Aren't you the little wanker who used to claim to know more about me
than I do myself? Seems you're amazingly ignorant on this as on every
other subject. I've been writing here on RBT about my DI2 Cyber Nexus

I definitely saw more clearly; my problem is that my eyes are very
light sensitive, so the orange goggles help with clarity and just
about doubles the distance at which I can read a number plate in the

touring discussions usually wander around the subject if the askee sez
he's new at it.
the ten cog chain is usually thought of as inadequate, an 8 cog chain
more durable. From there the discussion goes to index shifting eg what
your bike has and the Ergo, an Italian not Japanese company and the
ancient durable but sssslow friction shifters which are levers for

I find that the curved glass is good enough. I rode 22km yesterday
with snowboarding/ski goggles and never found peripheral vision a
problem. See below about mirrors though.

Asher admits IPCC bureaucrats change scientific papers for political reasons

William Asher on the difference between what the scientists said and
what the IPCC reported to policymakers:
"These changes are the result of the politicians watering down the
conclusions of the scientists." -- William Asher.
When bureaucrats and politicians can adjust what the scientists say up
or down, or invert the scientific finding to say exactly the opposite,

I haven't misread you. I was talking about the reaction of the

is in quotation marks: because they will think it, because it won't be

As Tom Sherman points out in his followup, that 1% is elongation after
yield. Any Kevlar cord is way more elastic than 1%, even if it's not
twined up in rope lay. And any cable with rope lay will have on the
order of 1% elasticity just as deformation and compaction of the
entwined structure.
