    The second option seems to just redirect me to the top of the page.

     

    Yea I was playing around with the BBCode. I got some of the way there (beyond what you see there) but I need to sit down and read the documentation properly.

     

    How'd you do that? It's not quite what I'm getting at though, 'cause the only way I knew you posted that was from following this thread. What I mean is a notification in your panel stating that someone's tagged you in a post. Something along those lines.

     

    That's a bit more challenging but not impossible.

    Possible.

     

    You would probably need to tell the system that you're doing that. Something like [[username]] (or more likely username) though rather than just automatically detecting username and matching it to a user. I can't think of a tidy way (at the moment) to search 10k+ users against each word in a post for a match. I could probably do it with sphinx fairly quickly but it's a bit of a waste of resources.

    I would be scared to ride with clips incase my foot got stuck.

     

    Have had a couple of close encounters with the ground. It's usually not a big deal because your forward speed is more often close to zero. Scratch on the knee, bruised pride.

     

     

    I have seen one bad story about a guy using crank brothers egg beaters. These are designed a bit different to most clipless pedals (and the general consensus seems to be that they're pretty horrible anyway):

    Basically in the process of crashing something got jammed in the opposing side of this guys pedal. That meant it was impossible for it to release and the end result of the crash was that it essentially snapped his leg. When you come off at speed usually the force of the crash will release you from the pedals unless you've got the tension waaay up.

     

     

    But the benefits are huge. I don't think I could go back to riding with platforms now. I rode my brothers bike briefly with sandshoes (he uses BMX style platforms) and I hated it.

    Got about 800km out of my Conti Race King on the rear. Any substantial distance on the road really chews them up.

     

    Changed over to a Schwalbe Racing Ralph today and dropped down to a 2.10, see how that goes. It's about 140g lighter but that's more outweighed because I switched to a dual wall rim (kept snapping spoke nipples on the single wall). I don't think these are going to last much better so I might try something like the Marathon Extreme next.

  9. Side Pipe Exhaust, Ke20

    From the NCOP

     

     

    The outlet of an exhaust system must be rearwards of any passenger side entry door or opening

    window. If any part of the exhaust system, including the outlet pipe, extends beyond the profile of

    the body (other than on the underside), it must be shielded. Exhaust outlets must also meet the

    requirements of ADR 42/… where applicable. Vehicles manufactured after June 1988 must not

    have the exhaust exiting to the left of the vehicle.

     

     

    ADR 42 doesn't seem to say anything about MA group vehicles.

     

     

    I am not a lawyer, this is general information only. Seek professional advice before carrying out any modifications. Etc etc etc.

  13. What Grinds My Gears.

    This might be a weird one, but something that really grinds my gears is 'energy saving' lightbulbs, they are f***ing bulls**t. Using the halogen ones I'm replacing bulbs just about monthly, and the fluro ones arent much better, never had any problems with the old style ones. And lighting seriously has the smallest effect on powerbills anyway.

     

    Yea I'd be getting your gear checked out. I can't remember the last time I replaced a fluro.

     

     

    Guttered

     

    OK this has been bugging me for a while. Isn't the term "gutted"? As in that feeling in the gut you get when you're really disappointed about something.
