Tailor on Rose Street doing an emergency 30 minute job on it. Yay! Phew. Sitting having a coffee waiting for it, the day is gradually getting better. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092&page=2#post-22836 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:15:47 +0000 Min 22836@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Couldn't you just sew the tear up? Needle and thread much cheaper than troosers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092&page=2#post-22835 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 12:14:50 +0000 kaputnik 22835@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bon chance!

Just mention off hand that if they employ you they get to tick a big fat sustainability box. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22829 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 11:45:18 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 22829@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The 'shaking hands motion' reveals the tear. Damn and blast. And it's tipping it down. Can I start this day again please? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22827 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 11:41:16 +0000 ruggtomcat 22827@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Doh!

Jacket covers up the tear by about 2 inches. Do I risk it? I've not had an interview yet where the jacket came off... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22824 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 11:28:26 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 22824@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sigh.</p> <p>Possible cracked frame discovered last night, then arrive at work and find the tie I was going to wear today (you'll see why this is important in a mo) has a mark on it, then I sat down in my new troos, pocket catches on the arms and tears a hole in the side of them. On the day I have an interview at 1.</p> <p>Sigh.</p> <p>Right, off out to buy a new pair of troos AND a tie (yes, the colour of tie is important with the shirt I'm wearing, and yes it has to come from a specific place - I have matching saddle and bar tape on both my road bikes, you expected anything different?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22807 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 08:48:18 +0000 thebikechain 22807@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That would explain the noise your bike was making as you passed me last night ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22793 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:35:07 +0000 wingpig 22793@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"SORRY you selected the largest chainring and largest sprocket SIMULTANEOUSLY"</em><br /> Despite following manufacturer advice and removing a couple of links from my new chain so that a line drawn between the jockey wheels was perpindicular to the ground when on the largest at each end I'm still going to have to take a couple more (now significantly oilier and unclean) links off to stop the pulley rubbing against itself when on the third-smallest (or smaller) sprocket and smallest chainring. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22789 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 21:29:49 +0000 kaputnik 22789@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaputniq/5408030163/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5214/5408030163_e6908f8c16.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22600 Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:21:42 +0000 kaputnik 22600@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaputniq/5402034239/"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5291/5402034239_20f84e5b00.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2092#post-22190 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:58:16 +0000 LaidBack 22190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes.. that will do nicely!
