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.

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.

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.

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.
