Don't forget the Classic Bike Show this Saturday down at the track from 11am! We hope you can make it down to look at the bike porn, watch some racing and buy some bit's n' bobs at the stalls. If anyone knows how to bake a cake or biscuit, the Ganesha Chai Tent would love to have an offering to prov...

Karzie

Sounds like a long shot Stewart. It used to be that the most common cause for this was the race being damaged (by the drifter), but these days it's all enclosed. Maybe the cylinder is slightly deformed (ie not perfectly circular)....

Karzie

No doubt you've had lots of comments Stewart. I would also suggest this is unusual. Here's what one supplier says: DESCRIPTION Pinarello is one of those manufacturers that use a proprietary integrated headset design in their high-end bike frames. We've never had any issues with them. In fact, we hav...

Karzie

OK, I'll take them for that price. They're new, aren't they?

I've posted some of the photos here . If you want any hi-res, PM me. http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx52/icarswell/2015%20February%20Track%20Meet/DSC08262_small.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx52/icarswell/2015%20February%20Track%20Meet/DSC08183_small.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/alb...

You wanted love music James. Birds 'n' the bees...
anyway, does anyone know which song that is? It always seems to play when I'm up the other end of the track taking photos.

I know someone. But it might cost some more beer.

Karzie

have you got an 8mm projector?

Karzie

Hi Marc,

I've done some transfers before.

Very cheap. Couple of beers.

Karzie

Remember that the velodrome is right next to Tempe station. Anywhere near that line is pretty good I reckon.

Karzie

This system reacts to your cadence, heart rate and power meter and using an algorithm which calculates the best gear the rider needs for a specific situation, keeping the rider in optimal gear at all times.

Hmmmm.... an analogy to the wife in the back seat may be misinterpreted.

Karzie

Hi Jo. Not specifically. If they're found guilty it automatically leaves them open to a civil action. Proving negligence is a black art, however. T In this particular case my concerns are on any number of issues. At no stage was any type of expert witness called by either the defendant or the plaint...

Karzie

I understand that Eleri. The issue of 'negligence' in a tort is what I take issue with. The fact that they've 'worked it out' between themselves is neither here nor there.

Karzie

No Swans. Just get a Collingwood one.

You should get an Essendon one. The colors are perfect and they know how to win.

Karzie

Thanks Dougie. Wasting my time with Austlii and Lawlink!

Pretty much confirms all I heard. Nice he got a payout in the end, but I was left shaking my head.

Karzie

I'm interested that nowhere in discussion of this topic has anyone talked about the actual practical effect of this decision. Basically, if you ride with a lapped wheel and the lead rider knocks you over with his rear wheel avoiding an object on the road (that he must have expected to be there), the...

Karzie

Sweet Matt. Wiggins so sexy speaking Japanese (not to mention those schoolgirl skirts..) and the steel clunker that turns into a carbon Pinarello. Great pre-coffee fantasy stuff for another hard day behind the desk.

Karzie

There's so much questionable with this case from start to finish. Good that the injured rider got a payout tho, I guess.

Karzie

Ian - Lizanne is with St George now - where have you been ??!!??

Out of touch by the look of things, Amy. I guess you gotta do what's best for your career.... or is it the blue skin suit?....it does look good on her.

Karzie

Thanks for that report Mike. Well done. Sorry I couldn't make it at the last minute. The cup is always a great event.
Did I see photos of Lizanne Wilmot racing for ........ St George???......

Karzie

Sign me up James. It would have to be after the 10th however. After the wife's birthday

Great narrative, I enjoyed it immensely.

Karzie

Simon Sharwood crossing Liberty Street in disguise as hipster

Karzie

I can't decide which child to sell...

Karzie

That's a big day.
You gotta make the ferry on time or you have to kick your heels for an hour or so.
Have fun!

Karzie

Spotted Christian Lees on the Antikythera dig/dive

Hint: Look for those sideburns! See also The Antikythera Mechanism if you want to know what all the fuss is about.

Karzie

Some more of the photos from The Black Stump Tour

Karzie

Great weekend. Thanks to everyone, especially Lindsay, Peter and Michelle!

Karzie

Nice one Anthony. That Fly6 is surprisingly good. With that view you can't tell how much work one is doing on the front, too.

Might have to get one! Thanx for that.

Karzie

Hi Julio,
I use Schwalbe Marathon 25s if there's a bit of off-road. They're the best I've used.

Karzie

You're so right PJCampbell! It was just like that for me with the silk.... dressing gown.

Karzie

I get them waxing as well. Maybe worse.

Karzie

Then there's the ingrown hairs...

Karzie

Philip, Thanks amigo. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your shots. Yes, you can download from photobucket. I've reduced all these to 74 dpi as this is the highest resolution that computer monitors can display. They're still fairly large though. 1-3MB. Just click on the photo you want, then ...

Karzie

Yes, what an excellent day everybody! Great turnout, and what a great venue. Ok! shut up Karzie and show us the pictures. You can see them all at Photobucket TIP: The 'slideshow' feature is very good.... Sorry there's not many C & D grade. I was doing other stuff (with mixed success). http://i74...

Karzie

The organisers are keen to get hold of some Penny Farthings for display and hopefully for the historic ride on the 12th Oct. Anyone know how to get in touch with Stretch and Gokulan?
marc

Marc, they're on facebook. PM me.

Karzie

Both items went to people via PM very quickly. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

Free to good homes. Minoura Magneto Trainer . One of Minoura's first too.

Sweet! You know me so well!

Red with yellow flames. I want that one!

Karzie

Well it looks like the other team should buy themselves helmets http://www.boardmag.com/images/stories/longboard/aerohelmets08/021.jpg Looks great. Only the sound of your own belaboured and strident breathing for 30 hard kilometres to accompany your thoughts. Have you ever sneezed in one of these h...

Karzie

I think we can claim to have won the wooden spoon for quite a number of years now. Those of us habituated to disappointment band together to save others from total ignominy.

Karzie

Linda says she's happy to do an hour in the canteen. She's going to have a spell on the sound system as well to give me a break.

Karzie

It's a good point Philip. I have similar issues, esp with time. The other thing is that the club itself doesn't have the photos. It's great to discover forgotten resources like the photo album that John and Marc recovered from an old member, but things like that don't exist any more as it's all digi...

Karzie

I get enough of this on facebook

Karzie

"A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle"

Actually this is a steal from "A woman with a bicycle is like a man gone fishin".

Karzie

Sorry, I'd love to attend this, but have a prior committment. Damn.

Karzie

It's not bloat, it's unexpressed desire bubbling up....

Karzie

you didn't have enough

and Pork Knuckle is good for your knees and is an aphrodisiac.

Karzie

I'm intending on going, and probably taking/torturing Taku on the Challenge. He doesn't know that yet. Checked with Dylan at Ride and Seek about the appropriateness of the 33km cruise for kids, and he suggested an alternative 20km out 'n' back from Kangaroo Valley – so likely the whole family will ...

Karzie

In my mind, that infernal contraption is yours, Greg. Whatever you think is best done with it is fine by me. As a fellow shareholder, you can have my proxy vote.

Karzie

Hi Marc,

I've got the ticket. You'll need roof racks to pick it up tho'.

Karzie

Love the shorts. Might have to get a pair made up.

Karzie

It's actually on a bus route and some of those buses come around the corner at serious speed. I've had a few scares. I don't commute on the cycleway any more because it's too dangerous. It's not a cycleway at all, it's an off-leash dog walking path. People drive there to walk their dog.

Karzie

I don't know that we'd be doing our fellow citizens a favour by encouraging them onto a recumbent.

I vote that we sell it and buy something useful, like a proper derny.

Maybe we could put an engine in it....

Karzie

There's a pub at the end of the road.

Karzie

Hurrah! Keep at it!

Karzie

Some photos of the day can be found here

Karzie

You can get them from Dick Smith's for $15

Karzie

Is there any sizing guide, pricing, and sample?
The links don't seems to work

Have a look here

Karzie

Karzie

What odds are you giving us?

Karzie

it says I am "20". I have just dropped that grain of salt on to my chips and gravy.......

You've calculated it using inches instead of centimetres Dougie - better put those chips back!

Karzie

I want a hub dynamo like Adrian E's. Christmas is coming up!

Karzie

That was Steve Radmanovic and I. I don't usually read this page much as so few people live or work out this way. Steve and I ride to Concord Hospital and back most days. We used to meet up with Lindsay on his way to Parammatta, but gave up on the cycle path as too dangerous. The backstreets are much...

My new bike computer. The guy swore it's software is Garmin compatible!

It was a lungful of air freshener which gave me asthma at the age of 41

Karzie

PHAT back wheel...!

Yo, that sled's bangin'

Karzie

It's the PM2.5 that you've really got to be careful of. Very small and hard for the body to get rid of without absorbing. This is what makes diesel particulates cancerous.

Karzie

Yeah, I skipped the ride home yesterday. Doesn't look so bad at the moment tho'. Depends where you are/going to.

Karzie

IF you take the train, better to go on the inner west line, as you have to change to the north shore line at central and it's on the same platform. You just have to get off and then get on the other train that's usually waiting.

Karzie

i still have a few additional patches to had out. send me a message and i'll find a time to get them to you.

Lizanne

Hi Lizanne,

yes, I have a four of each to get yet. I'll try and get to the track on Wed if you're going to be there.

Karzie

Damn, can't do this one either. In Pt Macquarie. It seems like the only time I ever leave the city is when there's a vintage ride on!

Karzie

It's a good day, but if you don't get away early at the start it gets very chaotic what with all the seven year olds and viewing of the panoramas. I'd go if we went earlyish in a slow but disciplined group just to make a good and very red point.

Karzie

Velocity rules

Karzie

I'm a little allergic to factory wheels as they sometimes use very specific spokes that can be expensive if you snap one.

If you can actually buy them. I have two that I have to modify the spokes from other wheelsets because they don't make them anymore. They're like six years old!

Karzie

Some more photos from the night. Great result. The Pursuit was a delight to watch!

Karzie

With wet tarmac and plastic cleats there might be some "outrigger" advantage if your groin was strong enough, but it would only save you from a minor miscalculation in my opinion, and leave you open to 'high siding' (not good). It would also have the effect of actually raising your centre ...

Karzie

Nothing Al likes more than a laugh at someone else's expense! - In the nicest sort of way of course :)

Karzie

Hahahaha... good luck Eleri! Tell them about the elephant....

Karzie

Some photos from the day. Quality a bit poor in some due to an unnoticed ISO glitch for a bit, but I've Lightroomed them within an inch of their life! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dnINtqlEfgo/Uet8M3E23CI/AAAAAAAAA_o/JTkWjSbWW5U/w598-h896-no/DSC01187.JPG https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7-4uA...

Karzie

Hmmm.... I think the chlorine's more our budget. Perhaps one day when we are a great nation like Armenia....

Karzie

Vigorelli Velodrome in Milan.
Maybe they would sell it to us!
Then again, maybe all the shade would just put slime on all the track, not just the north end....

Karzie

Yes, thanks for all the vicarious thrills Bill. It's helped us all thru a difficult wet week. Those big country races are tough! I'm disconcerted that blokes "have a leak" at the start line, in the middle of the bunch. Hahaha... I suspect that most of the bunch was also disconcerted by the...

In that race and the one above, there should of been separating barriers Of course. Only sensible. But what was the car doing on the course? It seems to have hit the cyclist. Who hit the marshall? I thought the peleton did a great job veering onto the other side of the road into the oncoming cyclis...

Karzie

Yeah, it's obviously a loop, and so they've got one guy standing in the middle of the road to make sure that there's no collisions? Hahahahahahahaha...

Karzie

Nice one Jonboy.

Karzie

I'm jealous, jealous.

And STILL working on my new side gate. Should've just paid the $5,000 quote and gone riding!

Karzie

Unfortunately I can't make it this weekend. I would have loved to do the Saturday ride as there's some epic vistas to be had there. Have a good ride everyone!

Karzie

I'm afraid I'm out. Damn. Have a good ride everyone.

Karzie

Unfortunately, I have to pull out due to a foot operation I'm (unexpectedly) having tomorrow.

Bummer Rajiv. Back to the C25s!

Karzie

Marc,

You're going to order two DHBC jerseys and no Valley Wheelers jersey?

Karzie

Also Lizanne, should we include the payment for the patches?

Karzie

Sorry, I interpolated your roadbike size with the TT in my internal narrative. I must also confess an acquired cynicism of crank length debates. Guilty on all charges, yer honour.

Karzie

That's a lot of expense and hassle for 2.5mm

Karzie

Congratulations Eleri. I'm sure you'll make your mark!

On another note, Jo the Builder, I think the post should be titled 'appointed' rather than 'elected'.

Karzie

Well deserved.

Karzie

I'm in, barring unexpected social preclusions...
