scheming ahead as you would expect from me, i warned them about us.
even though the place looks small, there is inside parking, quite possibly through the shop, out in the back room if the front area is packed.
be polite and say hi. (as you usually do in a place for cyclopaths)
identifying ones self as an LFGSS probate will get you plus points and...
bar manager Harvey is happy to sell us the pint of Singha for 3 squid and pizza for a 5er. don't think bottled beer is part of any deals.

will stick my head in to see how its going sometime 7 or 8ish.

i'm gutted and lack the words to share some of his impressions he made on me.
riding in town he often spotted me, but didn't shout or whistle.
instead would change his course and ride up be hind me with a smirk. that was his style.

roads will feel different now, you'll be missed!

wow, i just realised, i might feel a tiny bit passionate about those tyres.

i need to get out more.

just got pointed to this thread by bluequinn as i am quite an advocate on them re-fuses.

there is so much more to a damage as shown. bad tyre, bad batch, bad compound mixture that means the model is wac, age and above all, bad riding. i'd be eager to hear more details about that specific failure.

i think, it's a fairly educated guess blaming bad riding as in rubber abuse to be sole reason to be on a constant tyre search myself. i rode shit cheap ones, recommended ones, expensive ones and claimed to be indestructable ones and found one thing to be true - all tyres go.

how long they last, how they go and how they ride are the main factors besides price that let me buy the re-fuse over and over again.

every one rides different, different rider weight and ability, hell even gearing and so i think, one may well find a better suitable product elsewhere.

most tyres i rode, i found to be good tyres - beside that sickness of a tyre called hardshell (and hippy be my witness, i like contis usually). mostly however, they didn't stand up to the level of abuse, i subjected them.
for a long time i rode supersport plus at the back. reasonable cheap and plenty of material to go through for some fun. i essentially switched to maxxis even though they cost more, because they last me longer, twice as long, on occasion thrice. so between 2 to 3 months from barely 4 weeks before on most other contenders.

then there are the ones that ride horrible, slip suddenly in the wet, roll like a tractor tyre or don't come in my preferred 23c size (i tried 25c enough times don't worry, all else though: no chance)

re: schwalbe durano

lasted 3 weeks - too soft and too little tread on them
good grip, very decent in the wet as well

the durano skid:

just over a week. confronted schwalbe, got 2(!) new ones in the mail and a letter stating something went astray in their early batch compound mixture. both free samples worked hard up to around 4 weeks but felt sketchy in the wet.

hell i found good things about botraeger and armadillos but none stood out like this dam' re-fuse. i developed an extensive collection of tyre failures on most models and peeling rubber is my main problem with most. when skidding and tyre gets rather hot on the skidpatch and sometimes (often, meh) the tread stuck to the road right where i stopped.

i call for more samples to be tested under the bluequinn condition.

@dammit: i am very keen to get hold of The One tyre from schwalbe. tubeless for the front could be the ticket to bliss if it grips as good as their marketing speak.

hi there,

i thought about further anonymising my internet usage a lot lately and once through the content of this very thread, decided to upgrade (rather actually establish) an actual anonymisation layer in my network services.

the onionPi seems perfect for it. few things are unclear though and due to my limited understanding wasn't able to figure it out yet.

can (and should) i run the onionPi over my opneVPN conncetion?

if so, can i incorporate the openVPN conncetion handling into one onionPi as a (simple?) configuration jobby?

could this one so configured onionPi handle a usb to ethernet adapter in addition to wifi to allow my hardwired desktop to participate? you mentioned performance concerns and i don't know much about SBC's and their limitations.

or would i be advised to actually run two Pi's, one for openVPN the next one for Tor
or if it can handle Tor and openVPN in one but not wifi and ethernet,
one Pi for wifi and the other for ethernet?

do i make any sense?

thanks for clearifying

digging, i found bandwith for openVPN on the RPI to be alleged around 8 mbit/s

openVPN on that little gadget here:
http://n0where.net/openvpn-raspberry-pi/

just found this:
http://learn.adafruit.com/onion-pi/overview

and like it. now, having trouble figuring if this can be combined/configured to play nice with my openVPN service of choice https://blog.ipredator.se/

any thoughts from the professionally enlightened?
