Watched a while ago on extreme engineering how they built it. Awesome.

The fork was on my dh bike. Is this the bridges forum now?

Which fork?

Which DH Bike?

What are you on about?

This is an Engineering Forum discussing Bridges from the Firth to the Forth/Fourth.

Right. First question then. I have a marzocchi dj 3 fork 100 mm and a marzocchi drop off triple 170 mm fork. Identical lowers. Do you think i could get more travel out of the dj fork ? A bit of engineering needed obviously.

No.

And it is not.

I am just a "lowly" Technologist with a sense of humour that could not resist the play of words. Engineers and IT specialists are known to have no sense of humour!

For Fork's sake give the man some leeway!

I was too scared to mention them, they train accountants and mother in laws at the same place!

What about the Engineering Technicians with Diplomas? All the BSc engineers can prove you can turn a tennisball inside out without cutting it open on paper and the technicians prove you can't

What about the St. Nazaire bridge? It was even a categorised climb in the Tour!

Is that not the same port / shipyard where the Queen Mary II luxury liner was built?

Ah, okay. I often curse the dudes working on the Edenvale-to-Atlas section.

You are correct. Built by Chantiers de L'Atlantique in St. Nazaire.

My sentiments:

Three lawyers and three engineers are traveling by train to a
conference. At the station, each of the three lawyers buys a
ticket while the three engineers buy only one ticket.
“How can the three of you travel on one ticket?” asks a lawyer.
“Watch and you’ll see,” answers an engineer.
Aboard the train the lawyers take their respective seats while
all three engineers cram into the restroom and squeeze the
door closed behind them. When the conductor comes around
collecting tickets, he knocks on the restroom door and says,
“Ticket, please.” The door opens a crack and a single arm
emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and
moves on.
The lawyers are impressed with this clever idea. On the way
home from the conference, they decide to copy the engineers’
technique. At the station, they buy a single ticket for
their return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers don’t
buy a ticket at all!
“How on earth are you going to pull this off?” asks a lawyer.
“Watch and you’ll see,” answers an engineer.
They board the train. The three lawyers cram into one restroom
and the three engineers cram into the other restroom.
Shortly after the train departs, one of the engineers leaves
his restroom and knocks on the other restroom door...
“Ticket, please!”
