few idiotic examples of driving, but I wouldn't say it was all that bad. A few people parked in the craziest of places and a few being a bit aggressive with their right foot the moment they saw a few metres of open road.

Not a particularly pleasant ride, but not as bad as park lane in rush hour, for example.

I fear this is perhaps a little OT. Anyway, it appears my ex wife may have meme potential.

Not that I have any great regrets - moved on and my girlfriend of >2 years is a most wonderful person. There are certain legal complications(*) but other than that it's all good now.

(*) Any elaboration would require beer or equivalent.

rhowe was the animal sucking what drove you apart? *overlypersonalquestion

Hmm, not sure to be honest - she said she was bored in London (implied bored with me also) and moved to Tokyo.

She's probably one of the saner people there, to be honest. The scary thing is that she is now somebody's mother!

Haha, you have no idea
