Overall opinions of draft and next year
(30 Jun 2009)
I am happy. I see the Kings keeping Tyreke as a point guard. I like the toughness that Omri Casspi will bring to the team. Do not expect miracles next year but improvement of I feel 10-15 games. After that and after having a year together I can see playoffs in year 2-3 with this core group. I admit I am not a Westphal fan. But can not always get everything. My choice of coach was a gamble perhap but I like seeing defence. My choice was Bill Laimbeer. Now here is a future lineup perhaps?

Which of these bikes for all around riding in AZ?
(25 May 2009)
Hello, I'm new here. I have been riding for about 2 years with friends. I am currently on a hardtail and am getting ready to drop some $$ on a FS. I've narrowed it down to a few different bikes and was looking for opinions. Keep in mind my friends mostly ride T100, Hawes and So Mtn (mostly national). I also want a bike that can tackle Geronimo (as it looks very very fun). The bikes I've narrowed it down to are a Chumba EVO, an Intense Tracer or a ReginX (seemed kind of heavy though on trails lik...

Haw to Calculate Spline with profile shift X
(12 May 2009)
I need to use a 24/48 involute spline with 60 teeth, but need to get 65.0 mm OD (a bit larger than what you get with a standard 60T-24/48).
To get the 65mm OD I need to use profile shift X - same technique as with a gear. Can anyone explain how to calculate the necessary X factor? For a gear it would be simple but for a spline I don't know what I should shift - the deddendum of the 24 DP, or addendum of the 48 DP?
Or something else yet?
My calculations, when shifting the deddendum show that X=0....

Have we changed things...forever?
(05 Jul 2009)
I was thinking about what the Joker said to Harvey Dent in the Dark Knight about changing things forever, and thought about the Magic over the past 2 seasons. Have we revolutionized the way the game is played? Playing both Rashard and Hedo seems to have teams either trying to copy us or stop us. I think thats why the Raptors went all out for Hedo. Why the Pistons chose Villanueva over a more conventional 4 like Boozer, why the Cavs are thinking about playing King James at the 4. Sacremento used...

What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?
(05 Jul 2009)
i was thinking about how we can get our hands on a real franchise player, how many teams in the league have no all star players on their team? the kings, thunder, bobcats and twolves.... oddly enough all of those teams suck. i dont want to trade kevin because he could easily become the best number 2 option in the nba if we had a real superstar on our team.
What superstars could we trade kevin for? granted kevin wouldnt be able to get us lebron, wade or kobe but could he get us another player lik...

A Radical Idea. Discuss. Warning: Lotta Reading.
(29 May 2009)
I have heard this idea batted around for quite some time now. Like most reading this right now, my knee-jerk reaction was "that's insane." However, after reading Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell discuss the matter in-depth on ESPN dot com...I don't feel that way anymore. I'm not sure if I agree, but I think it's at least worth thinking about.
Either abolish the drafts in sports outright, or change the format to a random lottery to decide pick order.
Sounds insane...until you think about it a li...

Whats your opinion - tack related
(24 Apr 2009)
Currently I have only ridden a handful of times, enough to get a nice working walk out of her nice give, relaxed and free moving and starting to work on her trotting and bending and getting her good like she is at the walk. Anywho had the skin issue arise and that shoved riding her and such to a screeching halt until furthur notice (maybe another week or two to be on the safe side)
Anywho She started off, western bridle with a racing D bit with copper rollers. I soon switched the bridle because...

Newbie greetings and opinions sought
(28 May 2009)
I am a forum newbie on the brink of a Sport Classic purchase and, after a considerable period of "lurking", I decided to register, introduce myself, and ask a question.
As for the introduction: I am a 58 year-old ex-pat Brit living in Colorado (moniker is pun on county name). I got my original m/c license in England back in 1967, and well-remember the cafe racers of that era (mostly Nortons, BSAs, Triumphs, Royal Enfields, Velocettes, etc and various combinations of same). I currently own a 1983...
