  • Shimano is relegating clutch derailleurs to the history books – and that's a good thing | BikeRadar

    Jump

  • I have yet to try these new Shimano derailleurs, but reviews I have seen seem to indicate that that amount of chain slap is a definite step backwards.

    I am inclined to think that the damping added to the suspension system by a derailleurs is fairly minimal compared to the actual forces involved, and worth the trade-off for systems with a reasonable amount of chain growth.

  • I wonder how many re-makes of TR1 we’ll get in all. So far:

    • TR1
    • Tomb Raider Anniversary (same story, similar levels, new controls and engine)
    • TR1 Remastered (original engine, new models and textures
    • Legend of Atlantis (modified story? Otherwise all new)

    Not tired of them yet, played them all so far and won’t stop now.

  • Hyped for this!

    Wonder why they decided to announce both at the same time though. Seems like a bit of an odd choice.

  • Judging by the average altitude above current sea level of the Netherlands, they may BE the climate refugees.

    Jump

  • I’ve been hearing rumours of them considering over-regulating mountain bike racing; limiting suspension travel for XC and Enduro, etc.

    Forcing the turned in brake hoods on a minimum width bar (40cm) seems quite silly here too. Straighter hoods on a 38 or 36 cm bar would be better all around.

    Thanks.

    Jump

  • But seeing the data is half the fun. Love being able to reference power numbers for climbs and rides both while riding and occasionally after-the-fact. Even if I’m not using it for any serious training plan.

    Jump

  • Surely, if printing money (theoretically) causes inflation; and if collecting taxes reduces inflation, then the two are somewhat closely related.

    If the amount of money that can be created by the government is somewhat limited, then surely tax money is another valid source for that money.

  • Wouldn’t that be 60 Hz without a rectifier, and 120 Hz with one? If the voltage crosses zero twice per cycle, but goes negative only once.

  • Canada’s BRP Adds Two Electric Motorcycles To Can-Am’s Offerings

    Jump

  • The range and charging leave a lot to be desired for many applications, but the bikes themselves seem to be quite nice.

    My concern is that finding chargers will be even more difficult than it already is since I don’t think there is any DC charging support. So none of the side-of-the-highway EV charging stations will work, and you’ll specifically have to seek out a level 2 charger next to a coffee shop or something. Just makes any travel longer than the ~130 km range even more hopeless.

    If I didn’t already commute everywhere locally by bike, I would definitely consider something like this though.

  • This All-Carbon EV Motorcycle Looks Like Tons Of Fun, Weighs Almost Nothing

    Jump

  • Definitely agree on the recycling. Carbon fibre is a whole can of worms there.

  • This All-Carbon EV Motorcycle Looks Like Tons Of Fun, Weighs Almost Nothing

    Jump

  • In general, agree with your explanation here, but would disagree on the repairability point. Lots of carbon repair shops will repair carbon parts. Often just needs paint sanded off and additional carbon bonded on. Generally doesn’t bend and deform like metal parts, so the cracked bit can just be cut out and reinforced.

    On the other hand the aluminum alloys a lot of car parts and bikes are being made of end up quite difficult to weld and re-heat-treat in practice, so no easier than carbon.

  • Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about

    Jump

  • Makes sense.

    In that case better for efficiency than interior blinds, but still blocking your view out.

    Would be handy for an especially hot day or week, but I wouldn’t like to have to keep my windows covered all summer.

    Jump

  • Interior blinds are mentioned in the video: basically since they’re behind the glass the energy is still getting in and green-housing a bit. Blinds heating up is heat inside the room. Also block the view out, which awnings don’t.

  • How To Pick A Safer Helmet - According To Science - Pinkbike

    Jump

  • In the PinkBike video, they mentioned that the full-face helmets didn’t perform as well in at least the rotational impact tests due to their higher mass and moment of angular momentum.

    I think it always ends up being a bit of a trade-off, depending on the types of riding and impacts expected. In a low-speed impact to the side of the head a regular bicycle helmet will often do better than a big heavy motorcycle one. Obviously the opposite is true for a motorcycle crash at 80 km/h.
