It also depends on the threads being cut parallel in the bottom bracket. Not sure how that is done on a carbon frame. Threaded inserts bonded in? In any event, if the threads are not parallel and/or have a linear offset it is a manufacturing fault, and there is no alternative but a replacement frame.

Do you have a friendly machine shop with some metrology gear so the you can get the frame measured? There must be something very screwy around the bottom bracket so it should be easy to measure it.

Similar coronary dish is a specialty of the Auvergne region of France called Truffade. Thin sliced potatoes, duck fat, and lots of Cantal (a local) cheese. Some recipes chuck in cream too. Basic ratio is 4lbs of potatoes and 2lbs of cheese of that particular variety. It is absolutely delicious. And potentially lethal ?

Two or three years ago I bought a ceramic burr grinder. And either use a French press or an Aeropress. I've also got a milk frother. And oh man does that make killer coffee. Good luck on your way to coffee nirvana Dusty! Not as expensive a fixation as audio, but distinctly addictive all the same.

Oh yes - to all three!

That was totally priceless thanks Stretch!

RIP Burt. Somehow it seems those films were so recent, Stretch.

Well it looks like you are "cured"

That is hilarious. Wondered where it was going for the first 30 seconds

Happy birthday!

That has to be somewhere in Japan?

Looking good! Any post op shit to deal with?

Happy birthday!

RIP all those dead in the horrific bridge collapse in Genoa, Italy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45183624

That sort of thing gives you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach. Suggestion - there is a Russian guy with a thread on Steve Hoffman's site who repairs cartridges with snapped off cantilevers. Yeah, I know there are opinions about Hoffman's forums, but here is the link, with lots of pics of before and after resurrection. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/stylus-retipping-service-phono-cartridge-specialist-from-russia-moscow.686418/

Welcome to the serious cat club! Well done. And sorry to hear about the other woes - that sucks.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday Todd - and what Stretch says too! Have a great day.

Happy birthday Antonio!

Is that the same autonomous cars that have emergency braking disabled?

Croatia's second goal was a bit of a giveaway alas. Marking was poor and sluggish. But hey, in the second half and extra time they just had the edge, so it was only a matter of time until their second goal. And England set pieces did not work because of astonishing goal mouth defence by Croatia. But England were damned impressive for such a young team. The final between France and Croatia will be a fine match I can hardly believe I'm posting on this.

Radiohead met at Abingdon School (what in the UK is called a Public School, and in the US a Private School). Which is three miles from where I type. Originally Cockney rhyming slang for strumpet (ie prostitute). But fortunately losing the original definition and incorporated into "nice bit of crumpet" it means a sexually desirable woman. Which I think we can all agree with. I'll shut up now...

^Oh yeah!

Yeah - the road legal bit is impressive for sure. F1 cars have more acceleration (1.5g to 200mph) but are not road legal. And Bloodhound - nah. If nothing else it would strip the paint off anything following The whole statistics thing about Bloodhound is crazy. The solid aluminium wheels have a radial acceleration of 50,000g at 1000mph. Tested at Rolls Royce at full speed, they heat up to 80C just through air friction. And effective power of the vehicle is 135,000hp. It is basically aircraft engineering, but designed to stay on the ground. And because one of the aims is to inspire, the entire CAD drawings for the machine are downloadable.
