Re: Tour Divide 2025
Now you have said that the angry orange one and his gun totting, god fearing, science, and fact, hating peddlars of race hate wont let you in.
So sad.
Never wanted to go much either. Would rather see a culture totally alien to ours and that rules out the USA.

Re: Retrogrouching (new XTR content)
No to internal routing. I dont bother using it myself. Just means you cannot take your brakes or mech of ( or forks on road bikes ) and aesthetically I can only see the bars and the front wheel.

Re: Hydrodynamicists! piss bottle slosh reduction?
I know fuel tanks use foam to stop fuel sloshing about but you would then, presumably need a straw or some serious sucking to extract all the water.

Re: Son to sinewave wiring tips
I bought these and then just used the actual.connections (.not the plugs ) which can be crimped on to your wire and then covered with shrink wrap. They just push toether and give a tight connection. One worked loose* when pushed together after about 2 years but a gentle bend of it made it firm again...

Re: Best bikepacking bike?
Really depends on what you want( it for terrain wise) a rigid or a suspension bike .
No one bike is the best for all scenarios.
I own 3 sonders including a broken road , never had an issue with any of them.

Re: Stoves and dry ground…
In most cases, it can take as little as one month, perfect, right? Well, in the wrong conditions it could take anywhere in between one and three years for it to fully decompose. And in the wrong conditions your poo.would still take longer than the paper. The claim is toilet paper decomposes faster ...
