    Inner tubes. Our friend AND enemy.

    Which air pump are you going to buy? My experience with them is that while they are great in the shop and in your car, they aren't exactly optimal for airing up a flat tire along a road. Especially if you have higher-volume tires.

    That's probably because of the ugly learning curve on doing tubeless installs. And how insanely messy it can be. Especially for the first couple of installs you should expect that you will get sealant everywhere (so wear protective clothing, have drop cloths down in your shop, and have a mop...

    With a 20x3 you can probably run ghetto tubeless just fine. As long as you can run under about 25-30psi you can get away with that.

    GPS and its accuracy?

    This is one of those statements that is technically true but from a system standpoint is incorrect. Classic GPS signals are most certainly not sent through satellites in geostationary orbits. However, WAAS signals are relayed as "GPS-like" signals through communications satellites in...

    Mechanical Cable Actuated Disc Brakes

    Oh, yeah, if you think the Klampers or Equals are spendy, check out these hydraulic brakes from Germany at 1300 euro: https://www.trickstuff.com/en/brakes/brake-systems/maxima I like the fact that their brake fluid is processed sunflower oil..

    Mechanical Cable Actuated Disc Brakes

    Not all mechanical disc brakes have just one piston. The TRP Spyre is a good example of a two-piston mechanical brake. I run with them on my acoustic bike and they are excellent. TRP Spyre: https://trpcycling.com/products/spyre Paul Klampers are a single-piston mechanical brake but are...

    The Great Trail (aka Trans-Canada Trail), Penticton BC to Castlegar BC

    This is almost 400km of (mostly) unpaved grade-separated trail. The good: I'd say most of the distance was very good surface, mainly luxury gravel. The very best sections were between Grand Forks and Cascade, just out of Penticton, and the Myra Canyon sections. Also this is where you'd most...

    The institute for the study of war begs to disagree with you: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-september-15-2024 Roughly 2/3 of the fighting army they had in February of 2022 has been a casualty at this point. Best estimates is that Ukraine...

    How exactly could we vote in Russian elections? Seriously, it is hard to see how Russia won't take a crack at Poland and the Baltic States (and possibly Finland, heck) in the future. That seems to be just how that country is wired at this point in time. Bluntly replacing Putin won't change...
