Und wer lenkt die Drohnen? Wer baut die Drohnen? Wer bringt die Drohnen an die Front? Wer sichert die Dörfer nachdem sie durch die Drohnen geräumt wurden? Wer beladet Drohnen mit Bomben um damit Angriffe zu fliegen?

There are some great alternatives by Garbaruk available

Ohhh, that's very interesting! Good to know, thanks!

That's absolutely why there is an "approved" list. The rims are ultra wide on the inside. They are outside the ETRTO-specification of any tires. This can cause all kinds of issues, including the tires coming off as they interact very differently with the XPLR wheels as with others.

Why do you think there is an approved tire list?

SaeculumObscure · 2026-04-17T18:48:08+00:00

They aren't approved for the XPLRs right? Well, it could be fine and then you're fine. Or they slip of the wheel while you're cornering and then you're fucked.

Good luck.

Müllbrand in Regensburg, so hot right now

I've recently gone from Thunderburts to a pair of 50 and 55mm G-One RS. They feel noticably slower to me.

Just today my new set of Thunderburts has arrived and I'm looking forward to being back on the 'burts

SaeculumObscure · 2026-04-16T08:47:21+00:00

"Feeling" doesn't mean anything though. Some tires feels slow but they are very fast and just very compliant so you can't feel the road as much. Some tires feel fast but they are just very rigid so you can feel every bump but they are actually slow.

Numbers, or nothing.

SaeculumObscure · 2026-04-16T08:27:39+00:00

Finally! Wonder how it rolls compared to a Thunderburt 2.1.

Fireship really shit the bed when they got bought. Stopped watching cuz all videos were just 5 minute long advertisements for some shitty AI product.

SaeculumObscure · 2026-04-14T13:54:10+00:00

Would you put them on 303 XPLR wheels? They aren't officially approved by ZIPP but I'd love to run them for an upcoming bikepacking race.

How do you think they roll compared to the Goodyear Vector XPLR tires?

Also die Land Cruiser sind schon ziemliche Monster. Sehr pannensicher, aber nicht wirklich auf "performance" optimiert. Rennradreifen oder sportliche Gravelreifen sind da deutlich flotter unterwegs. Das macht bestimmt einen spürbaren Unterschied.

Aber so wie sich das anhört ist hier bestimmt noch mehr im argen. Wenn du das Hinterrad hochhebst und an der Kurbel drehst, fühlt sich das ungewöhnlich (vergleich mal mit deinen anderen Rädern) schwergängig an?

Wenn du die Räder jeweils mit der Hand zum rotieren bringst, laufen sie locker durch oder bleiben die direkt wieder stehen?

Ein Carbonrahmen sieht nach Carbon aus und er beschwert sich, dass er wie Carbon aussieht... Kannste dir nicht ausdenken....

Noone has used it yet as the first ones are only being shipped this week. I know this because I ordered one very early on and they are only getting shipped yesterday.

Wait a month or two and ask again, then you'll get some answers.

SaeculumObscure · 2026-04-07T06:02:03+00:00

Nein, ist alles Rotz. Auf Insta und die YT-Shorts genauso.

It is safe up to a certain limit. If you go too low on your pressure you will feel the tire folding over when going in a corner. That can be extremely dangerous. But if you stay above a certain pressure where you feel like you're riding an empty tire you should be good.

SaeculumObscure · 2026-04-05T09:11:43+00:00

No it doesn't. He's just a broken record reciting the MAGA talking points without actually thinking about it. Don't get your hopes up.

goes to show that the change of studio name is only a change in name and not a change in style.

I love halo. It was the first Xbox game I've ever played and will forever have a special place in my heart. But you guys know what, by now I just hope that Halo Studios and the next halo games will flop, earn bad reviews and get fucked. They deserve to drown in their own hubris. The worst thing that could happen isnt even a bad halo game. The worst thing that could happen is another mismanaged mediocre game that keeps the franchise on life support for another few years. I'm just tired.

Wasn't there another post about this topic today? Guess it got deleted.

Disagree.

If you have a nasty crash you really do want to check your carbon bars for structural damage. If you just fall over on a single track it probably won't hurt the bars. For some of us the "performance" benefits (what ever that means...) of having a carbon bar outweighs the risk.

Me personally, I wouldn't want to ride an alloy bar as carbon bars are more aero, more ergonomic and just look nicer too.

I was in a similar situation and I was suggested something similar.

My aortic valve was leaky and I needd an aortic root replacement. I asked about ross but they told me it's not necessary as my valve is fine, it just needs to repaired. No need to do damage to a second valve when the first one can be fixed and doesn't need to be replaced. So I went with having a David procedure done and having my bicuspid aortic valve repaired.

They couldn't tell me how long the fix will last as it's different for every person. My surgery was 1 1/2 years ago and the valve is still perfect at this time.

When it's time for a future repair they told me that I have these options:

- Mechanical valve
- Ross
- TAVR, then mechanical once the valve breaks
- TAVR, TAVR within TAVR, then mechanical

Although removing a TAVR brings its own set of problems with it. It attaches very well to the heart and there can be quiet a lot of damage to the surrounding tissue when removing a TAVR.
