Elastomer?

I wouldn't attempt to fix it. Ride it as is, or replace. The same thing happened to my velocity aileron within the first 200 miles of my 3500 mile tour-- I met a pothole disguised as a puddle which gave the wheel a pinch. I couldn't use it as tubeless anymore, but otherwise, it made no...

As for trying, at least they're cheap :) I have a box/packet already, actually, I'm just too "lazy" to swap wheels and try them. They have enough stiction that I don't think they flutter much, at least when new. OTOH, because they don't have a hard-stop, they also can't provide (much) lift...

Oh, and https://nullwinds.com/pages/spoke-fins I actually like the concept as having the aspect ratio change as a result of lateral forces makes a lot of sense...

It is scary enough without a big horizontal sail.

Hope everything is alright, and will continue to be that way !

It creates a wave in the air near the ground, for sure.

Those casual bike paths actually have higher accident rates, FWIW.

The thermoplastic stuff I used for my seat mounting can be dyed black.

I liked the comment, but that doesn't mean I like the fact behind it :)

Rubber band anti-flop. I leave this on permanently. It lets me move the bike with one hand, from the rear. Thread: https://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/tiltmaniacs-s30v2-build.12220/ Link showing mounting (I use thumbscrews to hold the seat on below, which provides for a nice mounting place...

Have you seen the 'rubber band' approach to keeping the bike stable?

I'd also done shipping of my S30 in an airline-compliant baggage. Pipe insulation is key. After all, a tube is essentially just a pipe measured from the outside instead of measured from the inside :) Use bolts or similar to keep the forks from being compressed (sideways). This is one of the...

Looks like a standard QR to me.

For those who wish to experiment and aren't as handy, there is the option of the powercrank, which allows length adjustment with an Allen key and a minute or two. http://m.powercranks.com/i/http%3A%2F%2Fpowercranks.com%2F%2Fassets%2Fimages%2FM8BasicblkAlumDM.png

Looks good!

That bit was under the scan? Ouch. Glad it didn't get infected. That could have been bad!

I've had 3 different DaBrims. On long tours I've had mixed success. The DaBrim often needs to be re-adjusted in order to stay on the helmet. When descending very quickly, it can warp and either attempt to fly off the helmet (top), or attempt to prevent you from seeing the road. Keep in mind I'm...

Huh. It has been one of the cooler helmets overall for me, though it is supplanted by a newer helmet (the Vanquish) anyway. I use the white/silver color (on all my helmets), which may help, but the meta point is really that any helmet with a ''shield" will protect your face better than will a...

I use the following mirror, which allows basically the whole bar area to be used for my hands: https://www.performancebike.com/shop/ultra-light-bike-mirror-40-1315 Cheap, light, and convex to allow for seeing stuff better. If you'd like to use the drops, it is a worthy (and cheap in price...
