I really like the cargo basket on the Muli. I've kind of had my eye on the Omnium ( https://omniumcargo.com/de/shop/produkt/cargo-v3-wifi/#frame... ), there's a hinge attachment for the rack whic

I _have_ a trailer, but it's got too much bike holding stuff inside to hold a large bike. (It's a tall box, sorta horse trailer shaped, with benches on each side. Luggage goes underneath, 4 bikes go on the left on the bench, 2 on

That's one big factor why I don't have an e-cargo bike. Live in town, in a detached, Shops are <1km away. I want an bakfiet style e-cargo, but I've got no place to store one. Can't get a decent sized bike down the all

I've had an iPad since the month they came out, and over that time 3 full sized and one mini. The mini was by far the best for me. Small enough to be one-hand able without strain, and bigger than a phone for browsing, reading, and mai

Are your 28 and 42 tires the same type (e.g., the Rene Herse standard tires are the same construction across the entire size lineup), or is the 28 a road tire and the 42 a gravel tire? I've got a road bike and a gravel bike. A while ag

There should never be a _net_ compressive load on a spoke, but a spoke can carry a compressive varying/live load if there's sufficient pre-tension from the building process. You wouldn't want berd spokes to go slack any more

I bet if you ran the same tires in 42 and 28, you'd be basically at the same speed, at least on smooth roads.

Van der Pol won on 32mm tires this year, vs his normal 28mm. 32 also happens to be the biggest tire that fits in his Canyon race bike.

No. Wheels are a prestressed linear superposition of overall tension and a compressive load at the bottom. Generally, you'll see ~4 spokes at the bottom of the wheel relaxing to take the vertical load. (in a properly built wheel) This

No, you can't, because the elasticity of the spoke doesn't depend on the tension, only the cross section of the spoke. (and count of spokes, and to a lesser extent the lacing pattern).

I got one of the 2 page displays in the late 90's attached to a 2ci. It was ok, but heavy as hell. I wound up installing netbsd on it and running it as my router for a while.

Yeah, We've got a full sized iPad here and it's really strange to hold and use. It's all what you're used to.

I probably would have pulled the trigger on a price drop, but at 600+eur for an old version, I'm just not as into that, as I really expect it to be lasting many years.

Look at Ursula Vernon/T Kingfisher (at least the kid/YA focused ones). Danny Dragonbreath might be the right age range for the youngest (text + cartoon), and Minor Mage, Illuminations and Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking would be

Reading to kids every night early on helps. Not being pressured to read stupid crap in school helps. "You can get a library card once you learn to read" helped. Piles of books lying around helps. Older brothers reading a lot helps

Or a price drop. It's the one iPad that was ignored.

I loved my ipad mini. It's super long in the tooth now, and I was hoping to replace it today. oh well...

Yeah, I've had these discussions with some scientists who are _really_ into peat, and got down a rabbit hole looking at the various EU states and how they deal with their peatlands from a policy point of view.

by wiredfool 2y ago
In some countries, peat is considered biomass. It’s probably worse than coal in terms of per unit damage, but generally it’s burned in far lower quantities.

Braking performance is limited by: - angle of CG to front wheel, tan(vert angle) == max stopping acceleration in g (assuming front/all wheel braking, rear wheel only is different) - the coefficient of friction (generally in the rangeis
