Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum
Maybe, I switched to wax and now my chainrings don't wear. Absolute Black wax/lube and ti coated ring. I can put a brand new chain on a ring that's a few years old, runs smooth as new. I also run my chains (XX1) for what I'd estimate to be 300 hours. The lube isn't cheap but it lasts long enough one bottle will last many years.

Thank You For Everything, Pinkbike
Good Luck Alicia. On the injury, don't give up! A friend of mine sustained a TBI from an auto accident about 8 years ago, he's around 50 years old, it was really bad. The first few years he wasn't himself, he had a lot of symptoms. Then all of a sudden he got halfway better, plateaued for a while, and then made another near overnight improvement and is now normal or close to it. It seems like some injuries are like that, even my torn supraspinatus was weak for 18 months, then made a full recovery in the next month, and I almost gave up on PT. I hope you get back to normal quickly.

E-Bike Battery Fires - Should You Be Worried?
Have you ever tried to buy Li battery cells? It's nearly impossible to find genuine ones, it seems like 99% of the market is counterfeit "name brand" cells. Combine that with similarly low-quality chargers and yeah, you have a massive fire risk. There's TONS of small volume shady ebike companies that may be using below-spec cells and chargers.

Burning Question: Where Do Wheel Component Manufacturers Stand on Tire Inserts?
@MrDuck: You seem to have A LOT invested in this and you're getting really angry. I hope I'm not costing you money, people are probably reading this and having 2nd thoughts about using inserts. I'm not going to take any more time to reply to complete idiots who think doing high school level work building wheels somehow gives them special insight into this subject.

Burning Question: Where Do Wheel Component Manufacturers Stand on Tire Inserts?
@MrDuck: Lol. Mechanics are not engineers. Building wheels does not require any knowledge of rim design nor does it give you any sort of insight into the interactions between an insert and a rim. Rim mfg'ers don't want to make claims that will damage another business for obvious reasons. I specifically asked WR1 about this issue myself. If you consider what asking the question in the first place implies and then read the rim mfg'er answers, it's quite clear what I'm saying is in fact the truth.
