VEHICLE Blista Compact | |
Vehicle type | Civilian car |
Body style | 2-door hatchback |
Capacity | 2 (driver and passenger) |
Appearance(s) | GTA Vice City GTA San Andreas GTA Vice City Stories GTA IV GTA Chinatown Wars GTA V (wreck) |
Manufacturer | Dinka (HD Universe) |
The Dinka Blista Compact is a two-door hatchback available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and GTA Chinatown Wars. In GTA Chinatown Wars Blista Compact is simply named the Blista. In GTA V, Blista Compact wrecks appear. In the HD Universe, the Blista Compact is manufactured by Dinka.
The Blista Compact is a separate vehicle to the Blista in GTA III, GTA LCS, and GTA V.
The Blista Compact is a common car in the games it appears in, and is generally considered to be a satisfactory car, particularly useful for quick getaways and general evasive purposes. Its above-average speed, acceleration and handling make it a useful car in almost any situation. It is also the only vehicle in the games with front wheel drive.
3D Universe
Unlike many other vehicles, the Blista Compact's design has remained almost exactly the same in all its appearances, apart from different engine sounds and minor cosmetic differences.
Like its design influence, the first generation Honda CR-X, the Blista Compact sports a hatchback design and a very small curb weight; in fact, the Blista Compact is easily the smallest and lightest passenger car in GTA Vice City. The car has a two-tone paint job in GTA Vice City, with an always-black bottom half, but in later games was remodeled to feature a variety of colors in all-over and two-tone styles.
HD Universe
In GTA IV the Blista Compact becomes the second lightest car, (the Uranus being the lightest in GTA IV). The Blista Compact may spawn with any combination of optional extras, including a spoiler (body colored or matte black), sunroof, side skirts, twin exhaust pipes, or a body colored windshield banner.In GTA V however,the Blista Compact is not a drivable car.But the wreck of the car can be found.
3D Universe
Since its introduction in GTA Vice City, the Blista Compact has usually been an impressive small sports car, capable of outrunning more rare and more expensive performance cars. In GTA Vice City Stories, however, the Blista Compact is slightly slower, and suffers from moderate oversteer. Blista Compacts all use front wheel drive, except in GTA Vice City Stories. This could be due to the fact that it is based on a 1984 model in GTA Vice City Stories, rather than a 1986 model. In GTA San Andreas, it is possible that the Blista Compact is turbocharged, as evidenced by its engine sound characteristics.
HD Universe
In GTA IV, the Blista Compact is a true driver's car. It is powered by a high revving, twin cam 1.4L four-cylinder engine in an FF drivetrain layout, giving it a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h). This makes the Blista Compact the seventh-fastest car in GTA IV. The smooth 5-speed transmission and light weight (weighing as much as an Air Tug at 1400kg, but being beaten out by the Uranus) means it accelerates from 0-100km/h in 7.4 seconds, tying it with the Cognoscenti. The stiff suspension gives it taut handling, and paired with the fast acceleration and top speed, makes this little car exciting to drive. Braking is relatively good, partly due to it's light weight, but ABS is unavailable due to its age. Its turning radius is 35 degrees. Due to its small wheels, stiff suspension, and light body construction, the ride is that of which you'd expect in a sports car. It is very firm but still somewhat settled, but is somewhat unstable as it can roll over from obstructions easily. The body is relatively resistant to collisions, and for its size and age the engine is durable, however it still cannot sustain much gunfire or collisions before the engine dies out or catches fire. All in all, the Blista Compact is one of the best two door vehicles in the game due to its performance, fun-to-drive nature, and accessibility. It is also very easy to park due to its high maneuverability, and can spin around with one rear wheel in place, while in reverse, and is able to execute the Spin and Go maneuver.In GTA IV, the Blista Compact is worth $1,500 at Stevie's garage, where Niko can bring the vehicle after completing all of his missions.

Tips on Cooking with a Cast-Iron Skillet
Once you cook with cast iron, you'll understand why people are so attached to this sturdy, efficient cookware. When well-seasoned and cared for properly, cast-iron cookware can last generations and will provide an excellent natural, nonstick surface. Cooking with cast-iron skillets isn't much different than using other types of skillets, but there are a few important techniques you should be aware of in order to get the most out of your cast-iron cookware.
How to Season Cast-Iron Cookware
A chef's favorite for its even, slow heat and durability, cast-iron cookware lasts for generations as long as it is well taken care of. Regular seasoning creates a natural non-stick surface and protects the cookware from rusting. Here are the step-by-step instructions for how to season and care for your cast-iron cookware.
How to Clean a Cast-iron Grilling Grate
A cast-iron grilling grate is the perfect material for grilling because of cast iron's ability to heat evenly and retain heat for long periods of time, and cast iron is extremely tough and durable. Although cast iron can withstand all kinds of punishment, it cannot withstand water, the natural enemy of cast iron because it causes rust and deterioration. This guide will help you care for your cast-iron outdoor grill while preventing rust.
How to Break in a Stainless Steel Frying Pan
Unlike cast-iron fry pans, stainless steel fry pans do not need to be seasoned before use; and unlike nonstick fry pans, you will need to use oil to avoid food sticking to the surface of your stainless steel fry pan and even then, some food will still stick. While these facts might seem like disadvantages, they're actually the reasons why many cooks prefer to use stainless steel fry pans. High-quality stainless steel cookware may not be the best for cooking things like eggs, but for the most flavorful searing of fish, meat, and vegetables, stainless steel fry pans are unrivaled. The following steps will teach you how break in your stainless steel fry pan before each use.
How to Buy a Skillet
Whether you're frying eggs or making a gourmet meal, you need a quality skillet to cook with. Some of the most frequently used cookware items, skillets are made of various metals, with or without nonstick coatings. You can also buy an electric skillet to cook breakfast or dinner foods quickly. With the many skillet options available, you may be unsure of the right pans to buy. This guide will provide you with tips on buying the best skillet for your kitchen.
Best Reasons to Own Cooking Books
Finding a recipe online is easier than ever, and as a result, many people seem to be forgetting that traditional cooking books are a valuable asset to any kitchen. Cookbooks provide an enormous amount of irreplaceable information to anyone who needs to put together a meal or bake a treat. Here are some reasons why cooking books are a necessity for casual and serious cooks alike.
Types of Skillets
One of the most versatile pieces of cookware for any kitchen is the skillet, also known as a fry pan. The types vary in cost, materials, and ease of cleanup. While plenty of skillet choices exist, selecting the one that best suits your needs will help make every dish a success.
How to Resurface a Tub
Porcelain, acrylic and cast-iron tubs can chip and rust after years of use. Instead of installing a completely new tub, you may be able to resurface the old one to look like new. Follow these simple bathtub-refinishing steps to safely restore your old bathtub and revitalize your bath.
Tips on Maintaining Your Bronze Bathroom Fixtures
The rich look of oil-rubbed bronze bathroom faucets is an upscale addition to any bathroom style. The copper-red color has a rustic feel, giving the bathroom a warm, inviting feel. Bronze bathroom fixtures are more corrosion resistant than their iron, brass and cast-iron counterparts, but they still require some upkeep. Keeping bronze bathroom fixtures looking shiny and new requires several maintenance and care steps, as moisture and harsh cleaning solutions can easily damage bronze bathroom hardware. Here are a few tips on maintaining your bronze bathroom faucets and other bath fixtures.
How to Cook With a Griddle
Cooking breakfast or even dinner on a griddle doesn't have to be reserved for camping anymore; in fact, you can simplify your cooking by using electric grills instead of a bunch of pots and pans. With the right electric griddle and a bit of cooking oil, you can feed a crowd in minutes. Read on for tips on cooking with a griddle indoors and out.
The Ins and Outs of Steam Generators
A steam shower is only as good as its steam generator, so you want to be sure to find one that's right for your steam shower when you're shopping. However, if you're like most people, you probably haven't shopped for a steam generator before and know little about them, which can make finding the right one a little tricky. If don't know much about them and aren't sure what makes a certain steam shower generator a good choice, then this article about the basic ins and outs of steams generators is for you.
FAQs about Steam Generators
One of the benefits of a gym membership is being able to enjoy the sauna or steam room. Now it is possible for you to have your own steam bath at home. All you need is a steam generator and either a steam shower or sauna. Then you can enjoy luxuriating in the cleansing humidity and heat of steam. If that sounds enticing, here are some answers to frequently asked questions about steam generators to help you make it a reality in your home.
How to Care for Wooden Spoons
Wood has long been used for eating utensils, serving utensils and preparation tools. Wooden spoons are a cooking essential and also a beautiful addition to your kitchen and dining experience. On the practical side, these lightweight yet strong utensils are great for tossing salads and serving everything from mashed potatoes to green beans. Wooden spoons are also the perfect preparation tools for use with nonstick pans. Cleaning and general care of wooden spoons differs, however, from the cleaning and care of metal utensils. Wood expands in water, so soaking the spoons in dishwater is generally not advised. Aside from a few basic rules of care, however, it is not difficult to keep wooden spoons looking like new.
How to Cook Chicken in the Microwave
Why spend time baking chicken in the oven when you can use the microwave to cook meals in half the time? Whether you consider your microwave a popcorn machine or you have experience cooking entrees in this appliance, you can easily create a great meal with the right kitchen tools and these simple steps.
How to Choose Cooking Knives
A quality set of kitchen cutlery in your kitchen is the difference between a pleasurable cooking experience and a tedious one. When you're shopping for individual knives or cutlery sets, the main things to look for are durability and a long-lasting sharp edge.
FAQs about Convection Oven Cooking
With the availability of countertop convection ovens and traditional ovens fitted with convection-baking technology, home cooks are discovering the baking methods once reserved for professionals in the culinary industry. Consistent baking results and even heat distribution are two of the biggest reasons to buy a convection oven. Even seasoned home cooks frequently have questions while they are adapting to the new way of convection cooking.

Manchester garage asks for computer system to track repairs
"It's basically a fleet-compatible system that allows us to keep track of everything that happens with a vehicle," said Wesley Anderson, director of the new department. "You have the basic capacity now to keep track of what you are spending, but it really doesn't have the capability to help you manage the fleet."Late in the 2012-13 fiscal year, aldermen approved spending $200,000 to maintain several pieces of equipment, including repairs to fire trucks.
That issue is being taken up as part of negotiations on a new contract.
Anderson said it can also help the city rotate equipment to prevent some vehicles getting more wear and tear than others.
"I could look at, say, all my dump trucks that are in the same year of purchase...," he said. If more was being spent on a particular truck, "it would give a focus on why — is it an operator issue, do we have a lemon, is it the route that it's on?"
Central Fleet Management expanded to service Manchester Water Works vehicles earlier this year. Further expansion to care for the Manchester airport's fleet is unlikely, Anderson said, because few airport vehicles are used off the site. Many are one-of-a-kind vehicles for specialized use, he said.
The Water Department would be responsible for about $40,000 of the total.

Did they fix the gvim bug? I think it first surfaced with 260.19.06
New drivers,
No change log or announcement yet. Can be found on their FTP
Did they fix the gvim bug? I think it first surfaced with 260.19.06
Here's the bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336837
ill try those, hopefully they can cohabit with ati display drivers, because so far 260 always breaks the nvidia control panel
This is very unlikely when you know how many files are replaced by nvidia. It is impossible to use oss 3d - in best case 2d. Lots of files are replaced with nvidia binary, i dont think that has something to do with 260 series as you mentioned, this was ALWAYS the case. On U 10.04+ they are not replaced but in other sub dirs where those are selected via a ld.so.conf hack triggered by update-alternatives when you use a ppa.

Hosts of Doctor Who: Podshock
A Grand Celebration of 5 Years of Doctor Who: Podshock
This past Saturday, the 21st of August 2010 was not only our seasonal meet up on Second Life, it also marked the 5th anniversary of the Doctor Who podcast, Doctor Who: Podshock. (We used our last meet up last May to mark the 25th anniversary of the Gallifreyan Embassy).
People from all corners of the world came together to have fun and to meet Doctor Who: Podshock hosts, correspondents, supporters, and other Doctor Who fans. As usual, Victor led the much anticipated TARDIS tours, a staple of our meet ups on Second Life in which he takes a TARDIS load of people to other Doctor Who themed areas of Second Life. This time, he even allowed me to pilot a Jon Pertwee style TARDIS for one trip. It was very exciting indeed.
The TARDIS Tours took us to Who Island which had a replica of Stonehenge with 'underhenge' which we discovered the Pandorica (and it opened)! We also got to see the console room seen in this year's 'The Lodger' episode and as always the tour concluded in the Doctor Who Museum. The virtual museum chronicles all of Doctor Who throughout its long history.
Ian Bisset
Ian Bisset, Host
Ian Bisset was born and raised in Lower Hutt, New Zealand and until 1988 was a Doctor Who watcher rater than a fan, it took the acting prowess of Colin Baker to start the young man off in his journey to becoming a Doctor Who fan!
By 1991, Ian was established in the Wellington Chapter of the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club and attended his first Doctor Who convention (it was one day with no guests an it was held in a school hall). By 1992, Ian was instrumental in organizing DoctorCon 2,
Yet another guest-less convention, but one that got the attention of the New Zealand media due to a typo.
James Naughton
Host, 2005-2011
James Naughton has been a sci-fi fan for as long as he can remember. Growing up in the UK, he spent most of his early years cowering behind the sofa to the Daleks.
Always interested in technology, in early 2005 he started his own podcast, about everything and anything. This lead to involvement in various other shows, such as Rough, Ready and Raw and Doctor Who: Podshock. These days though, he prefers to invest his time podcasting solely about science fiction.
Louis Trapani
Louis Trapani founded the Gallifreyan Embassy (GE) in June of 1985 to serve the growing fandom centered around Doctor Who and other British science fiction during the mid-80s in the US. Originally a local organization with local meetings, today it is international, serving the global community.
In 1989, Louis graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York where he majored in the media arts department.
Ken Deep
Ken Deep comes to podcasting from the traditional broadcasting medium. Having honed his skills in professional radio and television broadcasting, he applies the same vigor and enthusiasm to our podcasts.
He, along with Louis Trapani were there from the beginning of the Gallifreyan Embassy and helped to bring it to where it is today. His extensive knowledge of science fiction is evident in all our shows.
Ken continues his work in traditional broadcasting whilst also being one of the pioneers in new media. His experience interviewing people from a wide range of backgrounds is vast. From his work hosting a national show on Air America to being a voice-over talent, Ken has mastered it all and brings that experience to our podcasts.

Red Blood Cell Separation using Magnetophoresis
Application ID: 12847
Particle Tracing is used in conjunction with magnetic fields and pressure-driven microfluidic flow to calculate the separation of red blood cells from blood plasma using magnetophoresis. An array of soft iron rectangles on either side of a microfluidics channel modifies the magnetic field induced by a pair of neodymium permanent magnets. The resulting strong gradients in the magnetic field produce a magnetophoretic force perpendicular to the flow channel which is used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma. Cell motion in this example hinges on small deviations from permeability equal to one. Here it is slightly below one (thus diamagnetic) Changing blood oxygenation changes this and changes the particle motion. This model is based on the paper by Schiavone, Kavanagh and Desmulliez presented at the COMSOL Conference 2009 in Milan (model DB 7134)
This application was built using the following:

A whimsically comical medical condition with pathophysiology that occurs in the abdomen when the superior mess enteric artery and the abdominal aorta crush the left renal vein like a nut. Ironically, the syndrome can present with left nut pain in men, since the left testicle is drained by the left renal vein.

Re: The epic begins
In for one! Thanks for another great shirt DeadFrog!! gizmoduck1234, do you thrive off being an ass on the internet? Creativity can be great, but when I pick a new shirt I try to get one that represents a piece of me and can be related to by the people who actually see it (not me). Therefore, this shirt is complely deserving of the votes it has received. DeadFrog may not have created an original idea and its represenation may not be unique, but DeadFrog made a damn good shirt. Simple as that. Why complicate it? Woot shirts aren't about art, it's about awesome shirts at awesome prices. Often art and pure genius originality leak through, but that's completely irrelevant. Thanks again DeadFrog!!
I forgot to check the derby this time, it takes so long to load all the images on my ancient computer that I just wait for the derby winners to appear and then buy them...it works out ok usually, but in this case I really wish I had had more patience and had a chance to vote on this shirt, it is so intricate and interesting...and by golly its just so darned neat!
Re: A New Calling
awesome design!!! wish it was in the fog... GMV!!
Woot needs more bird shirts! But seriously, nice design, I'd add this to my collection probably.

Even if it was unintentional, it's still awesome.

O_O That's amazing. For me it'd be $10 well spent.
My only issue, and I know it's minor. Walt was left-handed, so his pencil would be resting on the left side of the table.
Oh, for christ's sake, Gizmo, give it up. You've spewed your verbal diarrhea for all to see. Yes, he, and everyone else here as well, knows that it's NOT a completely original idea. DF put his own spin on it, and it WORKS. It's simple, cute, and is easily understood. We all get that you don't like it. Hooray for you. It looks like you're outvoted, so go away..... Don't go away mad, just go away.
Re: Birth of the Moon
Looks more like the pooping of the moon. Talented artist for sure, just not my cup-o-tea.
Re: Hope Seed
This shirt is infinitely beautiful. I see that it didn't win but is there ANY possible way to get one? I really don't know how shirt woot works, is there a chance for a runner up to be printed or anything?
will buy if printed
I need this shirt. It's rigged. I wish more people could recognize the reference. Any way I can be notified if this goes up for a future printing?
oooh, i just love this shirt. go dead frog. i have but one problem...paypal was down and i didn't get one before they alll sold out. any chance of getting one elsewhere/elsewhen? i teach at the university of maryland, and the turtle is our mascot. regardless, thanks for making me laugh. firstname.lastname@example.com
Definitely Nagel-esque. Anyone else notice a little lazy-eye thing?
This is certainly going to be bought if its printed! I will probably buy two in case something horrible happens to the first one. No joke- this one is great! [and yes, I'm a Disney fanatic]
Re: Life Renewed
Very hot shirt I love the colour contrast and how the futre of the cute small phoenix is shown in soothing contrasting 'clouds' in the background. +1

Walt didn't create Mickey. Ub Iwerks did.
No I can't believe it didn't get printed I really wanted it. I still want a 8x10 print if you will let me buy it off you.
I'm sorry that your shirt got shafted by one vote. I really wanted this shirt to win. re-sub in another derby if it fits the theme please.
1 friggin vote?! i'm kicking myself, i missed voting in this derby. it feels like the kennedy v nixon election, only this time the right "shirt" didn't win. please re-submit, your artwork and creativity are amazing. i need this shirt!

Re: 1928. The birth of an icon.

Still hoping this one gets made! I love the colors and most of all the subject! We want COOKIES!!!!! Make this shirt! Pleeeeeease :-)!
Love the design, and color! I've put 10 bucks aside for this one!
STILL really really want this one! Please Woot....make it so?
Can't wait to pick this one up - it caught my attention because of the Revelation reference.
the contrasting of positive and negative colors works well and the design alone should have made it to at least third place

Similar to owned or pwned. extremely embarrassed; either by oneself, by another individual, or having brought such extreme embarrassment to another individual, that the event deserves such a special proclamation that no other word will quite suffice in the situation.

- Young Chastity.. Girl-next-door sucking and fucking. Unreal -- If I saw this girl in any other setting, I would think she had never heard the word "fucking". Let alone anal, swallowing, etc. Good grief. I'm beginning to think they're all like this when you get them behind closed doors.

"I enjoyed this short book"
This was a very short book. Clever, and loved the ending. That's what kept me going..... the ending, and what it would be. Nothing I suspected, and that in itself was satisfying. I enjoy the quirky sense of humour the author interjected. Parts of it made me laugh out loud. Good when you just need a short book, well written!
"Last of the trilogy"
I enjoyed this book. I really enjoy the writing style of this author, and his extensive historical research, making his books such an enjoyable read (or listen)
This book concentrates on WW1 and the battle at Galipoli.
Again, I did not know much about this era, or this battle.
In school, WW1 was glossed over, and more concentration was placed on WW2, so I learned quite alot.
Having said that, I enjoyed the first book in the trilogy the best. (The Potatoe Factory), the 2nd, Tommo and Hawk, the least, and this book I found to be nowhere near as wonderful as the Potatoe Factory, but it was still good.
IMHO, worth your credit. Make sure to start at the beginning though, with The Potatoe Factory.
"Why is this such a famous series???"
Ok, I got sucked into this book, thinking I could really get into a good series.
This book and series has had lots of acclaim- how could I go wrong?
For the first third of the book, absolutely nothing happens.
Just kept plugging along, thinking it would change. How could so many people love this book, right?
Then by the time something did happen, I was totally uninvested with the characters, and I thought "Who cares?"
How this series has found so much fame is really beyond me. I found it to drag, and I also found it poorly written. Perhaps it gets better with the other books, but I won't be wasting me time, or my credit to find out.
"Thought I'd give Dickens a try."
I am one of the few people I guess, that just doesn't like Charles Dicken's writing.
He takes FOREVER to describe something, or to get to the point.
He is a masterful writer of course, but he just doesn't "move it along" fast enough for me.
I just couldn't get into this classic.
"For very young readers"
I purchased this book after hemming and hawing.
The reviews were so promising. Rhys Bowen was supposed to be such a great writer.
Well, stick with Nancy Drew books.
They are a little more "involved" with a plot
What can I say. Dull, Boring. Fast forwarded almost everything.
What a disappointment!!
"Waste of my credit"
I know, I know, this is was a best seller.
Well, I just didn't get it.
Extremely biased just on this religion.
I couldnt get through it.
I did not gain any deep insights.
My bad.
I haven't written a review for a long time, because the audios I have chosen haven't been all that noteworthy.
This book is the exception, prompting me to write a review.
First off, I had never heard of this author. (shame on me)
Second, I only purchased this on the good reviews, and the storyline intriqued me.
It is the first book since Game of Thrones, that I absolutely did NOT want to stop listening to. (btw, game of thrones is a completely different genre, however, both the writing, storyline, and readers are excellent!)
This is a book that I am glad I listened to, rather than buy the hard copy to read.
The reader was exceptional. I could picture this entire book in my head as he read along.
I researched this author, and found that sadly, he had passed on last year I believe.
The literary world has lost a wonderful writer.
Fortunately for me, I listened to this one.
This was a new author for me. The title didn't exactly grab me, but the reviews were amazing, and this audible was on sale at the time.
I'm so glad I purchased this. Even if it wasn't on sale, it would have been worth every penny of my credit.
First off, the narrator was beyond fabulous. I have only ever heard a narrator this good before (imho) and that was the narrator for The Game of Thrones audibles.
I think this is one that needs to be listened to vs read.
Bryce Courtenay really researches his novels. It shows. This is a three part series, of which I listened to all three . I thoroughly enjoyed book one and book three, but I felt book two in the series was a little boring,(esp compared to one and three) but that is just personal preference, as in all things!
Worthwhile. Bryce Courtenay is a brilliant storyteller, and Humphrey Bower is as brilliant in his part as a reader / actor!! Can't go wrong with this duo!!
"Not a bad book, but not great either!"
I had high hopes for this book. While it started out interestingly enough, it could not hold my interest, however I ploughed on til the end. When I start playing the book on 3.5 speed I know it's a lost cause. Didn't take me long to start listening to this book on 3.5 speed!
"Charlaine Harris should just STOP now!"
This was a total DEAD END in mho. I won't be reading any more in the series if she puts another book out. Just dull now. This series has been worked to death.
Time to find another great series. I wouldn't bother with this one.
"A new author for me!"
Didn't think I'd have enjoyed this book as much as I did, nor the series for that matter. The reader kept me totally interested, and Antony Ferguson was excellent!

"Comfortable Helmet"
I really like this helmet. The cinch fit system is elastic so you don't have to keep adjusting a dial in the back. Very comfortable. Buying another because I crashed in the other one. No cracks but I don't want to take any chances. I love the fit of this helmet. Very comfortable.!

Old is new...Gasp! Just when the disc brakes zealots have been preaching to us that discs will be the next braking advance on pro team bikes, Ridley changes to...linear-pull brakes. What's the odds others will follow?

Re: Old is new...
Fair guess - it's no surprise that the pro teams are more interested in going faster than stopping. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Old is new...There are very good technical reasons not to have road disk brakes. Listen to this velocast spinoff for such a discussion (link to mp3). It's quite eye opening.
Re: Old is new...Looking at the road bike ride I posted here it's pretty obvious discs for road bikes are mostly overkill. Most notably the first thing to give out is not your brake power but rather the tyre traction. Disc brakes do nothing to help this.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Old is new...Yep, I put a link directly to that mp3.
Re: Old is new...
Hmmm... was broken, for me at least. Interesting podcast. I think I shall subscribe.
Re: Old is new...
No doubt these guys will be crucified for their heresy. But their comments are pretty much the same as I've made elsewhere on this forum. The most telling comments: "a new product to empty your wallet" and "a solution to a problem that doesn't exist". Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Old is new...Braking tracks on your rim wear out and if I could buy a set of Zipps that would last for 10 years after replacing the rotors a few times, I would gladly pony up the dollars for Zipps or Enves. Carbon doesn't age or wear out from bumps but nothing can prevent abrasive wear from braking.
That said, I'll be waiting a long time for Zipp to put discs on a 404. A LONG time.
Re: Old is new...As someone who has crashed into the side of a car in the wet because my brakes didn't work, I hardly think there isn't a problem rim brakes in the wet.* Initial bite is important with emergency braking. You need to be able to decelerate instantly in an emergency, not wait for the front rim to dry first. Having said that, it really depends on your setup and circumstances. My current wet bike (when the roads are wet as I don't generally ride when poring rain) is good with V brakes and 50mm tyres. The wide tyres shield the rims to some extent from getting too wet. I started with front disc on a road/CX bike because I had trouble getting enough leverage from the hoods to get the back wheel of the ground under braking with caliper brakes. I tried better pads but it still didn't work well for me. After using disc for a couple of years, I then decided to go back to rim brake on the front with the spare wheels and CX fork I had. This was the result, so I went back to disc. As is the same with many things, if you don't like discs, no-one is making you buy them. Rim brakes aren't going to go extinct just because some people prefer discs on the road. *Under certain circumstances
Re: Old is new...There are very good technical reasons for pro-tour riders not to have road disk brakes. For the rest of us who are not worried about aero and who don't ride on closed roads, they do have advantages. The velocast blokes did concede that they were good on "city bikes" and that is about what many of us use our road bikes for. I regularly do a 15km run to the CBD on shared paths and my time on a MTB with knobblies and discs is about 2-3 min slower than on either my 2012 CF roadie with dual pivot brakes or my 1991 steelie with dual pivot brakes (they both feel the same). The difference is that when I approach a blind 90 deg turn into an underpass I have to start braking about 5 meters earlier on the roadies, with less confidence in the result. I would estimate that on a roadie with discs, I would be about 10min faster than on my MTB. And no, I am not in a hurry but we all benefit with high intensity training rides - I always say that I am training for something more important than the Olympics - the next 20yrs of my life.
Re: Old is new...
Go back and read the OP properly - you will see that the subject is brakes on pro team bikes. But anyone planning to ride a CX bike on the road would be wise to remember that these bikes and their brakes are designed for low speeds. Oh, and if you cannot stop in the wet and have a collision, perhaps you should question your own judgement. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Old is new...Any other judgements?
Re: Old is new...
Go back and read his post properly-Emergency Braking. You know, the Jeebers moment when every microsecond and centimetre counts. Maybe if Nobody and myself were mind readers we'd be able to foresee the event in time to scrub the rims dry. ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: Old is new...
Emergency braking: When it's wet SLOW DOWN. Exercise some judgement and ride at pace where you can stop safely in an emergency. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Old is new...I'm thinking of a front disc on my Azzurri commuter similar to what you are running Nobody. My reason is that the rim brakes are wearing the bejeezus out of my front rim. The wet rim picks up grit that ends up becoming embedded in the pads. The noise coming from the rim on one of my kangaroo populated steep descents during my commute sounds terrible. The rim is getting chewed up fast.
Are discs a bit more durable or cheaper to replace if not?
Re: Old is new...That's one reason (other than unpredictable braking) why I swapped to disc first on the MTB. Got tired of wearing away my front rim in the wet. Discs are about $30. A steel one should last a long time. A new Avid one is ~1.82mm by my digital vernier calipers. Mine is down to ~1.74mm now with about a guestimate of 2/3 to 3/4 of the pads used. Although I haven't found a minimum spec, I'd probably replace at about 1.5mm for safety which may be after two sets of pads. That might end up being a total of 7 years or more for me. However the main reasons to change for me would be the extra wet weather safety and not having to listen to my rims grinding away.
Re: Old is new...
Nice info thanks mate .
Re: Old is new...I dont know if anyone here has noticed, but all accidents/ collisions occur when you dont stop in time. Sometimes it just doesnt matter how much you prepare or expect something or ride slowly. Accidents, by their very nature, happen. Riding slowly in the wet is no guarantee of safety.
As for discs, I bought a CX bike for commuting and using cable discs on the road in drenching rain is just about as good as good rim brakes in the dry. For those thinking that the brakes aren't designed for speed of a road bike, consider this: CX races are commonly held in the wet with mud and moisture regularly getting on the braking surface. Add into that the fact that CX races are typically held on courses with big terrain differences and considering that they are 'races', I think general commuting and road riding will be well within the brakes abilities. My experience, having ridden the bike on bunch rides and using it for three months for 35km per day commutes with 800m relief, is that the brakes are more than capable of handling the speed of road riding. As for the other brakes from the original post, its kind of scary to think that pros are being expected to ride something with poorer braking ability than what is possible from widely accepted industry standard brakes. The aero advantage must be immense!!!
Re: Old is new...I think it's more like they can win or lose races by the tiniest of margins. They also live in a different world to us as they can go fast enough that aero makes a significant difference and cars don't suddenly pull out on them in a race.
Re: Old is new...Yep, I think you'll find the professionals have very different expectations of their bikes in the open road without support vehicles.
Don't forget, they have race bikes and training bikes as well, so they can spec them very differently to suit those conditions. Even nonpros do this (2LLegs, that's YOU)

Tactics board shop also reviewed the new Keano shoe. The Keano is dropping in the line for Spring 2011 as well. It's a drop to the floor cup-sole shoe, but because of the construction, it feels like a vulcanized. So now you will have board feel and protection all in one. Some of our team dudes keep bleeding us of the limited pairs we have until they come out. Super good.

Fling - a joystick for your iPad
The Fling is an analog joystick that can be attached to the screen of an iPad, for better control when gaming
Article Summary
Although it's pretty impressive how the screen content of an iPad can be manipulated entirely by touchscreen, one need look no farther than the popularity of Bluetooth keypads to see that sometimes users want separate physical controls. Now gamers-on-the-go can buy gizmos that allow them to play their iPad-based games in a way that offers much more control than simply sliding their finger back and forth on glass – the latest of these tablet joysticks to cross our desk is Ten One Design's Fling.
