They stretch, which means they gain energy, as does the rim which
compresses. This is a temporary store.

Precisely. Correctly constructed there is little damping due to heat
disipation.

Yes you can make comparisons between a pnuematic tyre and a spoke/rim
assembly. I dont follow what you say about spreading the shock over
time. That has to do with the way the bump is traversed by the long
tyre contact patch. It is not a direct function of the spokes,
neither the spokes or the rim contain any damping material.

No, the energy is returned when the spokes contract as the load is
relieved and the 'flattened' lower section of rim recovers to a
tighter bend.

Looks the the self-appointed tossers will be left on their own soon in
the new group :-)

Using urc if you don't like the urcm moderation policy seems a reasonable
thing. Trying to use urcm and using urc only if the post is rejected does
seem like trying to have your cake and eat it though.

So what happened to his posting which I replied to?

Then I suggest that you do likewise and post your comments on urcm. Or isn't
that allowed

No it isn't allowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although it seems to me that is it is about talking about cycling in all its
aspects.

Just goes to show that the moderators dump as well!

But of course I can take raise the whole matter on unnm --- where it will
be totally out of context and nobody on urcm will see it!

The dirt brushed under the carpet, by urcm, seems to getting to the stage
where the door will be unable to open any more!

Is that the one you mean?

Looks to be there to me.

And I suggest you get a fucking clue. I was replying to a post made in urc.
urc is the right place to do that.

uk.rec.cycling, the newsgroup so unusable that a moderated group had to be
urgently formed!

I knew they'd be back.

And I suggestt hat you learn to be able to respond without "f"ing and
"C"ing.

If you are unable to do so then I doubt your ability to carry out the
actions of a moderator -- but I always did!

So let me respond in similar fashion

Which I dislike doing

But for you

Allan Braggins -- why don't you fuck off and get back to urcm. You are a
pain in the arse

FUCK OFF you stuipid ......

There you are I can do it just like you.

Except I find it demeaning to myself and I apologise to others who read
this. Sorry

Trevor, is there a point in you posting this here?
If you want somewhere to air your personal dirty washing try
uk.rec.handbags instead of here.
Don't apologise - you posted it here and meant to, if you didn't meant
to - don't post it.
