How does this work, or does it?

It's on Queer cycling, 1942. On you tube.

Have you ever considered why you need a 50/11 or 12. If they were removed, then the gaps in the middle of the cassette could be reduced. I used to run a 45/42/28 chainset with a two tooth jump on the cassette throughout. It effectively gave a one tooth jump over the cassette range, and a bail out cl...

Is a printed lug or rear end going to be a cast metal and so inherently weaker than forged material?

Thanks for that. Seems....just what is needed.

What is the best method of resealing goretex garment seems? DIY.

You used to be able to get vests with a nylon inner face and cotton outer face( tchibo) or polypropylene inner with a wool outer face (helly hansen) The sweat moved to the outer layer, so giving a reasonable feeling of dryness. Better than wearing two vests of those materials. Personally for below 4...
