rear suspension nitron

A while back, I received a letter from the UK via New Zealand. And I live in Germany...
Makes you wonder!

Blimey, That's like sending something to USA and have it arrive in the Union of South Africa.

The lesson to be learned there is to write out country names in full when you address mail. But even that's no guarantee. I've heard of mail addressed to Tasmania ending up in Tanzania, or stuff going to Austria instead of Australia.

Well, USA is shorter than Etats Unis d'Amérique and Chine than République Populaire de Chine. Just the size of the envelopes would double greenhouse gas emissions.

For China you could just do this: 中国
Or for People's Republic of China: 中华人民共和国

Learning to write must take forever in China, with over 50,000 characters.

Great Britain is geography Clem, United Kingdom is political history.

Do you want your mail to be delivered geographically or historically?

Do you want your mail to be delivered geographically or historically?

Historically, otherwise I cannot send a letter to Belfast which is not part of Great Britain but of Ireland. People kill each other for that .

Well set of shocks ordered from NITRON in the UK - with my shipping address given in big capital letters ; let's see if they arrive before christmas

 

[sideshow]

Had a Macbook charger arrive (in Oz) from Hongkers after a little holiday in Vienna!!

My surf board shipped from Argentina , the end of my surf trip in South America to Auckland NZ, took 3 years, and visited Australia twice and Japan, with Argentina between each sojourn! Insurance had paid well before she arrived in bloody good nick!

Well it still seems that porn is still posted wrapped in plain brown paper parcels . So NITRON shocks arrived at me doorstep without the round the world trip as feared.

Did they say what spring rate you got?

 

[russo011]

Did they say what spring rate you got?

will have to check - supposed to suit my weight and riding style - they customise to the values you state at time of order

 

[Vince]

Yes, it's always interesting what that turns out to be compared to your body weight. I have 2.6 straight rate springs on my Icons and I weigh 125kg. That works really well for me.

 

[Vince]

Yes, I am not a ballet dancer, or a slim-hipped long-armed SFC riding endurance racer. Thanks for the interest. I also don't fit typical suspension requirements hence my interest in spring rates. I also bench 200kg so what's your point
