NO RX INSERTS, NO CARE

also usually only available up to +-3/4, rx inserts usually go to +-6

one scratch and your very expensive prescription lenses are ruined, rx inserts are protected and you can use different lenses.

adidas used to, dunno if the new ones still have the feature. evil-eye (ex adidas) do, as do rudy project, julbo, bollé, swisseye, cébé, progear. at least thats the ones i‘m aware of. fun fact: the chinese copycats that produce the fake poc, oakley etc glasses all make them with rx inserts. the copy has here more usefulness than the original ;)

@cam: can we please introduce criticism when riding glasses are designed without rx clip-ins? it pisses me off that so many manufacturers don’t cater to people needing prescriptions. not everyone can wear contacts.

no bicycle set torque 1 review? son, i am disappoint.

Retirement may seem like a quaint notion with all that is going on, but having the means to prepare and protect yourself from that collapse will like cost just as much.  We can't all fit in RM's bunker.  

I would take stories like this with a grain of salt though.  The graphs always have smooth lines and almost never accurately predict disruptions.

One of the things that I'm holding some hope for is new or advancing tech of some sort being able to make a huge dent in this issue. Considering how fast/far tech has advanced in the past 60yrs or so, there could be something develop in the next 30 years that we can't even imagine today. I wouldn't bank on it, but I think the possibility exists.

The one thing that we need on a humanity scale is a change in the way we view our existence. This includes our interactions with the planet and each other. Right now, modern society en large is completely disconnected from the repercussions of it's actions. Sure some people think about it now and then and a few might have a protest or two, but in general our day to day actions have no consideration for anyone but ourselves or anything but our pocketbooks. For example my idea of not accumulating new plastics in pretty much any form is looking pretty dismal. I can accept purchases where plastic in an integral part of the product on something like the new mitre saw I purchased recently, but the amount of unnecessary plastics when it comes to packaging is abysmal, notably with grocery/food purchases. I'm trying to bring my own plastic containers for certain things and you get some weird looks from people as well as the "but you'll have to pay more using that container" type of comments. I've responded with I'd rather pay the extra 5¢ than create more garbage. The look on peoples' faces says that makes sense, but it also say they DGAF and couldn't be bothered with dealing of the inconvenience of bringing their own container/bag to the store. To me this represents the type of disconnected thinking we need to break free from if we don't want to eat ourselves out of home.

tech usually needs 40 years to enter markets…

I am starting to think that solar geoengineering might not be such a bad idea.  Even if we were carbon neutral tomorrow and changed how we grow food and replant forests, there is theoretically a 40 years lag before the climate will stabilize at that level.  Since we are not doing that we can easily add 20 years, so 60 more years of warming beyond what we see today.  That is an Earth very different than the one we live on.  The only option would be to counter it somehow.  Thoughts?

What do we do with the old panels after they've expired? Similar to electric car batteries past their shelf life - we don't have a good means to recycle them.

the usual bullshit from you, etablished recycling plants recycle around 80%, new ones in germany even 90%:

Nice.

I have some cushcore gravel inserts for my new build. If they. Provide the same transformation of comfort as on my hardtail I’ll be very happy. I’ll just run rear to start. So much gravel comfort is about isolating buzz (assuming g your position is good) - the nature of being seated for long periods with no suspension makes all the high frequency stuff the worst.

As has been said above, 2x just makes so much sense, and a well set up drivetrain will rarely drop a chain. The new clutch style 2x set ups are even more reliable.

just ride 650b wheels…

I just went over there to see what the forum was saying about the acquisition and man, their forum is huge. I didn't even know where to look.  I haven't been there since I defected to NSMB in 2003 or 2004 or something.

I remember someone complaining back then saying the forums were getting too many users. Someone said something like "It used to be like a rec room and you'd know everyone in there. Now there are so many people".

Re: mtb being a fringe sport. I remember reading a Bike piece from the 90s that said "You used to know who was out riding by the tire tread patterns you'd see on the trail". I don't know if that was ever the case for me, but I remember reading it. Was probably in The Grimey Handshake column or something. Or maybe something Zapata Espinoza wrote. Who knows.

Oh yea, and get off my lawn!

a huge forum with a software even worse than here

yes, yes and yes

considering prices, they are going up as everything next year, best bang for the buck will the the revolt advanced pro 1 if you are into electric shifting…

currently on a bombrack ext-c 1st gen with 650b wheels. gonna switch to the new revolt as soon as it is available (could take a while)
