I wish it weren't, but I'm living in the real world.

The real world of make-believe science.

Sure Max. Unlike your "real world" of religious belief and right-wing
certitude. I'm sure if you keep saying Bush is right over and over, it's
got
to be true.

Max doesn't even trust mathmatics. It's a gray area as far as he is
concerned.
Ask him about Whitworth hardware. He things it matches up exactly with
Metric
and SAE hardware. If that were so, there would be no such thing as a
separate
system named "Whitworth".


LOL. The only important aspect of Whitworth tools is the money a few
British companies made by selling them to people who were too myopic to
realize that a combination of metric and SAE tools fit every single
Whitworth fastener so closely as to obviate the need for Whitworths. If
that weren't true, I have destroyed the nuts and bolts on my Gold Star.
After 4 years of racing, I never had to replace a single fastener due to
head damage. And that included at least five complete teardowns.
How you spend you money is your business. Thankfully we had some savvy
Britbike techs around here who knew that Whitworth spanners and sockets
were
a waste of money.

You reveal yourself and your incompetence quite clearly.


Incompetence?? Would you care to see a photo of a 10x12 bedroom filled with
wall-to-wall trophies from my racing days?

Hundreds of people used to race Brit bikes when I first got into flattrack
racing. And I never met one of them who owned a set of Whitworth tools.

You reveal yourself to be a pedantic ninny quite clearly.
