    Intermittent ticking sound? Very strange

    That is a cool option! I'll have to ask my hearing aids supplier about that!!

    What are these?

    I'd rather put them down my wife's neck. But as she has told me before "I'm not putting that in my mouth!"

    What are these?

    "Look like" Yep, that's the problem, the other 50-60 species "looked like". I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was an identical one called "Deadly Poplar Fieldcap" :ROFLMAO: Should they be cooked or does that turn them into the deadly version? Thanks for the vote of confidence, it sure...

    I have a 12 foot sailboard with a 15 foot mast in there somewhere.

    Intermittent ticking sound? Very strange

    My hearing aids suppler wanted a sodding fortune to insure my aids, so I asked my buildings & contents insurer if they were covered. I quoted all the features of the proposed insurance and added a few of my own, like losing them during an unplanned dismount. Answer - "all covered". Well, that...

    why such low pressures in the Zeb's?

    Yep, I try to keep that last 10% for the unexpected. It must work because I have never bottomed out the suspension.

    Reliability of Shimano vs. Bosch?

    I noted that in my "library" when you first posted, thanks again. :) In the event of a motor failure, I will of course give them a go. However, I wonder if it would be worth letting them service the motor now at just over two years old and without any obvious problems. "Don't fix what isn't...

    Chain longevity

    I have contributed before on this topic elsewhere on this Forum. My conclusion is that higher quality chains pay off with longer life and therefore reduced wear everywhere else on your transmission. They also don't rust overnight if you put the bike away wet. Mechanical sympathy when shifting...

    Reliability of Shimano vs. Bosch?

    I had a e8000, zero problems over 3100 miles. Out of warranty when bike sold. I now have an EP8 at 2600 miles, zero problems. Just out of warranty. Neither motor has been modified in any way. So, for me its 100% reliability! I am in that odd place where despite having zero problems and...

    Intermittent ticking sound? Very strange

    Turn your hearing aids off. :D One month ago, I finally took the big step (for me) and got some hearing aids. I hear all sorts of stuff now that I never used to hear before. I expected to hear people talking more easily and to be able to keep up with conversation in crowded rooms. That has...

    What are these?

    I tried Google Image Search, and got 60-70 different mushroom types that all look like mine! I am better informed, but no wiser! :(...

    Stem change

    How wide are your bars? Going wider will move your body closer to the front of the bike, but will give you more steering control and you will be better able to resists the turning forces that rocks and roots exert on your front wheel. You can counter some of the negatives by fitting a shorter...

    Pic of the Day

    I would have said "Interesting". From an English guy that always sets our French and German colleagues laughing like drains. (Well, my French and German colleagues, maybe I moved in strange company).
