southhamster Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 Bike tyres are even worse quote from Cycling UK For example, some tyres marked 28" are actually much less than 27 inches in diameter, while 26×1.5 and 26×1½ are two completely different sizes. and Tyres of the same size may come with lots of different markings: 28×1¼×15/8, 28×1¾×1¼ or 700×32C, for example, which are all 32-622. it is all crazy - there is an ISO system - but it doesn;t get used much! You'll be pleased to know there was (still?) a special bicycle thread, "BSC (British Standard Cycle) or CEI (Cycle Engineers’ Institute) thread has no American counterpart. The thread angle also differs from other British threads running at a 60 degrees rather than a 55 degrees angle. All sizes 1⁄4 inch and larger use 26 threads per inch (tpi), making them similar to 1 mm ISO threads, which are 25.4 per inch and also run at a 60 degrees angle."

6Foot2 Posted October 12, 2023 Author Posted October 12, 2023 Top job! Spain or Italy? Don't know, but I'd guess Italy. Not sure why, just a feeling. 5Foot2 says "Looking at the quality of the work, I'd say over here!"

jthompson Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) At least it's neatly cable-tied. Or is it a Banksy? Edited October 12, 2023 by jthompson
mikeprice Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 [ATTACH=CONFIG]70161[/ATTACH] 🤷🏻 😨 When I was 17 I went to Canada and worked ona farm for a few weeks They had a car like that and a tractor I drove the tractor a few miles down the road with a wheat wagon behind it a few time AT one point I had to approach a main road and turn left onto it - had to time it so I arrived at the road when there was a gap as there was no way I could stop the thing When I got to the grain depot the farmer (who we knew) would be waiting on a small slope so I could stop and he could chuck a rock behind the wheel I was male and 17 and it seemed fine to me at the time!!!
Ditto Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 This is from BBC with pictures of the impact of storm Ciarán. Presumably that car was fine before the chain saw brigade arrived - and why is it labelled in BLC as BBC Sport?

Andrew_C Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 Tree falls across car. When sawn off the root, the root pings back towards vertical. Perhaps too early to blame the Brigade.
Ditto Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 Yes I realised that, but then it's not amusing . Indeed you can find YouTube clips where tree surgeons use the stump as a launcher, and some don't turn out too well, especially when there is water nearby. 1
