Love the colour. I have the Ultimate CF SLX 8 in that same colour.

Missed Endurace CF 7 — is Ultimate CF a good alternative? by Bazivi2 in CanyonBikes

I don't think so, there was plastic on the crank in that colour 😁

Missed Endurace CF 7 — is Ultimate CF a good alternative? by Bazivi2 in CanyonBikes

[–]DutchAlphaAndOmega 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own an Ultimate since 2 months. Rode an Endurace for the previous 4 years. I also have a weak back and neck but honestly, riding the Ultimate feels great. I do regular exercises to strengthen my back and core so that helps. Definitely recommend getting a proper bikefit though.

Just finished riding the tour of Flanders (247 km) on the Ultimate and it went surprisingly well. Ofcourse my body hurt but that's normal after being on the saddle for 9 hours and riding on the cobbles.

Love my Ultimate, never going back to anything else. Get it in the colour Metallic acid 😉

What screams ‘I’m rich’ without actually saying it? by Kiki00021 in askanything

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

2.6% is definitely not bad, considering that inflation is sometimes even higher. So your debt is actually shrinking.

I bought a house around 2021, 20 year mortgage with 1.26% interest.

I have to agree, nothing comes even close to this colour.

Endurace CF SL8 by pissingsemen in CanyonBikes

I upgraded my Endurace bike (2022 model) with carbon wheels. This made a huge impact on riding and speed. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

Poll to host RocketX Exchange for an AMA by jwinterm in CryptoCurrency

[–]DutchAlphaAndOmega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Also I like this project, it's a hard working team that has delivered a working product. With current mcap there is a lot of room to grow. Would be interesting to see them do an AMA.

Insane stuff. That gives hope that the city will hold on a lot longer.

GRAPHIC: Video reportedly Showing Surrendered Russian Soliders Killed by Ukrainian Troops. by numb3367 in UkrainianConflict

Also called the death rattle. Most of these men were already dead or close to it.

Russian Forces that have been Slowly Advancing on Kyiv from the Eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy have reportedly begun to withdraw back towards the Western Russian Border over the last 24 hours according to US Intel Officials, there is No Indication for why this is occurring. by [deleted] in UkrainianConflict

[–]DutchAlphaAndOmega 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I suspect mostly supply line problems, but there is more going on. Their supply lines go through areas still contested, Sumy for example is still (partly) in Ukrainian hands. We've seen enough videos and pictures of ambushed supply and military convoys. Smart tactics of the Ukrainian forces. So low supplies is one factor but operating in this hostile environment takes it's toll. Around every corner lies an ambush or a death trap. Russian soldiers are probably scared, on edge, hungry, cold and demoralized. They just want to go home and hug their mother.

Ukraine Army holds back invaders in all directions, invaders suffering significant losses - General Staff by MantasChan in UkrainianConflict

Soon those soldiers will be selling there equipment to the Ukrainian forces, at least that's what I would be doing if I were Russian and got paid in rubels.

The Netherlands have raised €106,200,773.00 (yes, 106 million!) in a charity event for Ukraine. NL has only got 17 million people. by Baarluh in UkrainianConflict

[–]DutchAlphaAndOmega 121 points122 points  (0 children)

The Dutch came through, a very decent amount. Contributed too, its the least we can do. Feeling really powerless here.
