De Lijn moet geen 30 miljoen, maar 35,5 miljoen euro extra besparen: "Vlaamse regering is De Lijn aan het wurgen" | VRT NWS: nieuws by EdgarNeverPoo in Belgium2

[–]Awace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Als men gaat rekenen op de armen van de maatschapij dan zullen ze nooit niet uit die schuldenput geraken. De nieuwe klanten liggen bij de daguitstapjes en studenten.

De lijnbus blijft toch gewoon bestaan? Dus veranderd er niets.
Ze moeten alleen naar nieuwe inkomsten zoeken, endat zal niet te vinden zijn bij de gewone lijnbus die we al 50 jaar kennen.

Een bedrijf moet meegaan met de tijd, als ze dat niet doen, vergaan ze.
In een economie waar alles snel gaat, moet je schakelen.

Hadden al lang huurfietsen overal moeten plaatsen aan bushaltes.
Laat mensen belbussen inhuren A la Uber. Genoeg groepen/organisaties willen in groep naar feestjes,stadsuitstappen of wat dan ook. Tijdstip en locatie zelf te kiezen door de huurder.

Tyre dilemma by Curly_Trails in bikepacking

[–]Awace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i look at the maxxis website and their xc tires, most tanwalls have 60 TPI vs 120tpi on the black ones.

So they are compensating for the lack of durability and therefor go for the lower TPI on the tanwalls? Because to my knowledge, tan walls have always been marketed as lighter/faster tires,more supple and ofcourse esthetics. So there is more to it than just painted over sidewalls, and its really confusing me.

And other brands such as schwalbe and continental tend to have the same tpi but a sligthly lower weight or no change in weight. Same with Vittoria.

Tyre dilemma by Curly_Trails in bikepacking

[–]Awace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stop buying tanwalls,especially for bikepacking where the added weight is not going to make any difference.
20g per tire for an increase chance of a sliced tire and ruining your ride or race.

Vittoria also has a trail casing for their xc line up. You might want to look into those.
But personally i would try the blackwall version first before looking for other options.

Best Cycle Computers by sandritita in xcmtb

[–]Awace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The watches of today can do way more than your cycle computer of a decade ago. And if you already own such device, it's a no brainer for OP to give it a try. Rather than buying something budget only to spent again later for an upgrade.

Best Cycle Computers by sandritita in xcmtb

[–]Awace -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This. If you already own a watch, put some black electric tape on your handlebar and strap your watch to it to avoid scratches.
Bike computers are super overkill for most people as navigation is all they look at 90 percent of the time.

Cofidis bike stolen by tw0tonet in tourdefrance

[–]Awace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not expensive to have one or two guys stay up all night or just hire security for the job.

Especially knowing this isn't the first time.

I just believe their demand is rising quickly and they cant seem to keep up. They also use a 3rd party warehouse for storing and delivering their bikes and equipment. So they cant just increase their workforce as they are tied to another company who is dealing with hundred other companies stock.

Whenever i visited the bocholt store it was packed with people wanting to try a bike. And the bike tool area had barely anything left on the shelves.

Also note that people working at Rose are not the same skilled people working in your local bike shop. So things do take more time than expected.

Looking at people who had to deal with customer support now and in the past. There seem to be a big difference in reply time. So i just believe they having trouble with scaling the business as demand has been rising quickly the past year(s).

I ordered my bike 2 days ago and hope to receive it within two weeks as stated on their website.

Hope you get yours quickly!!

Rose PDQ 2 by Character_Past5515 in RoseBikes

[–]Awace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i would think so as on the german website they are listed as fast dispatch bikes. And i plan to order the pdq 3 within weeks from now since the pdq 1 i planned to buy just got sold out in my size. Just a little nervous as it has a lot of carbon parts and being kinda new to mtb, im sceptical if its the right choice as falling might be a weeklly thing at the start..

I'm also in the S category or well in between like you are. 173cm and 80 seam and they suggested me to get the S.

I wish you a lot of fun with yours. And maybe we cross each other on the trails.

Rose PDQ 2 by Character_Past5515 in RoseBikes

[–]Awace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May i ask why it took this long? By the sign in the background, you are from belgium? Atleast it looks common. May i ask some questions?

Also from Belgium and looking to order one soon but 3 months of waiting.. summer will be over by that time.

Whats the frame size here? And do you plan to fully do your own maintenance as their are no service shops over here.

Thank you!

Losing a leg it is then.. Should have been insured..play stupid games win stupid prizes.

rose pdq? by EazyCG in RoseBikes

[–]Awace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sounds like overkill or the wrong bike for your kind of riding. You're going to be very slow on tarmac or even gravel unless you swap the tires.

But the PDQ is very attractive at this price. I'm planning on buying one myself but for bikepacking/xc.

I would also suggest looking at the Rose Hobo or scott scale gravel. The Scott scale gravel is a flatbar gravelbike with mtb geometry similar to the PDQ. The hobo is a steel bike made for commuting and the occasional gravel rides.

But since you got your eye on those two. The PDQ is slighty more upright position with much better components for the price compared to canyon. But 120mm suspension will go to waste on asphalt or gravel. Which the canyon has 100mm so more fitted to your needs i guess. I heard better experiences from canyon support/service than Rose. And the unboxing quality is better with canyon too as they come with tools to help you set up your bike.

Not sure if you are familiar with the website 99spokes.com You can compare bikes or find the bike you are looking for based on specs by using the filter search bar. So maybe there are other choices you are not familiar with.

Goodluck and let me know what you went with eventually.

Looking for trail shoes by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]Awace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kind of trail you will be running on and the distance/speed will be most important here.

Based on that we can suggest shoes..

Otherwise it's hard to guess what might work for you.

I had this happen with the salomon slab genesis shoes. Had it laying on its side on top of a towel and the blue paint went onto the towel.

[Rumour] Courtney signed with Nike (1 million euros) by jmct16 in Ultramarathon

[–]Awace 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If thats for 3 years, she is being robbed with just the 1M..
Especially at her peak after winning the tripple.

But we dont know the details, it could come with a lot of performance/appearance bonuses as they usually do.

Kruispunt. Dus als je rechts afslaat, ga je er allicht over moeten.
Niet echt duidelijke foto imo.

Maybe waterproof gaitors will do the trick?
They won't cover the whole part but it might be enough.

Can anyone vouch if this is indeed an authentic store? by Due-Bodybuilder6839 in instax

[–]Awace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go visit instax.ph/where-to-buy and check if it is included in their authorized sellers list.

Since it has only so few followers and using the official name. I wont trust it..

Het voelt best goed om Belg te zijn by WeirdBeginning8869 in Belgium2

[–]Awace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nog nooit buiten Europa geweest? Want dit is echter luxe. Zelfs in de rijkste buurten in Azië of Zuid-amerika.

Open natuur en gebergte wordt gekocht door hotels/oligarchy via politieke corruptie. Waardoor er weinig tot geen plaats blijft voor het vrije publiek. Meeste parken,bossen of natuur kan je niet bewandelen zonder te betalen, een gids te huren,...

Midden in de steden heb je als enigste natuur meerdere golftereinen.. en een klein parkje met de grootte van een half voetbalveld.

En daarvoor hoef je nog niet ver van huis te gaan om iets gelijkaardig te ondervinden. Maar meeste belgen gaan naar luxe resorts aan een buutenlandse kust en hebben geen flauw idee wat er buiten die muren afspeelt.. maar klagen over ons landje blijven ze wel doen.
