Onboard, presumably by analogy with outboard and inboard.

English these days seems to evolve by survival of the shittest.

Mr Boeing (originally Böing) was also a massive racist, even more blatant than Ford.  It seems to go with mass production of transport.

Be environmentally friendly this summer. Skinny-dip.

Skinny dipping is alright for models, athletes and instagram slebs. What you do, Wow, is technically stout dipping.

The Knowledge / Handlebar stem with QR for storage

« Last post by CAMRAMan on Today at 12:13:19 pm »

I've no idea if such a thing exists, but I was wondering if anyone sells a stem that can quickly be turned round so the bars don't take up as much width? Space in my shed is at a premium, so this would be helpful.

So I was thinking about replacing this 10mm quadrant with 15mm quadrant to hide the gap a bit once I've done the filling. But that's not going to work when I get to the horizontal bit here which isn't deep enough to take 15mm quadrant.

Any fantastic ideas? (Besides knock the house down and start again)

Cut 3mm off one of the flats of the horizontal quadrant. Put that cut down flat against the wall. Trim the length of the diagonal quadrant at an angle so that end section fits the section of the horizontal quadrant.
