I do a lot of work myself too, but there are things I go to the LBS for help. Either it requires a very specialized tool or I am too weak to remove/install some parts

Aren't they like $50 each?

Doesn't that mean you are running run0 as root though?

I remember Cade Media not recommending single wheel trailer for it is quite unstable 😅

Huh, I bought wahoo because I specifically know that I could access the .fit files and upload routes via MTP. But I have to customize the layouts via the APP... Does Garmin also allow an MTP connection with a computer?

450 for a helmet? Doesn't make sense if there are way cheaper but just as safe options...

Thanks for your perspective on the admin and overhead cost on charities, I clearly does not know as much in the area.

The main concern I have with WBR, from the information provided in the article, is that there are already cheaper bikes (Black Mamba) and LBS in those areas. W/ Black Mamba I am not sure what the Buffalo is gonna solve. The LBS' perspective is quite interesting, that WBR wants to build their own "ecosystem" for Buffalo bike repairs and exclude the LBS. It is just weird how they operate.

I have no doubt the S2 is a good bike for its role, but there are a lot more nuance to WBR's projects in Africa...

Bikepacking on the Buffalo Bicycle

Nice read about a trip on the buffalo bicycle (which was posted about here some time ago), with an interesting view on the "world bicycle relief".

Well a motor can provide instant torque at stand still, but an engine would have way lower power at low RPM and the transmission is inefficient when starting
