I want to build a sturmey archer aw3 wheel but the earlier (and better) hubs seem to be 40h... is 40h just massive overkill for a small girl or will it not make much difference? Does anyone make 27" 40h cheapish rims? for that matter can anyone recommend any 27" cheapish rims? boxy and shiny please.

Thanks!

they have done that to an extent but a very hostile press and their lack of pr experience has left them looking like utter prats. A couple of big public loses on AV and tuition fees etc has distracted from how fucking bad a tory majority government could have been

such DoF much focus pull wow

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the mass interactions of driverless and driven cars is going to work:

When a driverless car spots a driven one, it has to be cautious and defer because the human is more than likely an idiot, it's going to have to give way more often, and slow down. Can a human in a sea of robots can be an arsehole with impunity because the robots will save themselves and get out of the way?

When a driverless car spots another driverless car they can communicate and decide on the most mutually beneficial set of maneuvers to both be as quick as possible, if necessary one deferring to the other but both being quicker overall than if there was a human involved. This might well work between two google cars but what happens if a google car spots a sony car? They can communicate, decide what's going on and what to do but the sony car could, for example, betray the google car and jump in front. Now sony cars are faster than google cars.

People still call each other cunts, now they just wind down the rear windows instead. I'm looking forward to seeing rival robot passengers fighting in the street while the cars park up out of the way and wait patiently for the angry flesh to calm down.

Meanwhile bicycles get "Collision Undermining Nano-Technology" and my 2018 phil hub with wifi automatically locks when the last human on the road pulls backwards out of nowhere and I bang out the perfect whip-to-sideways-stop-and-smirk while instagramming it live.

@CYOA Black Park round the back of pinewood studios is nice, free parking on the roads around it. very busy on a saturday though...

this evening's commute, blackfriars road. a guy looking at his phone steps out then looks up, sees me and steps back onto the kerb. I'm slowing down to get left and in the bike lane coming up to the traffic lights and I'm closer to the kerb than he thinks I am. Without looking he steps back out as I pass and just touches his phone against my bag, drops it and presumably smashes it. he says fuck and I turn around, he's picked it up and is debating whether to shout at me or chase me, but the look in his face says he knows it's his fault, lights change and I'm gone. don't watch your phone when you cross the road!

is a 120mm phil fixed hub axle long enough to reach 126mm dropouts with spacers, as in 3mm extra poking out past the nuts? don't really want to import the 126mm version and then not be able to use on another bike...

suspicious before that this guy was basically stealing to order, if he posts something and you've got one and your bikes locked up in hackney, go and move it.

dibs, pm'd

so jelly

just popping home to get your tools?

does anyone know what the law is for old petrol bikes with pedals? Is there a power rating or cc below which you don't need a license like a <25kw electric thing?

something like a mobylette
