Carburetor cleaner can remove all sorts of stuff. I'd try it on a test portion of "thing." Also, why is denatured alcohol prohibited in LA?

If you end up in Eugene, drop me a line. I'm about 30 miles south of town. We've got acreage you're welcome to camp on (or a barn/hayloft to sleep...

Thanks for posting this. I somehow missed it on the WaPo website (though I do see it now, after expressly looking for it)

Conclusion: 140-mm rotors are a bad idea for most people? Area = Pi * (ro2 * ri2) Heat transfer = h * Area * (Trotor - Tambient) Where T...

Eugene has my attention to be honest. Not huge. Not tiny. Just the right size I think.

You should try the Twizzers, binder bolt & the thing underneath...

Thanks!

I'm the dork who would appreciate VeloLavers. I love Adidas indoor soccer shoes, but need more ventilation for cycling.

Point 1- I'm not sure what you're talking about a fondness for "rights." OP is saying he feels oppressed in the US, and wishes to move. Oppression...

I've mostly had good experiences renting on airbnb, even the time I just rented a room. My general experience has been that you get what you pay for,...

that tracks with what i'm seeing at my local shop (Trek/Spesh/Ibis). most of what they have is ebikes right now. good luck!

Investigations into the congressional "tour guides" are opening now as well. Truly wild to watch it play out.

I have used air bnb a number of times of the past 6 or so years (London, Paris, Austin, SF, LA, Portland, PEC). All experiences and places have been...

Which shoes. I'm currently rotating through 4-5 generations of S-Works (depending on how one defines a generation) and all of them have bidirectional...

Velosamba recess from Adidas website:

Your canvas is the frame so I would say DT graphic, HT graphic, etc.

Have you tried pulling up on the knob? (out, away from the shoe) That's how you release the tension on my Boas.

I think a month in the PNW sounds amazing. May can be spectacular (June is often called June'uary), and word is that this spring is going to be...

That was the old Martha Stewart trick. Her new one is... https://www.marthastewart.com/1542373/martha-stewart-how-to-remove-sticky-labels-stickers ...

People pay for flights? Huh...? Learn something new every day! Anyway, I kind of expect to drive if this happens. But a potential conflict for...

Ditto these comments, as I’ve had great experiences and others where I asked myself, “why am I here?”. I’d try the PNW when the weather breaks, as...

Or bicycle riders. Everybody's whacked their levers and then whacked them back in line. No way I'd design something rigid in a place like that if I...

Agreed. Also nonexistent. I think a lot of the "engineering" in the bicycle industry is done by people who are not engineers. I'd also like to know...

We got a new milling head for one of our CNCs that showed up broken in the crate. The transition between the motor and gearbox was made of cast...

I completed my MA this week. Now I wait until June for the virtual residency week in Vermont and then a virtual graduation. I will be taking up...

Airport operations in Antarctica...just like landing in February in DTW, right? ...

There are newer BOAs and other rotary dial adjusters that ratchet in either direction tighter/looser. Usually they are on the fancier shoes. ...

3T Rotundo to the rescue!

Yup. This is exactly what I'm thinking. I'll only do it if it's a whole unit, not shared with anyone. Preferably an apartment/condo or a cottage type...

I've used AirBnB countless times, both domestic and internationally. Unless I'm going on a work trip and the rest of the team is staying in the...

Avoid this design like the plague! Or like we used to avoid plagues. A round clamp on a round section is like a mechanical fuse that will...

so many ways to look at the same thing. I'm decently fit and my engine is growing.

Thanks Peter. What I neglected to mention is that there are multiples of this thing. Many . . . many of them. (my bad) The moist heat does...

I talked to my local Ibis dealer yesterday, and they said to get on the list and maybe I'd get one by the end of the summer.

Definitely. MVdP isn't just some guy. He's one of the more high profile riders around and this was on TV. Bad stuff for Canyon and propriety...

I'm not super impressed. Maybe it's just the model I have, but if I want to loosen the shoe, I have to completely undo the dial and tighten my way...

Absolute nightmare for marketing.

the recess looks pretty good...i will throw some cleats on today...the sole is pretty stiff!

There's a big male pileated woodpecker excavating a nesting cavity high up in one of the poplars at the back of my lot just across the property line...

Woo! Let us know how they are on the bike. How recessed are the cleats once mounted? I am underwhelmed by my current Giro “casual” bike shoes,...

As an aside, my LBS (2) stores has just signed contracts to sell Rapha goods as an official partner in the UK.......which is a new slant, as both...

Peak Torque, an engineer and cyclist w a youtube channel, has an informative review of potential issues with shifter clamp designs including the new...

So apparently where the shifter mounts, the bars are not circular in section they are somewhat of a square shape, which means a proprietary clamp...

Take an appropriate sized towel and soak it in water. Wring out the excess. Put it in the microwave to get it silly-hot. Remove it from the...

Well, seeing how VAT is an extremely regressive tax regime and the great lengths the wealthy go in Europe to hide wealth via off-shore structures,...

Merlin are amazing, truly top shelf.

If a transaction is done off the till, then it's outside of the framework. No free lunch. I think that's a universal concept. As for the US, I'd...

I agree somewhat with both of you here. The "intent" is certainly in the regulatory framework in Europe, but after 14 years I'm still amazed at how...
