  • I have the same GX groupset on two bikes - both 12 speed. One is AXS, the other is cable. The AXS shifter never misses. Ever. Can’t say that about the cable, which I’ve adjusted many times. I think it’s a great upgrade.

    It’s also something I can work on, repair, etc. I don’t think that’s going to be the case with the upcoming setup where the gearing is colocated with the motor, and there’s no derailleur. That’s going to be a shop (or probably even manufacturer) repair.








  • As the joke goes…

    Two scientists think they’ve cracked the secret of creating a humanzee. However, in order to test their theory, they need a human to mate with their chimpanzee, so they take out an add in the local newspaper (it’s an old joke. A newspaper is what we used for news in the before times) that reads, “Man wanted for sex with chimpanzee for $1000”

    The next day a man walks in and says, “I’ll do it on three conditions. First, my wife can never know. Second, the children must be baptized. Finally, I’ll have to pay in installments.”

  • The short story that sticks with me from junior high, that I have not been able to track down in the last 40 years or so, was if I remember right another lottery style tale. I think it was just the husband and the one chosen was eaten by the rest of the community - the twist was that the eatee got to choose the method of preparation, and in the story, he chose to be served raw. Anyone recall this story? I’d love to track it down.
