As a general rule for AliExpress, if something is priced too low, it's going to be garbage.

I've relied on Reddit thread advice in the past for getting decently reputable Chinese brands, which has worked well when buying various things (cycling gear, kitchen scale, mini-PC).

I've had a puncture a grand total of once, and to remedy it I used a repair kit. It worked without any issues. I even had a mechanic inspect the tyre after and he said it was completely fine to drive on it after because of how well sealed the puncture got, which is to be fair not the recommendation from the kit manufacturers, but as I understand, the tyre held up fine for a long time after that. This was not my car, I don't own one and I drive quite rarely

That's mostly a matter of regulation though - there's no necessity for this type of fuel to be used in shipping, other types of combustion fuel would work fine, but this type of fuel just so happens to be really cheap because no one else wants it.

We could ban it, and shipping would still be basically completely fine.

That being said, we should still aim for electrification, but electrification is not a prerequisite to phase out HFO

It doesnt stay open, its in the way, and it doesnt even prevent you from just ripping it off and throwing away the lid.

Just fold it back until it hits the point where it locks?

Jesus Christ, what a weak take this is.

was only paused because it hurts SRAM's bottom line.

Wasn't it paused due to the Belgian court decision in the matter?

The minimum bar width is terrible for smaller riders, but it's fine because no corporation is hurt

Wasn't this restriction relaxed to the point of not being that harmful to smaller riders? The initial rule was definitely overboard, but the updated numbers seemed like they could be pretty reasonable.

A rule which relates the number to the physiology of the rider would probably be a better call, though.
