    Turbo Vado SL5 2022 wheelset recommendation

    I would suggest talking with a wheel-builder shop/business. The wheel-builder would like to know this information first: The estimated total weight of the rider + the e-bike + any cargo (total system weight) The fact it is an e-bike, and the general terrain to be ridden Then, the wheel...

    2026 FIFA World Cup

    Your interpretation is -- as usually it is -- silly, Charge. No issue to fly the flags in the public if it is done by authorized services. (Yes, I know it is the British -- not English -- flag here). In Poland, national flags are flown on public lamp-posts by local authorities, and citizens...

    Back from Houston. I'm too old and ailing for transoceanic trips! A 1.8 km Walk That Almost Killed Me! "You must see Rice University!" everybody was telling me. Caught the "train" for one long stop. Then I walked into the academic institution founded in 1891 by one William Marsh Rice, a...

    Vado SL 4.0 with a suspension fork?

    Not in Vado SL 1 4.0. Only in 5.0: it is a carbon fork. I use Redshift on my Vado SL 1 4.0; it's a normal steerer.
