  1. Yeah, cos that'll make an interesting watch for us... Maybe everyone else should just take a year off so Vettel can be assured pole, fastest lap, race win etc. every time. I'd watch that for sure.
  2. I don't think it's possible to helicoil it purely because the thread size is so strange (specific to bikes). You can get types of BB's that don't rely on the frame being tapped but not 100% sure of who makes them or what's available.
  3. Cool. I've found a couple of fairly good install guides now so will give it a go tomorrow. What about bar angle? Personal preference?
  4. Hypothetically speaking, if I were to have a road bike (hypothetically), which needed the bar wrap stuff applied to drop bars... would anyone have any good guides as to how you do it if you've never done it before. Also, again hypothetically of course, what angle should drop bars be at relative to the the ground or whatnot?
  5. I still don't think it's 20 degrees though... Using Office Picture Manager (oh yeah, proper pro shit goin' on here y'all) I make it more like 25 give or take. Comes out well over 20.
  6. Aston Martin One-77. Only £1.2 million I think.
  7. I may be being retarded here but how come? The 'bore' looks pretty symmetric in that pic.
  8. That really does look like a turd to me! Each to their own...
  9. Taffy is a true legend... and also has way too much money!
  10. And And maybe one of these for shits and giggles.

    Peer backslapping theory? Proven. (Jokes, jokes )
  12. I'm just asking because the deltas up to 120 are 20 and then you jump to 60, 60, 80 which seemed a bit odd.
  13. Is that table in the first post definitely correct for what you need?
  14. It doesn't work though, well, not as a quadratic anyway...
  15. Possibly but there's no guarantee it'll be compatible plus the Trialtech Sport axle costs £20 so we're back to just buying a new (or second hand) hub.
  16. I'm with you right up until you mention BPM, bars etc... If it were just maths I'd be all over it but I have no clue whatsoever about bars and musicy shiznitz.
  17. This, but also the axle of course.
  18. Can't tell if you're serious or not... Kinda weird that that actually exists. I'm on a bunch of motorbike forums (mainly Kawasaki and ER6 ones) plus supermotojunkie. Oh also a Rover owners forum .
  19. It could be done but unless you have a lathe in your garage, the skills to use it, plus a bunch of time it simply isn't worth it.

    On that point, in my mind, something like the Olympic identity shouldn't require any knowledge of design or any understanding. There are millions of brands out there that create a positive impact immediately and these I feel absolutely no loathing for whatsoever. I completely respect that in most instances a lot of thought goes into an identity to make a successful visual impact and create a 'brand'. For the case of the Olympic logo (leaving aside the 'identity') it seems to me like these people at Wolff Olins were taking the piss. I can't believe that not one person in that studio/board room didn't say "but... it's a bit, well, shit isn't it?". The logo just doesn't seem to do anything it should and from the public reaction, back in 2007 or whatever, it would appear that the majority of the public feel the same. Again, I thought a brand/logo ought to create an opinion and gets it's point across in a glance and at a glance, or after looking at it many times, that logo is still rubbish in my opinion. And regarding the plonking, you can't deny that on that Wolff Olins page they don't do anything other than show the same logo (in different colours) carefully placed on things. Having looked at the links you shared there I can see there is more to it, but that doesn't come across in that initial link. I'll admit that I don't have the most positive perspective on 'design' in this context which I find (rightly or wrongly) too closely linked to 'modern art'. From the outside there seems to be too much bullshit involved and unjustified peer backslapping etc. I apologise if that's an ignorant and unfair generalisation but I can only tell it likes I sees it.
