    Gender Neutral Spanish

    Worthwhile for who? Corporate executives? Most likely. They'll still be needed, but a lot less of them. Skilled labor? It could save time in the design phase and for business work, but they still need humans until the robots take over. Small business? It depends on what kind. I could see a lot...

    Just for fun...

    She is at least on her feet, and has a chance to get away from a slide. He, on the other hand, is sitting way up on a loose mound of sand, with loose sand right over his head, and would have little chance of getting away from a slide. He looks deeply engrossed in whatever is on his electronic...

    AI is changing this equation. It's going after white collar jobs, not labor.

    Be careful with those vertical cracks. If they're wide enough and deep enough to swallow the tire, your front rim can get caught in it, and then you're going down faster than you can blink an eye. It happened to me on a local road at 25mph. I rode away after fixing the flat, but I had to get a...

    Thanksgiving Day Thoughts

    We moved away for family reasons. Now that I don't need a 4BR home, I could afford to downsize and move near the water. I could not afford to do that without downsizing.

    Fitting Orbea rear derailleur cable

    I haven't built an Orbea with cables through the headset, but I've built plenty of Pinarellos with a similar design. Most (haha) worked out fine but I've had a few that were a real bitch. I had to get the housing lengths just right, with the proper amount of slack for movement, or there was...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    It's not a throttle per-se, but you push a button and all of a sudden have a kilowatt on tap. You have to pedal to get it, but it's not an assist mode at that point, with a relationship to the rider input. It's a lot like a foot controlled throttle. The other thing about the DJI is the riding...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    The HPR50 has two mechanical clutches. The HPR40 has one mechanical and one electronic (software) clutch.

    Nobody is as important as you, Stefan. The CIA told me so. 😁

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    Pinarello dropped them like a hot rock. Lots of motor failures and Fazua was difficult to deal with for warranty issues. In my neck of the woods, everybody wants DJI and their 1000W burst throttle. We are trying to bring a line in that has them, but it's been tough.

    Shimano E8000 + ... Alfine 8? Rohloff Speedhub?

    I'm curious what they will find. Thanks for the update.

    Fitting Orbea rear derailleur cable

    Great. Now you have some experience. Front derailleur cables that don't have sealed cable ends often get jammed up with junk at the derailleur end. You can try backing the cable off and using a spray cleaner in the housing, but if the damage has been done, the housing will need to be replaced...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    I think that the major problem for Rad was financial mismanagement throughout the life of the company. You don't sell 600,000 items at at least $1,000 a pop and go broke unless you did something wrong along the way. Time will tell.

    Bosch Drive Unit Service Kit - Maintenance BDU2XX

    If the drive unit is functioning well, is strong, doesn't leak, or make any noises, I'd leave it alone. In racing, you make no major changes before an important event. I'd do the same for a long trip.

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    Here's another thought. There are people on here that cannot refrain from turning any discussion political. No bleating from any dissident is going to change their behavior. Me, I ignore them. I'm not here to discuss politics in any way, shape, or form. You do what you have to do, but nothing...

    battery drain while "acoustic biking"

    The OZ looks like a good solution for motors without a dedicated 12V light output.

    battery drain while "acoustic biking"

    I've done a few Lezyne E300 and Fusion 550 conversions on Bosch e-bikes. I splice them instead of fishing to the motor. They've been well received.
