    There's probably a link between tea and cancer (isn't there for most substances) but overnight melanomas from tea is a bit OTT.

    Hmm, maybe I should go to the doc, just in case :-)

    This raises disturbing thoughts about your personal hygiene habits OzMan.

    Ha. I suspect it happened when i wandered out to the kitchen for a midnight (7am) snack. :-)

    If you ever saw what he was trying to pass off as his 'bike seat' back when, you would not be so surprised.

    Ha., I still use mutilated "home made" prostate-saving Selle Italia Turbos

    Carbon seatpost paste? Shim with a can (probably too tight for that). Ummmm, a washer or two on the seat bolt so it doesn't bottom out when u tighten it, though I'm assuming it uses a collar, not a traditional seat bolt set up. Ummmm, try a different brand seat post. Some have different diameters, even though they are supposed to be 27.2 or whatever. A branded 27.2 might actually be 27.15 and its just enough for the [censored] to slip.

    Ive heard of Steve's hairspray tip, but ud want to take the post out regularly to make sure it doesn't galvanize itself in the frame
    Thanks.
    Yep, it's odd how the sizes can vary, even though they're all meant to be the same

    Reminds me of when somebody convinced me that a rolls was the ducks guts of seats. I've never had saddle sores before or after but that thing gave me one after the other. Even worse, it was white......

  6. Yeah, we ain't all the same. Compared to the old Turbos, many other saddles feel like a torture device to me. One of the worst was a Token copy of the Specialized Body Geometry seats.
    Man! It didn't even feel like a saddle......I dunno what it felt like!!

  8. If we're sharing docos, this is a grouse one about the real Donnie Brasco, Joe Pistone.

    Firstly, swampy will be [censored]@!!!

    He's the most overrated sprinter in the peloton. Riders like him contribute pretty much nothing to a team when they aren't winning, sprinters need to win often. Whereas when and non sprinter or even stars like Chavanel, Cancellara or Gilbert are not winning we'll see them in breaks or working/racing throughout the race.

    Hmmm Goss also needed to show himself this year.

  16. Do you guys like the new post editor?

    Milne rose to the occasion. Acting as his own attorney, he admitted to one charge of an act of outraging public decency. "I'm not disputing what was done was wrong but bear in mind I thought I was being discreet," Milne said about his stroke of bad luck. Milne was faced with a stiff fine of $98, plus court costs.

    Its far less intrusive and most people will probably prefer the right click menu no longer being message with.
