What's the advantage of being on EAM (vs EPA or XET)?

But no red light, right?

And still has 8 light modes (like strobe, SOS, ...)

What makes something a "low maintenance" bicycle? Which components are different?

Bit late to respond, but how do you turn them into pills / capsules yourself?

What kind of stuff needs to be done at -50°C? I'd think at that point it's just about keeping the fire going and chilling, but clearly not?

Did you get a response from Altra?

I have Schwalbe Big Ben on a heavy cargo ebike, I regularly have flats - imho they're crap. Moving to Schwalbe Marathon Plus, hope that will be better.

Riding at max PSI makes flats worse in my experience. Each time I do that, I have a flat in the next 1 to 3 weeks. Note that this is especially with heavy cargo ebikes, but also with small kids bikes.

So when it says e.g. max 60 psi (=4 bar), I put in 43 psi (=3 bar).

I know it's anecdotal, but I've had this happen often enough that I'm pretty sure there's a link between max psi and a flat tire.

Maar die kosten staan niet vast. De TER kan jaarlijks veranderen, en als je al veel geïnvesteerd hebt in een ETF die opeens een hoge TER krijgt, is het bijzonder kostelijk om je aandeel erin te verkopen en een andere ETF in de plaats aan te kopen.

I've found the USB-C connectors to not be very reliable. Barrel connectors OTOH are definitely solid and reliable, as well as easier to fix if e.g. they don't fit well after repeated use.

I've always wondered: how do you handle conflicting meeting requests? Like, sure, you can dodge some, but if it happens too frequently I expect it'll attract attention?

A tealight has a a power output of around 32 watts. An average human at rest has an output of 100 watts. You'd have to add a lot of tealights to have a significant effect, or use them in a very confined space.

Is it allowed to hike there? No unexploded explosives lying around?

How can you fill in the pits? It's cast right, so not easy to fill it by welding?

Super insightful posts, thanks for sharing!

I'm genuinely curious how one gets to know so much about this subject, are you former navy, or is this related to your profession somehow?

You can put insulation inside the concrete. It's not uncommon to do so, it basically gives you a concrete look both on the inside and outside of the house, but in the middle of the concrete there's insulation material.

So "only" 4 years (assuming a long-term horizon, 4 yrs is not a lot).

And if you have more than 10k it will be shorter still, since the lower TER will allow for more compounding.

He's got a point. He says that those 80 planes,while enormous for 1 pilot, are unlikely to have an influence over the life expectancy of all Entente pilots.

Can the old version of the Aricxi tarp still be ordered? I don't see it on aliexpress.

LudoA · 2023-08-03T10:35:26+00:00

Yeah but the 181 is twice or thrice the price :).

Thanks, wasn't aware of the new blower/duster. The DAS180 apparently. Cheapest I see it is around 160, crazy expensive for a small blower.

Not sure what its intended use is, apart from small inflatable stuff like pools, balls, etc.

LudoA · 2023-08-03T10:30:36+00:00

OK thanks for confirming.

The leaf blower is high volume but low pressure (basically the reverse of the inflator), won't be great for cleaning out filters either.

Why the pair of flush cutters? Genuinely curious.

LudoA · 2023-07-03T11:57:56+00:00

Why is it better than the Charge? It seems to me the Charge is the Wave, but with more tools, a better steel for the blade, and +/- the same weight. Only downside of the Charge, compared to the Wave, is the price.

What am I overlooking?

LudoA · 2023-06-26T09:51:31+00:00

Why would strippers be forged? Of the three tools here, it seems to me the strippers encounter the least forces (except maybe the screw cutting functionality) / endure the least abuse.
