true but also not using them doesn't mean my shit will fall apart, it just means i get like 20-30% less tomato taste

I don't know if they're available where you are but Dia Compe still makes new non bullshit cantilever brakes

Even bike puncture repair kits are kind of bullshit. They're basically getting carried entirely by a small packet of vulcanizing fluid as per price per parts. You can buy sheets of 100 of the patches for the price of one kit and the 3cm² of sandpaper you need also costs fuck all.

This is a fine comparison but yet somehow I feel like I need "It's a tomato in a can, how much difference does it make" is a far easier hurdle to clear than "I need this to be somewhat structurally sound"

the snap button repair kit I gotta get on, though

we have a horrifying number of them in germany

that's rough

brake booster on a v-brake is wild

this is a random post I stole from /r/bicyclingcirclejerk but also just buy wooden clogs and then drive some screws in. It's wood, that's super easy

I'm not disagreeing with you on the principle but what kind of population numbers did those indigenous tribes have? We've got 8,2 billion people on this thing now.

Picking up the criticism about solarpunk here; if your future only works after most people are dead for some reason or another it's not exactly utopian or even good.

I'm not sacrificing watts to my fucking soles

Was the "left-wing" position just "basic welfare state, but only for aryans" again?
