5 Findings from Female Pros in the Pinkbike State of the Sport Survey
@sonuvagun: “where I'm from, a man should NEVER talk to a woman first“ but who do you think you are disrespecting? The man, or the woman? And why wouldn’t you talk to a woman first? What makes her worthy of needing a man to “screen” her interaction with another man? Genuinely interested, not just poking for a response. I’ve never heard of this before.

University Student Designs Oleo Shock With a Titanium Shaft
@englertracing: You are completely and utterly missing the point of this article. It isn’t Ohlins trying to sell you the next greatest shock that’s going to change the world. It’s showing off the work of some budding engineer who has achieved something good. You trying to rain on his parade by implying it’s not very modern or ground-breaking, makes you look like a complete and utter ass-hat. Have you made a damper unit in the last 8 months. I think not.

University Student Designs Oleo Shock With a Titanium Shaft
@englertracing: I can't decipher if this is some kind of attempt at humour, or you're having a dig at the designer for what you consider to be a "low tech" damper?? And for the record, Oleo struts were invented in 1915 for damping the recoil of machine guns. This type of damper has been hugely succesful over the years and is still the go-to on battle tanks, and aircraft landing gear. It's highly effective, and with minimal moving parts, hugely reliable. Something fox/rockhox etc,,,, could learn a lot from.

@lepigpen:
Ha ha ha, there's an amazing shortcut that's beeen around for a while, instead of RETURN SPACING and a bit of faffing to start a new line just use a . and then a capital letter. It's amazing, people magically understand that one sentnce has finished, and another has started. Don't mention it.

Tech Week 2023: Pole's New Vikkelä Ditches the Motor, Keeps the 190mm of Travel
There's plenty of cars with aluminium structures that are bonded together that are more than ten years old. (Lotus, Vauxhall VX220 etc,,) that have minimal problems, but only time will truly tell.
As for "tack welds" that would never work, once a welder has been near it, the entire frame will require heat treatment, which will destroy the adhesive.
