Another classic steel frame given new life. Late 90’s Spez Rockhopper running 700’s and drum brakes. Hell we could chuck in some 650b’s and call it a gravel bike.

“k‘s” TLR(tube-less ready) rims

このリム、ここ何年かマウンテン バイク用のリムとしてちょうど手頃な製品となっています。

比較的安価で、大抵の場合、必要充分な仕様を満たしているからの様です。

TNi ED30は問屋さんブランドで流通している仕様で、色は黒、ニップル孔が32のみですが、直径は3種類あってあり���たいです。

アルミ合金製のリムとしては、幅が広いわりに重過ぎず、絶妙な感じがします。

因みに今回は29erで530gと545g。

個人的に特に気に入っているのは26インチ用で、プレイ バイク類にはとても都合が良い仕様だと思っています（これで36孔のポリッシュがあれば完璧なんですが…）。

・あとは同じTL-29の仲間で、非対称形のTL-29RUも流通してほしいけど今の国内需要では難しいかなぁ…と思っていたところ、

米式バルブ(Schrader valves)仕様ですが、こちらも色は黒、32孔のみ、全サイズの取り扱いができる事になりました。

26インチではプレイ バイク系の需要が中心になる為、非対称の断面形状がそれ程大したメリットにはならないかもしれないですが、多段変速でフランジ幅の圧迫をされる後輪では大切な要素となります。

・非対称形といえば、このTL-23Rも手に入るといいなぁ…と思っていたら、

仏式バルブ(French valves)仕様で黒、28と32孔、大きさは27.5インチ(650b)と29er(700c)が取り扱い可能になりました。

元々の想定市場であるマウンテン バイクに対してよりは、各仕様がちょうど今時のロード、CXバイクなど、どちらかというと、ライザー バーよりはドロップ バーの付いた車体に向いている様な仕様だと思います。

レース用タイヤを取り付けた時の実際のタイヤ幅を考慮すると、特に競技用CXにも良さげです。

実際、少し前のロード用リム、XR-22RT(S)と比べると、基本設計がリム ブレーキの制約から解放された分、ほぼ同等の重量で断面積が大きくなり、幅広になってモダンなタイヤと合わせやすくなりました。

また、同程度の断面積のリムとしては実測重量で500gを超える事が多い、XR-31RT(S)などと比べると、幅の拡大だけでなく、より軽くもあります。

・最後はちょっとゴツいリムで、グラベル系バイク用に企画された製品らしい、RD-3FTも手に入る事になりました。

仏式バルブ(French valves)仕様で、色は黒、28孔のみ、大きさは27.5インチ(650b)と29er(700c)が取り扱い開始です。

同等重量、用途の他社製品と比較すると断面積が大きく、重さの割にリム自体の剛性は高くなります。

カーボン製リムの場合は形状や材料などの選択肢が多い為、金属製リムと比べると、より自由な車輪のデザインがしやすいですが、アルミ合金でも扱えるリムの種類が増えれば同様にデザインの自由度が高くなり、より個々のサイクリストの要求条件に対して最適化がしやすくなります。

これらの新たに入手が可能になったリムのおかげで、比較的低予算であっても少しでもご希望に近付けられる車輪作りに繋がる様に期待しています。

MAKEOVER WiND56

Jan Willem en zijn Special Allroader hebben al de nodige fietsvakantieavonturen beleefd. De fiets bevalt nog steeds erg goed, maar Jan Willem wilde voor zijn nieuwe avonturen graag met dikkere banden kunnen rijden. In de voorvork was daarvoor al extra ruimte, maar het originele frame had ruimte voor banden tot 40-45mm (in combinatie met dubbel crankstel). Omdat Jan Willem standaard met een klein enkel voorblad rijdt waren in het chainstay-bereik nog wel wat mogelijkheden om extra ruimte te scheppen voor de banden. Dus tijd voor een makeover!

Na verwijderen van de oude achterkant heb ik nieuwe (S-bend) chainstays geplaatst icm de nieuwe standaard dropouts voor steekas x flatmount. Met de beoogde wielen, banden en crankstel erbij tijdens de bouw heb ik eea getuned voor deze setup en daarna afgemaakt met een paar S-bend seatstays. Het resultaat: ruimte voor 55mm banden op standaard 28 inch wielen en zelfs tot 60mm (2.4 inch) met noppen op een 27.5 inch (650b) wiel (zie foto's). Flinke winst dus!

Met een verse WiND-poedercoat in glanzend oceaanblauw (in het echt wat groener dan op de foto) is WiND56-II klaar voor nieuwe avonturen!

We don't have it because it would save us $650B/year. Us not paying that much means that much isn't going into the healthcare industry. They want it to cost us more and more and more, because it's about profit not healthcare.

We need to end lobbyism as we know it. Corporate bribery is the worst way to provide a human right like health care.

Sad that $800 million/year in bribes costs us 650 billion/year in savings.

The Emerging Hub of Opportunities in the UAE- Dubai South

Historic Background

Dubai beginning has been humble, and the vision has been great. Region New and modern Dubai has been constantly shifting towards the South. Region with a small population of 20k became home to 1M residents in just 50 years and currently to 3.8M. Dubai started its development journey from the old Dubai which includes Diera, Bur Dubai, Gold Souq, Kamara, Rashadiya, Nahada etc. The area developed first because of its proximity to the port, airport and most importantly it was strategically located from other emirates like Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Al Ain. The connection with capital Abu Dhabi, which is also the richest and largest emirate, was bound to happen as this was the only direction Dubai wanted to expand with growing road and infrastructure. Since then, center Dubai has been Constantly moving South.

With the dawn of 20th century in 2002, Dubai opened its arms to the world. The government decided to allow people of all nationalities to own properties here and thereafter has been a magnet to the world. Every 10 years Dubai saw an addition of 1M residents embracing diversity and innovation, making it not only a city but a symbol of ambition and possibility. Today it is a thriving metropolis of 3.8M residents and one of the top 5 most visited cities in the world.

Vision

The roots of this Dubai can be traced back to the vision of His highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Mohammad bin Rashid AL Maktoum, the Vice president & Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Recognizing the limitations of Dubai’s existing infrastructure and the need for long-term planning, sheikh Mohammed envisioned a master-planned city that would serve as a catalyst for economy growth and development. Even before 2002 they realized that Dubai has taken off and will achieve great heights. In 2004 the New Dubai was envisioned. A Dubai will be modern, innovative in approach and will offer everything that its residents and visitors need. And hence this NEW Dubai on the south was planned.

Why is SOUTH the priority?

The government of Dubai has already spent more than 200 billion USD which is more than half a trillion dirhams in developing the required infrastructure and the trade zones in this area. Total investment from Pvt. and Government Players is more than 500B USD. To achieve the goals mentioned in agenda D33 the government has committed more infrastructure development funds to make this new Dubai a huge success. Economic Agenda D33 Dubai is on track of seeing Doubling the economy from 1.6 trillion to 3.2 trillion in the next 9 years, Doubling the FDI from 320B to 650B to raise the govt. expenditure from 512B to 700B. 400 new cities are Planned to be added to Dubai’s commercial map.

D33 encompasses a new 8.7 trillion USD roadmap for the emirate to double its foreign trade and emerge as the world's fourth most prominent financial center behind New York, London, and Singapore by 2033 when Dubai will mark 200 years since its founding.

2023 Destination Dubai report which showed that 66% of global HNWI are eyeing up second-home purchases in the city. In addition, Dubai is one of the world’s most connected cities.

Major Communities:

More communities like Emaar South a golfing paradise in the making, Oasis by Emaar a high end community with lagoon and greenery, Dubai South a mixed use development, The Heights by Emaar an affordable family residential community with wellness as the concept, Luxury Polo Resorts Club by Emaar , luxury Mansion and Villa community which Emaar will soon announce, , Expo City an advanced sustainable city of innovation, Riverside by DAMAC and some projects by smaller private developers have recently been launched. We will discuss some of them in the latter half of the video.

Conclusion

In Dubai people invest in the direction of the government. This opportunity has left a lot up for grabs for the investors of all segments. You buy an apartment, townhouse, Villa or a mansion, everything will have a demand as you are living in the heart of the new economic hub, which is growing so fast, and you can smell positivity in the air.

Can't believe it's been three years since I got this bike. It's still the only modern (read: brifters and disc brakes) bike I've owned and I'm obsessed with it. When I got this 2013 Soma Doublecross Disc from its previous owner it was set up in a kind of middle-of-the-road commuter sort of way with a narrow gear range, skinny slick tires, etc. I made a few changes: a 40-tooth cassette, SRAM mountain bike rear derailleur and Wolf Tooth roadlink coupled to a 50-34 double crank up front. It's a smooth setup that gives a decently wide gear range for various terrains.

I burnt the wheels that came with the bike out (old hubs plus winter snow riding plus lack of maintenance on my part; lesson learned) but found an insane deal on some Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels. One of the upsides to everyone going through-axle and XD is that wheels not built to those standards are getting much cheaper. I baby these wheels -- used only on road rides -- so I also snagged a very inexpensive set of 650b wheels with DT Swiss rims and spokes and trusty Shimano Deore hubs for daily commutes and rougher riding. With the smaller 650b wheels, I can fit 48 mm tires on this thing. With 700s, I've fit the smaller size 42 mm Bruce Gordon Rock and Roads on easily.

I recently finished off the bike with red Newbaum's bartape treated with clear shellac. I also scored this used Brooks Colt saddle. I like it a lot. It's somewhere between a classic Brooks and an 80s road saddle like the beat up Sella San Marco Concor I had on there before.

This is my primary transportation and it works fantastic for that. It can also handle everything from centuries to single track very well. I've clocked 50-mile rides in less than two and a half hours and crazy nighttime group rides through off-the-grid mountain bike trails.

Investing money in a bike before this was extremely foreign to me. But with some patience, value shopping and help from my local bike co-op, I was able to set all this up for less than what you'd spend on say, a stock All City or Surly complete bike.

I really feel like the Doublecross is a modern classic. If you run across one of these used in your size, you should snap it up.
