Merci CB. To be compared to anything remotely connected to baseball, well, its like a dream. Speaking of which, perhaps Ullrich would have fared better as a relief pitcher. No need to worry about those off-season Kgs.

From what I can tell Honest Marc is the TJPC go-to historian/walking almanac … the ultimate record-keeper, really. Like the official scorer in Baseball, it is matter-of-fact.

Wooly — that is exactly what I was trying to say! i just couldn’t articulate it after 3 beers and 2 hours of podcasting. I concur. Go F*** yourself. John G.

What’s your vector Victor?…

You guys were killing me about the explanation of straddle cables. It all comes down to physics and vectors. If the straddle cable is long then most of the force applied by squeezing the lever is upward and less is inward (or clamping the wheel). But as you lower (shorten) the straddle a larger amount of force is directed towards the rim. So for a given increment in pull (lever travel), a shorter straddle will result in more force in the clamping direction than a longer straddle. That’s why you feel modulation is more controlled with a longer straddle and a shorter straddle is “touchier”

No worries. You guys are still the best. I listen to that “Fred” David and his “‘cast” and “round table”. It just makes me more appreciative of what you do.

Now go F yourselves (Seems to be the replacement for ya-bone-a)
