I dont get it. I read the article and your outcry and following text seem unrelated past the title of the article. Did you read it? Article headlines tend to be outrageous compared to more sensible content to lure readers into reading it.

Yeah sorry, used the wrong word.
Anyway. I foresee a lot more strikes in the near future and hopefully actual advances on the ground. No use for further aerial bombings soon. France just bombed a chicken farm yesterday for goodness sake.

I have a hard time understanding the strategy of such attacks. It feels like becoming a stable caliphate would be desired. It seems like they want to accomplice as much as possible before being bombed to heaven comes.

Like 9/11 put us in Iraq/Afghanistan, but was totally staged by us, this puts nato in Syria, so the USA can take Assad out of power, our ultimate goal. Russia won't have none of that. Hello ww3. No disrespect to any lives lost, I just saw this coming a long time ago.
Nato or the coalition would never attack Assad straight on, especially now after Iran and Russia sided with Assad. If anything Assad will be the key to bring ISIS down.

Might change the public opinion on direct action, perhaps it will result in politicians opting for attacking ISIS harder.
The major effect I foresee is that the situation in Syria and Iraq will worsen which will obviously lead to greater misery for the local population. The public opinion and view of the refugees will most probably also worsen, leading to greater misery for the ones that decided to flee. All in all just worse situation for people already in a bad situation.
So rather pointless action taken by ISIS (if it now was just them) which only hurt local population.
Hopefully more countries than Iran will opt to put some boots on the ground. Highly doubt the cost-effectivity and military point in further airstrikes. Seem to only level cities with million dollar bombs without much effect anyway.

I investigated it a while ago, cant remember what I found out. There is information to be found though, google around.
I think I asked Pat from Flatlandfuel, he knew. I think that the 28mm CG model has terrible tyre clearence due to low crown.

Definately harder, but might be more interesting with a bowl-type setup, so you can carve a bit instead of just going up a straight quater and hit the ceiling.

« on: October 16, 2015, 06:34:31 AM »Goose sound isn't necessarily the pad, more often it's the brake arm oscillating on the post due to worn bushings or a loose fit to begin with
Really? I try to not use my brakes since they sound like air raid alarms. Would it be a good idea to put grease or copper paste on the brake lugs?

I saw that pedal on Vicki's bike. Its so nice! It is however also super expensive and have little practical use outside of flatland, so yeah, very small market.
