Lawd JAY-zuss! He could have at least gotten himself liquored up and gone out in a blaze of glory.

That's my plan, should I ever decide to "do it".

The aim of big corporations is to separate fools from their money all of the time and ordinary folks from their money most of the time. The rest of us must fend for ourselves.

"When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking." - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, January 18, 1896, Scientific American Magazine

I figured it out, so I did. The two small wires on the new ammeter is to do with the bulb - absent in the old ammeter.
This will be easy. All I have to do is figure the bulb wires out but the terminals I already marked.
But get this. I found an exact replica of my horn button today and it cost 27 pounds! The old one is knackered and cracked. I had to settle for a cheaper type of horn button but will need to drill a hole for it.
So, I just popped into a shop and purchased a crude hand-drill.
Every day I ride miles out to the boat. On the way back yesterday I got drawn into a race with someone from a club and he gained a good distance on me before I knew he was about. This was on the flat and I didn't even have time to flick my lights on. I was just after this guy like a greyhound after a hare.
Tonight I have to ride in the dark as I've been cycling back and forth to electrical stores today.
Last night I was up till 5.00 a.m. as I was reprogramming my P.C. and making weird and wonderful discoveries as to how you can make your own internet connection.

It doesn't really matter so much about shifting. I suppose I do place a lot of stress on my bike though as all the medium hills I do on the big crank. This is possibly what bent my derailleur.
It has never been so good as lately. It's a dream to use and no rubbing. Next time it rubs, I'm going to dismount and bend it right back again. This is all it takes. Mechanics has never been so simple.

It takes a big man to admit that he's made a mistake.
O.K. So I made a mistake.

Alloy has very low fatigue resistance. Bend it more than once and it is likely to break altogether.
Climb on your smallest ring and don't run big to big for no rubbing and easy shifting.
BTW, did you ever get round to calculating your gear ratios?

Sure, I'll do that for you. My cassette is pretty low actually which is why I always use the big ring about half-way.

Currently black gold & gas in Sarawak, but I've also done diamond coring, rab, rc etc. As long as we're perforating the shite out of the Earth's Crust, I'm happy - gruyere cheese is a personal favourite.

Alloy....i dont like to use that term when referring to bike frame tubing. Technically steel is an alloy but i spose that the term 'alloy' has replaced aluminium alloy.

still though i wouldnt say that the alu alloy that bike frames are made from have low fatigue resistance. I have broken a few frames in my time but it want due to fatugue, prolly just bad quality control and weak welding.

alloy frames are a very high tech material and can contain very little aluminium. I think Univega and Specialized started to mix sintered ceramics to the mix to give a porous light weight material that was extremely tough..
