$10,000+ is the price range for e-bikes and ultralight AXS/Di2 configurations. About the only aspect comparable to the €350 bike you describe is they have two vastly different wheels.

It’s not what you’re asking for, but the recent Scott Spark series integrates the rear shock into the carbon frame compartment, which is a neat invention.

It’s straightforward and rarely messy at all. Doing a partial bleed typically takes less than 15 minutes. Sometimes longer if air really gets trapped. And low-end bleed kits cost $20-30. If you think bleeding is daunting, wait until you nee

#1 needs to be emphasized. 8-12 years ago I knew modern C++ inside-and-out. I worked on high-performance template developer libraries. These days whenever a C++ opening comes up in my job feed, it's in game development or it requires e

This line of argumentation is brought forward too seldomly. It’s not solid, but as a human centrist, the only future that’s made me pause is the potential loss to human research and enjoyment if our ecosystems collapse. Animal advocates wou

As a cyclist, online cyclists are among the most annoying people in the world. What’s worse is most of them aren’t even athletes.

Bash extensions are cool to have in the interpreter. I really don't think we need more than the basic POSIX shell for most scripts. I once wrote a tar replacement in it, with a restricted YAML generator and parser and a state machine —

I wasn't citing or referring to anything external, just to my own experiences cooking. Still, I appreciate learning about your culture. If there are extra virgin olive oils that withstand medium-high and high heat, I'm jealous! I

I have never even setup Siri. Sometimes I've been tempted to enable it so I can say, "Siri, call 911!" if I'm assaulted or injured on the trail. I doubt it would help, but it's occasionally disconcerting when my pho

Sorry, yes, most food types do not require high heat. Non-refined olive oils — even your rare low-acidity example — do have a low smoke point in practice. All store bought “extra virgin” olive oils in my experience also burn closer to 300-3

Searing or frying meats on the stovetop can easily exceed 400f. Below sufficient temperature the process will take too long and the meat will dry out. A steak seared at 350f will likely have a non-charred exterior. Air frying dense meats af

It’s a moot point. If BTC is seized or forfeited to the US government, and the (co-)owner later transfers them out of the original wallet, it will likely only accomplish the addition of felony criminal charges. It is an assist to the federa

Yes. To defer to the prosecution’s arguments, however, it seems that Gary was charged with the following crimes: - removal of property to prevent seizure (18 USC 2232) - money laundering (18 USC 1956) - obstruction of a criminal proceeding

To clarify for some readers, you really only need super tall stems for major downhill sections and drops. Standard gravel bike geometries are just fine for most singletrack, even on gnarly terrain that most riders would balk at. Brake lever

Google Docs isn’t a backup service. If ransomware or a child (or Google) deletes your synchronized documents, and you don’t have an offline or remote append-only copy, then you didn’t do enough disaster mitigation.
