  1. Supposedly they work ok and to a certain degree. I have talked to a guy who was surprised with his bmw branded one I haven’t felt like trying one out for two reasons. The concept of cooling through evaporation sounds very much like what happens naturally with sweat And I just don’t like adding another layer, when it’s that hot the fuss of having to put on another layer before setting off does not appeal to me.
  2. That looks amazing! Isn’t it even heavier than the bike you currently ponder selling for being too heavy?
  3. That’s fucking french!!! About 30 or something like that, way more where I left at home and a litt Less where I am now in the coast. Wearing jeans for the first time in a month
  4. Not enough content for a Ride Report, but took a little shortcut through some familiar farm access dirt roads, just enough to get my boots dusty
  5. No worries in Morocco, just stop at the first Inwi (which is the provider with absolutely best coverage nationwide) shop and you'll get a card with plenty of data and even some international calls to Europe for something like 10 or 15 Euros, cheaper than here. The dude will set it up, get paid in cash, no invoice, and you're away, no need for speaking languages or any complicated stuff. I wondered if I'd run out the next day as it seemed too easy and unofficial to me, but has worked flawlessly 4 times now using two different shops.
  6. From what I’ve seen a conversion is not something you can really trust over time, unless you actually change wheels for proper tubeless ones.
  7. Smart thing having it air tight, I assumed it was just mousse and was wondering what bike you had with tubeless tires
  8. I know nothing about fighting or joshua, but getting punched in the head might make one sort of confused sometimes
  9. What I meant is that I need my portuguese number working normally for getting work calls without being too disruptive of that, while at the same time having more data volume in Morocco than I can get with that portuguese connection, hence keeping the portuguese card and using a Moroccan one for mainly data. What you say about the garmin sounds right to me. I wouldn't bother getting anything like that for Portugal, and I think I won't either this time, will keep it simple like what I've been doing since after checking the gamin you mention they state a 6 hour battery life too? That's another thing I don't want to have on the handlebar, which is one more device and battery to worry about. Also I don't really need turn by turn navigation except in cities and that's a small amount of time overall, I much more prefer a moving map and checking with more or less a paper map inside my screen, if that makes sense.
  10. Thing is, I don’t care what kind of device it is, it could well not be a phone since it worked in a similar way regarding maps and stuff like that.
  11. Am I right in thinking this is an article on a bike that basically was just painted black with some bronze details and they're calling it a custom bike? Killer Mike!
  12. I don't get the fascination with driving through water filled holes like that, though. Is it for the sake of tradition that you keep paths or roads through flooded places like that?
  13. I know this might be a daft question to make, but is there any GPS device that works similar to a phone using google maps? I would love to have something that uses and accesses google maps information and is easy to use both as a navigation device but also as checking where you are and what's around you like you can do on google maps, but isn't as poor in handling strong sunlight and temperatures. A normal phone doesn't like that, and I'm not sure sure about those rugged ones. I use my iPhone when on the bike, and love that. It works fine enough and when it gets too hot for it to handle I just don't use it on the handlebar, however, I'm facing a conundrum. Going to Morocco later on I'll have to buy a second phone as I'll need to keep my current portuguese number working properly for work reasons, but that doesn't give me a lot of data usage for Africa. So, I'll have to carry a second phone with a Moroccan card or buy a phone with two cards, having been stranded once before it's not a bad idea to have two phones, but here's my thing. I like taking pictures and having them on the picture app in apple, with all the maps information on there, so an iPhone just works for me. On the other hand, it'll probably get a little too hot in several days, and I might stray off the road for a while in conditions where I like the device I'm using for orientation to keep working! I'm not keen on carrying two phones plus a third gps device, and also don't really like gps devices and their limited information and databases, I don't want to load routes and shit like that beforehand but just go and wing it on the day having decided where to go. Any suggestions on a device that isn't as fragile as a mobile phone but works like one with navigation?
  14. Good stuff! Those lanes look friendly enough for most bikes too, so none of that flipping your bike backwards and have it landing on you stuff!
  15. Numa noite the orvalho, fui cagar ao cemitério Levantou-se o morto e disse, Vai cagar para o caralho! Quando eu era pequenino a minha mãe fez-me uns calções Eram largos na cintura E apertados nos colhões!
