Elastomers Are Back? SRAM Patents 'ButterCups For Shocks'
@mior: sorry,.... it won't happen again

its actually a good idea. Motor vehicle suspension has rubber bushes to dampen NVH

I see they are also patenting radial spokes lacing for disc brake wheels. This must require some really trick carbon layups

you're getting far to complicated here. I just patented an idea for an infinitely long pneumatic cylinder that wraps around an infinitely long carbon fibre or metal carrier. These two components are attached to a transverse central cylinder that rotates and when combined with the longitudinal cylinders via thin rods of any tensile material, provides a renewable traction surface. Because the cylinders are filled with another patent of mine called ArNO, the amount of elasticity is also infinitely variable via something I'm called a ArNO Mass-Turbator due to the turbulent flow that allows the infinite variability.
I hope it will catch on. My savings depends on it

British Cycling Faces Criticism of New Partnership with Shell
@vinay: no worries, sustainable is a swear word. Wind and solar are not sustainable either because the wind doesn’t blow everyday and the sun light hours and intensity is not the same everyday. The narrative of nett zero is alarmist and unrealistic. It’s just another Ponzi scheme to attract investment

@slowmoe: we’ll that’s not true since the VOC Maarschapij was trading oil out of Indonesia and Philippines in the 1600’s. The first bicycles were made of wood, metal bikes followed after oil was invented since they need very hot flames to join the metal pipes. Gas welding is a relatively recent invention and again it is oil and gas that allowed that to haopen. So the improvement in bulk cycle manufacture was enabled by oom and gas, funny enough almost all industries improved in efficiency when this fossil based energy became available and was cheaper and less restrictive to handle than whale oil or other vegetable oils that were difficult to work with in winter.

Biofuels have similar direct emissions as fossil fuels but allegedly less well to wheels carbon intensity , which currently is utter bs.
Even green hydrogen is a thermodynamic fallacy. However Shell started in the shipping business over a century ago as Shell Reading and Transport company. It later earned a contract to transport oil from the Philippines for royal Dutch oil company. The two later merged. She’ll comes from a greenish history becssue they operated sailing ships till these were replaced by coal powers steamers and then fuel oil powered steam turbine tankers. This business of moving oil around the world made whale oil redundant and booom the whale population rebounded.

Why should we doing everything in our power to move away from it? An entire civilisation has been built on it. To displace it requires some revolution and a lot of evolution. Even if we replace all fossil power generation units with nuclear we still need fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals for polymers , processes etc . We are the problem , there is simply too many humans on the planet. We have. It had a proper war or plague to wipe us out for quite a long time and we have multiplied geometrically in that time.
