Thus it is the headset that is at fault.

And according to you - my rubbing brake; "didn't work".

That is corect. A RUBBING brake is not working correctly.

Btw, did you EVER get your V-brakes to work CORRECTLY?

I'm wondering too. And if so, how long did that take?

It was working - just not perfectly, therefore it had a lower priority
than
if it was not working.

If John.B was half as good at fixing bicycles as he is at twisting

Actually, I am pretty good at fixing bicycles. Well, better than you,
apparently, as my brakes work :-(

Notice that he's still not said he got his brakes working properly?
A rubbing brake pad and a disconnected broken rear brake are NOT
properly working brakes. LOL

It don make no nevermind. He's a wonderful person and the rest of us
are "****wits".


We once had a wall of newspaper clippings including many pithy quotations.
Among my favorites from the chairman of the DuPage (IL) Water Board
(Chicago Tribune, late 1990s):

"We've been called insensitive so many times we are no longer sensitive
about it."

And then there's people like John.B who's insults become meaningless.

Oh, you have fixed your brakes and stopped calling people "****wits"?

You're the "****wit" Ian. You're the one that came here asking for advice on how to fix malfunctioning brakes, couldn't or wouldn't use that good advice and then started calling others names.

I think that in future you should go elsewhere for advice as I don't thing any here will be giving you any. oh, other than to seek counseling for anger management and mental health.

PLONK!

In 1980 the world consumption of crude oil was about 50 million

But we burn it 10-100x more cleanly. And that's the point.


In 1970 world CO2 emissions was ~4,000 million tonnes, in 1990 in
excess of 6,000. Per capita, the figure is from slightly under 1 ton
per capita to slightly over 1.


It's not about CO2. It is about CO, HC, soot and all that other nasty
stuff. That's what good 4-stroke engines comobined with catalytic
converters fixed.

You live right next to (hopefully not in) areas where it should be very
obvious:

http://first2board.com/verygoodpoint...-bangkok-smog/

OH MY GOD! How horrible!

Now read:
http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2015/11/2...-global-cities

http://www.numbeo.com/pollution/rankings.jsp

http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/spor...ing-bad-air-un

You see, your posting, taken from a Blog and not from any reputable
reference and is not representative at all. Very carefully selected
photos and at least two on the page that you link to were taken in the
evening when the sun is going down which enhance the darkness of the
scene and make it appear much darker than had it been taken in full
daylight.


And the "source" behind your coconut story is ... a hotel organization?

Do your trust your Pollution Control Department?

http://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/...-air-pollution

This is mainly about one of the pollution substances and five years old,
but has some miracle happened in te last five years? Like banning of all
old cars and motorcycles?

Other sources seem to coroborate that.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3094431/

But ... I don't have to live there. My wife grew up in a big city and
even she won't return there. Ever.

So? Your reference says that Bangkokians realize that their air isn't
the best.


Yeah, because you wanted us to believe
"bangkok-least-polluted-among-worlds-global-cities" which is, from
pretty much anyone I met who lived there, a joke.

When I make a statement I can usually back that up with more scientific
data, as I did here.


What it doesn't say is that Thailand and the City of Bangkok are
making an effort to decrease air pollution. For example, older
automobiles now require an annual inspection, one facet of which
includes an emissions check (just like California) and the City is
doing their best to replace diesel buses with either CNG, LPG or
electric buses.

The article also mentions air contamination from Myanmar and
Indonesia, over which Thailand has no control what so ever.

And, the article also states that "because of the lack of empirical
data on health, social, and environmental impacts from developmental
policies and projects". Or "well we don't know what is going on but it
must be bad".


Car inspections are a good start but first you guys must get rid of
these polluters and that might be politically dicey:

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/new/...377-01_big.jpg

If you don't lose the vast majority of two-stroke motorcycles nothing
else will matter much. At least there is now awareness of this problem
which is also a good start but a long way to go:

https://www.esmap.org/sites/esmap.or... _Bangkok.pdf

Quote "One of the major contributors to PM10 emissions in Bangkok and
many other Asian cities is the use of two-stroke motorcycles".

Actually, according to the World Health Organization, Bangkok ranks
590, on a scale of "1" is the worst and "1215" is the least, out of
1600 cities in 91 countries, with PM2.5 of 20 and PM10 of 38. In
comparison, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, ranks 586 with PM2.5 =
21 and PM10 = 34. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA ranked 605 with
20 and 33.

So, despite all your arguments the WHO ranks Bangkok far better then
you do :-)


I suggest you consult the real database for that which paints a
different pictu

http://www.who.int/entity/phe/health...016_v3web.xlsx

Even Riverside is way cleaner than Bangkok and the San Bernardino area
is not exactly the poster child in the US.

No you don't see - my brakes were never not working, they just weren't
perfect.

Only one person on this allegedly "tech" group got even vaguely near the
right general direction - and they suggested I'd made a really stupid basic
mistake that would have been blindingly obvious. (except perhaps to them).
