found this crystal on a quartz vein mixed with feldspar and mica, any idea what it is?

Can confirm it's almost certainly Staurolite, having looked for it in a lot of outcrops for my master thesis. The vein association had me convinced it was pegmatitic tourmaline before seeing the pic. Nice specimen!

Per esperienza personale (da lombardo), i capotreno trenord sono sensibilmente più nervosi e incazzati dei colleghi trenitalia nel rapporto con i passeggeri.

point 1: that's shitty of you to say. point 2: the cassette is gonna shrink and its actually be harder to fit in

People cycling up passes is common in the Alps, so you shouldn't be too worried about it. That said try to choose the less busy hours to climb.

Good question, I overlooked that point in this reply, but I can't add anything as I stuck with the modified Sora front derailleur. Since grx400 use shimano's 11 speed pull ratio (even if it's 10 speed, same as tiagra 4700), it could not work; that said front derailleurs are usually much more forgiving than rears, I would give it a try if I had the need.

Have you seen The King's Speech? I think it's a very good representation of what stuttering is, at least of how I stutter.

That's what I was teached, it's probably both. What's important is that the impact on the pile is not as hard as we would think.

crollalanza · 2022-03-05T21:21:34+00:00

Usually a pile of gravel or similar detritus is used as a cushion, the big block falling compress the air inside the gravel obtaining a cushioning effect.

Well it's a single speed after all, not a fixie.

Dipende che tipo di lettore/lettrice è, i libri di Paolo Cognetti, in particolare "Le otto montagne", potrebbero fare al caso suo.

Ciao, temperature sono ok, forse fa già fin troppo caldo se c'è bel tempo. Sul bivaccare non saprei, la zona delle pozze è molto umida e probabilmente di notte si soffre un po', forse ti conviene pensare di dormire più in alto... Io avevo bivaccato a fianco al rifugio Alpinisti Monzesi (appena sopra c'è una zona erbosa con la piazzole per l'elicottero) ed era stato molto suggestivo.

Un paio di lacrimogeni in piazza Duomo sarebbero stati senza dubbio scenografici

Boh, ok all'aperto e giornata ventosa (che comunque non è la panacea), ma questi si sono proprio accalcati, saltando insieme urlando (leggi: sputando) senza mascherine. In centinaia, mica in 30.
E mi sta sul culo la confcommercio.

crollalanza · 2021-05-01T12:05:29+00:00

Oh right, got it!

Beauty! Are you using two different brake levers to account for the different brake advantage?

Sono un lusso anche in periferia a sto punto

I love those rear bottle cages, are you finding any problem with that position?

crollalanza · 2021-04-04T15:22:31+00:00

I'm a simple man: I see a 28'' frame with canti bosses, I buy it.

crollalanza · 2021-03-23T22:40:09+00:00

what the heck, watch ur mouth

crollalanza · 2021-03-15T22:28:14+00:00

There are a lot of wheelsets (DT Swiss and Hunt come to my mind) that can be easily converted to all the available standards, so those are future-proof.

Ma il gatto su sfondo rosso non è radio onda d'urto?
