It's a form of bored terrorism to say a thread has NSWF spoilers when it clearly doesn't.

I'd still have a Tesla S, because it's a bodacious piece of kit. :) to be fair it does look stunning, much kudos for the styling :thumbup: shame about the 7,000 odd laptop batteries that form the battery pack x( I'd wait until independent tests are conducted before committing, in fact I'd wait unti...

And they are very well made watches.

Absolutely, one of the great brands.

Yes, I wear a cheap Seiko....

Seikos are more expensive than most of the watches posted so far.

FA, that has the potential to come across as paranoia. I doubt the main objective of anyone in the world is to change your lifestyle.

If it's a work in progress then they might just be trying to protect their intellectual property. There are obviously interested investors as Joule have raised over US$100 million in investment. The advisory team they have certainly aren't morons and would unlikely want to be associated with a comp...

Lastly we know fudge all about Joule Unlimited's process as far as I can see. All we have to rely on is their marketing bumf, which I treat with as much skepticism as the marketing bumf of an electric car company or a nuclear power company until their claims are examined. This is the correct answer...

The only 'problem' I have with this technology is that according to the few academic research papers available online, it appears to be considerably less efficient as a storage medium than batteries, while batteries are becoming more efficient all the time as a consequence of pressure form the consu...

Steel is more flexible than aluminium so more comfortable as it absorbs bumps better (or at least, that's the idea). I think aluminium is less durable as well. On the other hand, aluminium is lighter and stiffer, which is better for out-and-out performance (and of course, carbon is lighter and stif...

But seriously, I thought I killed this on the old bored. The energy efficiency is pants. Why use electricity to compress air when you can feed it directly into the battery? And what happens when you try to compress air? It heats up! So you also need a big refrigerator to counteract that. And lots o...

I can just see Rutger Hauer in the role of Fat Albert.

Really Groucho sorry to hear. Have to say youre the first Pinarello owner I know who doesnt like it. Oh I liked it! It was a lovely bike, but I just didn't like the cheap Sora gears and other cycle parts. Faced with upgrading the gears, forks and brakes, or buying a higher spec bike, I went for the...

During the RWC. I though this was a nest of trolls, though.

It was after seeing yours that I brought a Pinarello Treviso, HKCJ, but I was disappointed. The cycle gear wasn't wonderful, and after considering the cost of upgrades I brought I Giant instead.

I have some real photos but no idea how to upload them.

That's very nice rosterq. Road tires on mountain bike frames were the start of the whole flat bar movement.

I just realised those retailers charge as much again in postage from the USA. You can do better that that.

That's a nice bike, but there are too many spokes in the wheels. I just had to buy a new Ultegra chain for my Giant Cross City 1, after it was submerged in salt water when a wave washed me off a coast path. :( I think I'll be upgrading the wheels at some point. The Boardman's are pretty good bikes ...
