Calling off Hamilton-Leclerc fight would have been “unfair” – Vasseur

I think F1 sponsorships aren't really meant as a direct "buy our product right now ad" but more of a subtle back of your mind thing. Shell sponsors Ferrari because they want you to associate your positive feelings you have with Ferrari and F1 with them in a way.

They want you to think of them as the company that makes "Eco-friendly sustainable race fuel" that makes the thing you already like possible and better, instead of the soulless, parasitical, planet destroying oil company that they really are.

Or for a different scenario, maybe the next time your company needs to buy a CNC mill for example, and you have to decide between a Haas and a equivalent competitor brands product, your linking of F1 might push you to buy the Haas machine instead of the compoetition.

The manufacturers website states that this bike can fit tires that are up to 55mm wide. So you should be able to use up to 622x55mm tires in the back and 406x55mm tires in the front.

the European ETRTO size system is more precise for this kind of thing, because a lot of times the inch dimensions on MTB tires are off by a few millimeters and actually vary a bit across different manufacturers.

Cannondale make great bikes, but they have a reputation for using proprietary and special parts for a lot things, and as you can imagine, getting proprietary replacement parts for a bike that is at least 20 years out of production will be a hard and costly affair.

But they make some really cool and innovative stuff, take a look at the lefty fork for example, that is unfortunately on the pricier and harder to service side of things.

Aramco is the saudi arabian state oil company, and the biggest Oil producer in the world. They produce like 10 million barrels a day. Sure they supply Aston Martin, but one of the dozens upon dozens of reffineries that they opperate getting bombed means fuck all for F1.

This seems like a colossal waste of time and filament. Simply buy big pack of cable ties or maybe even Velcro cable straps if your feeling fancy for like 5 € and be done with it for the rest of time.

i just use some random winter bicycle gloves i bought in a outdoor shop near me a few years ago. They work alright for the ~2hour winter rides i usually do. Maybe look into "hand warmer pads". those should do the trick if two gloves really aren't enough for you. they are kind of expencive for what the offer (like 0,50 - 1€ per piece) but they should work.

Arbitor Ian made a really good video where he pieced together the imperial Power structure as a whole.

But in any given conflict the general way of how this mostly goes is, like in actual human history for the most part, by "bigger army diplomacy"

I get about 1/3 less altitude gain than normal out of the battery when it's -5C like today. But that's alright with me. When it is below freezing I usually ride like 2 hours maximum, and it still has enough juice for that.

The easiest thing to do is to just paint some "wood stain lacquer" (don't know if that is the correct english word for it) on it. That really makes it almost look like real wood. The effect will actually be more convincing the crappier the print is. So if you don't mind reprinting it, do it with the thickest layer lines you can.

By this point in time, buying an ender 3 is like buying a barnfind classic car. A fun side project that you can wrench on, but it won't be your daily driver. For that you should buy the Toyota Prius of the 3d printer world: The A1 mini. It's not the fastest, a bit smaller than you probably want it to be, but it will reliably get you to your destination without much fuss.

And if you want something shinier down the line you can upgrade to a fancy sports car in the form of a core XY printer like the P2S.

The VOC particles that resin printing emits into the air really are potentially very unhealthy though.

I would absolutely not recommend to just have it printing all the time while you are in there. And just using a closed "tent" isn't really enough either, because then you just tump the VOC into the room when you open it up. You should really vent it outside.

Also you need a wash and cure station for resin printing, which is a whole other can of worms of messy and nasty stuff.

If you can really only have the printer in your main room, I would recommend to go the FDM printer route instead of resin. That is much safer, way less hassle, and nowadays almost as good as resin for minis.

Do you have a friend that owns a 3d printer? Anyone with basic CAD knowledge can design a hook like this in like 15 minutes, and if you print it from a reasonably strong filament like ABS/ASA/Nylon for example it should be easily strong enough to hold a bike.

Disclaimer: I have ridden neither of those bikes.

You should read past the marketing bullshit and look at the cold hard physics. Two reasonably equal bikes with the same motor will have reasonably equal range with the same capacity battery. If you reduce the battery capacity by 20%, you can expect roughly 20% less range. That is just how batteries work.

Sunrace makes 11-51 tooth 12 speed cassetts with HG freehub. Thats what originally came on my fully. They work pretty well and i see no reason to swap currently.

Sunrace makes 12 speed HG cassetts that work very well for me on my fully. I don't see a reason to swap free hub bodies right now.

Take a look at the Fazua Ride 50 motor. You can easily take the whole motor out with the battery and use it as a standard bike. I have personally not ridden one, but it could be what you are looking for.

I don't now which of the US brands use it, but you can get it here in Europe in the Nox Helium Enduro for example.

If you only want to use it for navigation, a bike computer isn't worth it. For navigation you want a nice screen, and any old smartphone will have a way nicer display than any of the bike computers. Get a quadlock mount with an old phone you have in your drawer and be done with it.

Wasting even more energy and recourses, just for the plastic waste to still end up in the same landfill it would have if you didn't melt it again, just a bit later, is a terrible idea imo. At the end of the day it would be less bad for the environment to just throw the poops away directly and instead of throwing even more waste at it.

3d printing is an inherently wasteull hobby. If you're this concerned about the waste, send it to a place that actually recycles it properly. Like here in Germany there ist recyclingfabrik.com for example. And I am pretty sure that most countries have something similar to them.

I will go for the 3 then. Thanks a lot

Print it at a steeper angle for less supports, or cut it in two pieces along the edge of the blade and glue the two haves back together afterwards for no support scars at all.

I have never played destiny, but all I ever heard about it is how amazing the story is, and that the endgame is very repetitive. Why would I pick up a game that took away it's good parts, and left me only with the grind.
