Re: What are you reading now?
One of the very few books i have re read and i actually own a copyZen and the Art is possibly my favourite book. I've read it a couple of times, but it's been a few years and I suspect I could learn from it once more.
Really enjoyed it every time i have read and may re read it again.

Re: New (carbon?) wheels
Remember 10+ years ago we were all putting 2.3 tyres mtb tyres on 19 mm internal width rims perhaps even a 2.5. My SS still does with 26 ers
I ride 3 " tyres on 30 mm internal and a 38 mm on a 19 mm ( road) IMHO its just the current trend ( go wider) rather than it really matters

Re: New (carbon?) wheels
My choice would be DT Swiss hubs the ratchet is quieter( near silent) than the pawls.( not a hope but can be heard). I dont like the noisy freewheels /Hope types. Alloy rims but i am 63 kg and dont break them. Carbon just seem more expensive for limited gain. I build my own wheels so not loyal to an...

Re: Wheelset choice
What wheelset?
I have a Prime Baroudeur Disc Rear( Wiggle) about 2 months old running a 38 mm tubeless without issue. Freewheel ia not the quickest to pick up but its fine. Not overly noisy nor is it silent.

Pricey though and lightweight would be better as otherwise I think it will be too warm ( esp for summer storms)

Not really sure nimby helps the the debate( why not convince them its a good idea which will be considerably harder than using a pithy label for objecting ) and I don't know of anyone or community volunteering for the waste to be buried where they live. Saying the waste is " vanishingly small&q...

When you have your storage solution for the waste material we can discuss nukes ( not to mention the colossal concrete costs.) it's at least 10000 years of safe storage we require with no solution so far.. Burying it is likely to be required but who is volunteering. for that in their area. Nukes are...

Depends how long it is before we start trying to save things ( all of us having something worth saving even if it's just yourself)Like I said earlier ... how long before there's nothing worth saving?
We won't reach a point where humanity collectively throws in the towel and we all go to dignitas.

In the future cars and heating are going to be electric so that reduction is going to happen. Green renewable energy is the only solution and it's going to be built where it's generally windy.
