  This is terrible to hear, but lovely to see Maj left such an impact on everyone.
  Like many I never met her but enjoyed the updates throughout the years.

  This is great, bars look comfy, might need to try!
  Love the IG content, reminds me I need to put together my CAAD10 for winter. :)

  Ghent Belgium, so quite a bit out of your way.
  I see you already have a local offer, so that would work out better!

  Might be interested if it could be posted at additional cost.

  What you actually need to do is become the EU version of Paragon. But that is another scale all together :)

  There are actually some nice builders throughout the EU making interesting stuff, if someone could consolidate it all into a EU shop by and for builders could also be a nice thing. I imagine makers like making stuff, not taking up the hassle of admin of selling stuff themselves.

  You could turn down some stainless threaded bushings to not have to thread the frame. Butt everything would get even larger and require more work in the end without any real benefit. It all sounds like over complicating things when you can just go the UDH route and I do love some standardization.

  Also the disclaimer here is that I am looking at the problem from my experience as an engineer working in heavy duty automotive industry with no affinity to bike making whatsoever. We tend to overreach just a bit. :)

  You'd solve that with a dab of blue threadlocker no?

  I'd maybe use nice stainless torx countersinks to mount instead of the socket head, but that's personal preference.

  I would like to confirm Brugge is a shithole tourist one-day trip hell hole.
  My wife is from there and my in-laws still live there, but every time I walk around in the city centre I feel a bit sad.

  Can also confirm driving in Belgium is shit.

  conclusion: Belgium is shit

  edit: cayenne is nice btw, best generation by far.

• Winter gloves

  in Bikes & Bits • 2 months, 2 weeks

  

  We have fully embraced the Hestra way of life: ski, bike and general run about gloves are Hestra and not have had cold fingers since. My wife has suffered from cold fingertips as she can remember and all has been solved with the Hestra's.

  Sound like a promotional blurb, but sadly we paid full price for ours. :(

  Guy on a group ride this weekend gifted me an old threaded carbon fork!
  Clearance is a bit less than I wanted, but al least I can use a quill which will be nicer for the bike.
