Trump will make a deal with Putin and 'fix' the situation in the Ukraine. He'll 'win' there too.

Sampling bias much?

PHEV works fine for us. Home charging from solar for in and around the city. So no emmisions there, which is nice. Hybrid for longer trips. Our Passat is more fuel efficient on hybrid than our small engined Cactus was, mind.

That against a background of costs as well. Pure EV family cars are out of our budget.

Seems fashionable to frame PHEVs unfortunately.

Edit. Most PHEVs I come across that are privately owned are being charged. The image has been skewed by company car riders who have little financial incentive to do so.

Namedropping

Thanks for posting that! Enjoyed reading it.

It's a 3T Forge ahead stem indeed, top cap came with it.

Yeah, had to repaint parts of the frame anyways. It's a bit ott but does feel right for that period :).

Roubaix suspension bikes were definitely an inspiration! The Rock Shox Paris-Roubaix forks were a variation on their Mag 20 or 21 forks but with a bit less travel iirc. This modded (chopped off canti bosses) SR fork is not as sophisticated but does the job and has a bit more travel. Geometry wise it came out spot on.

Had some fun repurposing this ratty frame into some kind of retro gravel bike.

With a modded 26" SR Suntour suspension fork.

Rear Campag brake fitted to the front brake bridge. Seemed stiff enough on the first test ride.

Wasn't this obvious?

Ukrainian military just landed in Crimea apparently... Not sure yet if they want to gain a foothold there or that it was a singular operation and they left again.

They are recovering territory and wearing down Russian reserves in the mean time. I Still believe they'll get a breakthrough at some point on the front line.

The Ukrainians sure aren't at the point they 'should just accept' some random borders on sovereign land the Russians declared!

Common sense would have it they want the grain deal back on track and not a bag with presents.

Nice one!

Does that rear wheel have some bites out of the rim edge?

Going by the uneven colouration on the crack surface the crack might have started a while ago.

Quite like that!

Mainstream #hhsrb.

Yeah, it was a weird day.

And what's Prigozhin to do in Belarus? Did het get a carte blanche from Putler to make a run for Kiev again?

They had over a year to plan and prepare for the destruction of the dam.

Oh please. Typical armchair overanalysis. Sat behind a screen with a ton of replays and camera angles, measuring the inches. Trying to find blame. Blame HAS to be found, innit? ./rant

It's a racing incident. It happens in a split second. John was unlucky. Something he confirms.

I believe the TRP levers were modded but there's no images of the hack unfortunately.

Yeah been running them for a few months now. Some play (little annoying kink in the pedalstroke) has developed due to the plastic spacers they provide for 68mm bb shells. Need to replace those with alloy ones.

The whole race was shambolic :/ . Made for show red flags, this carnival of a 'sport' keeps hitting new lows.

Good for Netflix I'm sure.

Plugin hybrids will run as a hybrid even when not charged (you'll get better mpg than on an ice car)

If you do charge it they'll become much more efficient though. We get great mpg on ours.
