Can you elaborate on this? With the exception of hookless rims (which are not common yet, at least here), TL wheels will take a clincher tire and tube, and TL tires will take a tube. The potential incompatibility comes from TL tires and TL

It entirely depends on the rim. First generation GP5000TLs were impossible to fit on some rims, difficult to fit on most rims and reasonable on a few. Second generation (I think late 2020/early 2021) are a slightly looser and will fit

Pasted description below from Sheldon's page. The A/B/C designation is even more confusing when you consider 700C wheels/tires which these days range from the uncommon 19mm to well over 40mm. In the French sizing system

I've never understood why bike manufacturers don't make it easier to look up parts by serial number. SRAM has done this right, you can search for parts based on s/n and it will give you exact specs (s/n is stamped onto

I'd also add an important point - never replace a punctured tube without thoroughly checking the inside of your tire for sharp objects. You'll likely only make this mistake once.

Switched to tubeless last year, but prior to that I've patched a few as an emergency and tossed it when I get home. All of my patches held but I didn't trust a single one. $10/tube was cheap insurance against a potential di

A pinch flat (aka snake bite) will generally have two pinholes, making it relatively easy to identify. With that said I have never had a flat on the outside of the casing without actually an obvious sidewall tear/puncture. Definitely

Did I break down and take it to the LBS for mounting? Also, absolutely not. Why pay someone $20 to mount the tire when I can spend an hour fighting it and end with nasty blisters?

by sasawpg 5y ago
I figured someone would ask - no, I didn't have one handy, all LBSs were sold out and online orders would have taken too long. Did I learn from the experience? Absolutely not, still haven't bought the Kool Stop jack ...

If you think decoding those numbers is tough, wait until you try fitting road (700c) tubeless tires. Buying is the easy part as in theory any 700c tubeless tire will fit provided you're within the appropriate width range, which is rel

Entirely depends on your org and your role. I work closely with 20-30 people, regularly with 50, and less frequently with 100+. Since joining I have closely worked with 100-200 (not at the same time of course). I've had the ability

And great experience to be gained by working with 100s/1000s of diverse team members across the world.

That last sentence speaks volumes - it all depends on your personality and situation. Currently I have no appetite for the startup risk and no time/desire to work myself to death on a daily basis just to see a startup succeed (or more

I have experience working at a small "start-up" (3-5 people), medium (50-100) and large (10k+). The small company gave me the confidence and experience to dig myself out of most situations and turned me into a "jack of all tr

Not necessarily true. It devalues if you hold onto the money in local currency. It does not devalue if you exchange (usually gray/black market) to another currency. In ex-Yu, this would have usually meant Deutschmark. It also does not

They didn’t sell them later, they sold them immediately. Roughly: - borrow $1mln - buy $1mln of coffee, regular price $10/kg - sell immediately at $8/kg (lower price helps move the goods quickly) - pay back $1mln loan By the time

Inflation stabilized very briefly, but the situation was unsustainable and it quickly resumed. I was pretty young at the time, but I remember that many people went for weeks/months without getting paid. Some government positions fare

Unfortunately there were plenty individuals/businesses that exploited inflation (among other things) during the war (and leading up to it) for massive gain. They'd borrow heavily, buy up as much staple as possible then quickly se

Unfortunately, weight loss is slightly more complicated than that, 450kCal/day for a month isn't quite 4lbs/month (even for fat) and my estimate of 350-450kCal/day for walking several miles is likely an over-estimate. I

by sasawpg 5y ago
You'll want to double check your math. 350kCal/day for a month is just over 10kCal. That's definitely not 30lbs of fat or even remotely close.

Not all cardio is built the same and walking/running (for many) is not the most efficient way to burn calories. Most "calories burned" are also an estimate, often based on heart-rate and other body parameters. I burn anywher

The parent implied diet was less impactful than walking.

by sasawpg 5y ago
And yet somehow walking alone does not seem to be a sufficient weight loss method for vast majority of people (nor does moderate cardio which burns considerably more).

by sasawpg 5y ago
Walking "several miles per day" isn't sufficient enough to burn tens of pounds without a major diet change. Even at 5 miles per day, you'd be likely burning 350-450kCal, which is not enough of an expenditure to make tha

Except if climate change involves burning down half the country because of a record hot and dry summer. We may not adapt half as well in that case.

Made me chuckle because that was mostly how last year went for me (Winnipeg). Only difference is that I still somehow plodded on in the obscene heat. One of the worst rides I had was started around 9 and I was completely cooked by the tim

I purchased a 20,000mAh “jump pack” for $120CAD two years ago to use with my boat. I’ve jump started it with no problems, and this was a Mercruiser 350. I’ve also boosted a car and a truck in -25C weather. They work great, are super portabl
