re: medicine

in the states and canada they have restrictions on the maximum age they will allow you to enter med school.

godspeed.

my tubs have always gone soft rather quickly.

and as far as glue...its an asshole. if you can "soak it" somehow with a qtip or something it may help. also a wooden tongue depressor....i think thats what its called, the shit the doctor sticks in your mouth and makes you say Ahhhh, is great for scraping a rim without having to worry about marring it up.

should be fine. just keep it off the black part just in case.

he really had to rub it a lot to get the change...when mounting his tire it rubbed ont he side and left a huge smear on the rim...it was ugly and totally a fluke.

I have used acetone before with no ill effects.

be cautious though because some rims have a varnish/clear coat/protective layer on them that will rub off with the acetone. One of my team mates tried to use acetone to rub some glue off the sidewall of his rim and rubbed this off which left him with a shiny spot on an otherwise matte rim. the opposite could happen as well.

where is the best place to get a decent unlocked phone on the internet that will work in the UK with a SIM card?

trying to get one before I get there. not terribly picky, I just need something durable. and small is good.

wait.

what does "rinsed the panel" mean?

if there is anything I can do from abroad I would be glad to help.

I have experience setting up budgets and bookkeeping stuff for non-profits. Although they are in canada so it may not be helpful.

I have also help set up a budget and cash system for multiple local co-ops (again, in canada)

do most people just have cellphones in london?

I don't get how/why you have to pay to call people from a house phone/landline if you're paying to have the phone line.

the oddest shit gets you when moving overseas...

even for a day racing license?

so confusing. I guess it doesn't really matter anyway, I will likely only be able to get to the last two races in the autumn series, if that, for this year.

how many events at herne hill are UCI?

fantastic. my UCI license in canada works in the UK correct?

arm pit tattoos are seriously no fun.
just finished off a piece today got into the arm pit and around the nipples. guh.

does herne hill have bikes that people can use on just a day trip. Likely won't be able to commit to a whole season and can't bring a track bike from canada. can only afford to bring one, and it's a geared one.

edit: I am tiny and need around a 50 top tube (my bike here is on 650's)...if that matters

I read that anything more than 2 cure and then a final 3rd doesn't actually increase the ability to stick. it plateaus after that.

also...for road riding you don't need nearly as much glue as for cross. with the recent rise in popularity of cross a lot of the tubular tire glueing suggestions have been geared towards that (i.e. tape and glue)

continental makes a carbon specific glue. it is basically made to withstand a bit higher heat.

and to be honest, the heat issue is only relevant if you are flying down the alps holding your brakes the entire time all the way. for everyday riding and regular races you will be fine.

as far as tape and glue goes, it's really only useful if you are running low pressure. mostly relevant in cross racing. it's fairly difficult to roll a road tubular if you glue it properly when running it at high pressure, even on a course that has a lot of leaning/hard turning.

trying to take off a glued and taped tubular usually ends up destroying the tire....so its effectiveness is unparalleled.

I also personally avoid tape (except on the track), I have heard too many mixed results to trust it on the street. On the track there aren't too many occasions that I have to worry about rolling a tubular and you're also running tires at a super high PSI so that just helps you that much more.

also to note is that some companies don't recommend tape on carbon rims...even voiding the warranty. something about when you pull the tape off it can delaminate the rim slowly, unlike with glue where you scrub it off.

now to figure out what the hell to do with it...

awesome! thanks. it let me join.

I would still like one too!

they are phasing people in. basically once they get caught up with the demand they will open it back up again.

oh oh. can I have an invite too.

i have no idea who those people are. but it is good.

and thus life in the city continues on. they will stay on your street and then in 2 and a half months they will be on my street (when I have a street)
