Surely they teach you that sh~t, Nick?  ???

Symptoms appear within 24 hours, but the first two hours are the most critical.  ;)

(a little diving physiology for all you BMXers out there!  :daumenhoch:)

I haven't dived for two weeks.  :angel:

Go figure!  :daumenhoch:

Not the Bends, just too lazy to measure the fookers, although I am now thinking I should have bothered!  :coolsmiley:

1983 WIN Stem; same "M" as Sugino (I have tried) but the bolts are a few  (maybe 2) mm longer.  :daumenhoch:

When I use a set from a Sugino Stem they don't really get enough depth into the base to be safe.   :shocked:

HELP!  ::)

I think it's more likely to be M8 which would be for a 6mm allen key (if it were a regular hex bolt it would have a 13mm head)

an M6 would have a 5mm allen key fitting, that sounds a bit small for a stem  :-\

Oh yes.

Immediate O2 therapy, attach drip and scoot them the hell out of Dodge whilst maintaining the aircraft as low as possible :daumenhoch:
Not forgetting the dive computer for depth and  ascent reference.

Another one saved :LolLolLolLol:
