    A time and place where the pandemic, war, the energy crisis and global warming all intersect to kick off deglobalization?

    I’ve been reading Peter Zeihan’s new book “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization”. I’ve had, in comparison very simplistic and shallow thoughts along similar lines to what Peter Zeihan is saying for a while now, that globalisation has passed its...

    CSU rebuilding

    During lockdown I bought myself a 20 ton press and taught myself how to rebuild CSU’s following Oliver Majewski’s (Blue Liquid Labs) method.

    Two enter, one leaves

    Need a tag along for the little guy. I don’t want to be stuck on fire trails, and he’s a little sensitive to rough tracks. So I’m thinking the rear triangle from this curb side find and a steel framed tag along bike will get mashed together.
