What is the point of life if we are going to die anyway?

You have created so many beautiful bikes that people will always remember from this place. If they see a Hulsroy in the wild they will remember this thread, when they see a catalogue bike that needs some BDHU they will think of this place. The list goes on.

I vote for several more epic bike builds before the switch is turned off.

So sad to hear that Hayley has passed away. What a tragic loss at such a young age.
Thank you for all the good laughs in here Hayley. I am sorry we never met in person, and I will keep your stickers on my bike and remember you when I go riding. Rest in peace

Ibis silk ride in the back, truss or mini lauf fork in the front

I’m glad they didn’t succeed or bring electric tools. An angle grinder would cut through those 5 bars on the door in less than 2 minutes. 😓

Thank you for the link

I suggest watching 20 days in Mariupol to see the effect of Putins decisions instead.

Rep

That is very nice!

I put a small bolt through the hole in the blade that is inside the frame to prevent it sawing into the frame tube.

Very clever! I am stealing this hack

Yeah I know that this is the narrative that is being pushed (especially) by the Washington post.
I am fully aware of the strategy applied, where we send them our old stuff in exchange for new stock for us, and also the time it takes to ramp up production.
However, there very large stocks sitting in the US desert. The marines for example turned in 400 abrams that didn’t have the upgraded armor and could be sent immediately.
There are also hundreds of m113 that are written off and are being scrapped because it was cheaper than to store. But they would cost next to nothing to send.

There’s the logistics and fuel blah blah but we could have been training soldiers for more than a year by now.

I don’t really have words for the current situation. Why has the west stopped delivering weapons and systems to Ukraine?
I thought the tanks would just be the beginning and hundreds of tanks would follow. Same for F-16, but after the initial donation, nothing. Same for m113, Bradley etc.

All I want for Christmas is 300 abrams, 500 Bradley’s, 1000 m113, 1000 humvees, a million shells and 200 scalp missiles for Ukraine. Ammo can be my sock filler

If we had the option of getting the gas we would very likely have taken it with one hand while pointing fingers at Putin with the other. “We” being Denmark and our southern neighbor.

Now that we were forced to look to other dictatorships for gas, we did, and cut energy ties with Russia.

There would never have been enough courage by politicians in the west to cut our gas dependency to Russia. So thank you Ukraine or whoever did it.

Who cares. We’re better off without it. Ukraine did us a favor

I love that you’re mads producing stuff now!

Split the crown race

I love my forekasters

This was me two years ago. I built a bike around a Salsa El Mariachi from 2014.
No dropper, not modern geometry, old fox fork, but I just love it. It’s perfect.

There is a xc trail near me that I often ride and I just go around those jumps that I assume are made for electric fullys. It’s also a great gravel bike.

Budget wise I think you can get a better deal by buying a complete bike. Hardtails with classic geo and no dropper routing can go for cheap because the market has moved on, so you can find great deals on a used Canyon, Trek, Scott etc.

hopes fault for making theirs look so ugly

I am 100% behind this statement. Same goes for their seatpost clamp imo

Just use a block of wood and a hammer. I did this to my Chris king after cutting the crown race.

I just cut my ck crown race with a hacksaw. It’s a closed industrial bearing anyway, so it doesn’t matter. People might disagree with me on that, but it works for me.

It’s almost too hot to handle
