What's your thought on 590 rims on 700c road frame (barely clear for 700x28 tires)? I've found affordable 590 rims, and despite the stupid expensive 584 rims on the current market.
edit: the frame used to run 584x38, no longer have those wheels
what's your thought since our life is not plastic-free life yet?
not as pretty and wild as some posts, but this is what I have been doing with my front lawn to satisfy the neighborhood aesthetic look and wife's love for lawn
no water, no seeding, no fertilizer (except wife's coffee grounds once a while), just mow when it gets to a certain height, mower blade adjusted to the lowest level (leaving grass as tall as possible), and leave whatever grows because survival of the fittest (I live in an area where drought, heat and freeze happen throughout)
so far, I've seen so many different types of grasses grow and die, so many shades of green and bluish green, sounds of insects, every step I take there are tons of bugs flying
last year, I left a patch of black eye susan grow, and this year it comes back three times as much, let's see how much they'll come next year
and the best, the lawn is as green as others' meticulously cared, water thirsty mono-grass yard
this is made by a small bike shop in Japan, ToxicWorks. has anyone seen anything similar to this in the US? I don't feel like paying $100+ for shipping and the stupid tariffs. I might have to ask some machinists, the important part is the collars for the head and down tubes.
for natural lawns and general clearing, what's your thought on goat grazing business instead of mowing (especially ones using gasoline)?
I cannot help it, but gotta love the early morning rides!!!
