First Ride: Endura Drag2Zero skinsuits tailored for aero efficiency
https://www.velonews.com/2018/03/bikes-and-tech/first-ride-endura-drag2zero-skinsuits-tailored-for-aero-efficiency_458722

DERBY, England (VN) — Most of cycling’s aerodynamic glamor is in frame and wheel design. But Endura’s designers recognize that a rider’s body and clothing induces significant drag — up to 80 percent of a rider’s wind resistance......................

SST is only applied to the sleeves and flanks for a reason. These are two areas on the rider’s body where laminar separation — or the separation of air from a surface — can cause problems by creating a low-pressure pocket on the trailing edge of a shape. It’s the same issue that airfoil frame tube shapes address.

The silicone chevrons help reduce laminar separation by creating tiny vortices of air. Airflow then adheres to that surface longer and flows more smoothly around it. That means the air separates from the surface later, shrinking the drag-inducing low-pressure air pocket behind the rider.

What’s Koroyd?

Koroyd is a series of engineered tubes that provide impact absorption. The tubes can be cut, shaped, cnc’d, thermoformed or laminated to be implemented into all sorts of helmets and protection. Endura’s new MT500 helmets join Smith’s helmets with the use of Koroyd.

We quickly learned they work horizontally too.

The Kelpies: why Scotland's new public art is just a pile of horse poo
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2014/apr/22/andy-scott-kelpies-sculpture-falkirk-scotland



The Kelpies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kelpies

Tiffany Jenkins on The Scotsman wrote that "They are impressive, stunning even, and I think people will become attached to them and proud of them. Of course, they will not please everyone, but that it is not possible as no such art work exists".[20]

Jonathan Jones, writing in The Guardian, described them as "the latest misbegotten "masterpiece" of public art. It is big. It is bold. And it is rotten. [...] The Kelpies is just a kitsch exercise in art "for the people", carefully stripped of difficulty, controversy and meaning."[21]

I had a craftsman ratchet that started slipping soon after a trip to the Colorado river.

I opened the back and found that the grease had gotten so hot at the river that the oil separated from the binder and leaked out and what was left (wax) had hardened.

I cleaned it and put in new grease and it worked better than ever.

And then this happened, when all I wanted was a new 1/4" drive ratchet!
