Re: Dear America,
That gun death rate includes suicides, which skew the figure significantly. Just so you know. The CDC states the homicide by firearm to be 5.9 per 100,000. Thus, guns are used in the United States for suicide more often than to murder someone. If murder, not the use of a specific tool to do it, is o...

Re: Forum clean up ?
It would be quite easy to split the work amongst multiple people using the tool i wanted to build for xenforo. We will resume the original thread when the time comes, and i will provide a visual on how the tool will work: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=110702&start=50

I personally wouldn't trust that cell either.

Still a priority, let's talk about that project once we're on xenforo, it'd be a lot easier to do in that system

Re: Should I replace a bent cell?
Yes, and now rather than later - no idea of that cell is a time bomb or totally fine after that kind of damage.

Re: Leaf / leafmotor / leafbike high efficiency 1500w motor
AFAIK the golden motor hubs, and pretty much every hub with an integrated controller, all have a history of reliability problems with the internal controller. It seems like an ultimately bad idea for a motor and controller to be sharing the same heat space. In the case of the magic pie, more power i...

Re: gas price thread
Utah has had the cleanest air year i have ever experienced thus far due to the big trucks and SUVs that typically dominate the road being driven a lot less all the sudden.
I forget what gas costs because i only fill up the subcompact Mazda once a month. I think it's still ~5.00/gal here.

Re: Return of the ES wiki!
Not much to report yet.. but we've decided to throw CKEditor out replace it with Froala even if CKE will give us an open source license. This represents a little plot twist that will set us back.. but we are all about investing in the long term future of this software. The reason being is that if ne...

Thanks dude. I'm gonna hold off on perfecting it until the 15th.
See you next month when we have more concrete plans.

Re: Move to XenForo software
Forgot one last thing..
In xenforo, if you click an image in a post, you get a fullscreen version gallery instead of a click into nowhere.
Nice!

Re: Move to XenForo software
Not all too different.
The colors on those pages are a bit inconsistent, the padding also needs tuning, but you get the general idea.

Re: Move to XenForo software
Some foundational decisions about the aesthetic ( currently up for debate ) will be made by June 15th.
More on that later.
But so far, this is what ES 2.0 would look like if launched today:

Re: Return of the ES wiki!
It's Wednesday. I not sure we will get a public beta going by the end of this week because there is a code cleanup phase, bug squishing phase, and visual cleanup phase needed. I'd rather show a good demo instead of just a demo. :) The great news is that the hierarchy on the left is fully working ( w...

Nope, not at all. We're getting a new platform ( Xenforo ) for sure.

Re: Nazca Pioneer solar recumbent build
A big moment, the solar mounting is complete and I took the bike out for a spin! The full plan is to mount two panels, but I'll ride it like this for a few days to get a feel on how the bike handles with all this new stuff bolted on. Pretty sweet, i do wonder what happens with the aerodynamics of t...

Re: High performance & durability Cannondale Semi Recumbent
Okay i need another sanity check.. Chalo once recommended to me that a fork could be reduced in size safely like so: 1. Cut the fork legs. 2. Insert a metal tube that's just the right diameter and get the metal tube to support where the fork is broken. 3. Weld it. 4. Heat treat it ( it's aluminum ) ...

Re: High performance & durability Cannondale Semi Recumbent
Maybe one good clue is that the lightning bikes have super short rakes and are known to be very stable.. Lightning-P-38-Red-Used.jpg Sounds like i have my answer but check my logic on the idea that less rake = actually a good thing for this bike considering that i want it to go fast and am happy to ...

Re: High performance & durability Cannondale Semi Recumbent
I have also considered a 20" no suspension chromoly fork up front.. my only concern is that i see a lot of long rakes on recumbent forks.. from what i understand, the more rake, the twitchier the bike is. The less rake, the more stable it as at high speed ( what i want! ). So perhaps something ...

Re: High performance & durability Cannondale Semi Recumbent
I have a tough question about this frame and fork and recumbent geometry.. I have a yellow jekyll frame with a 26" fork. The front and rear end of both bikes is actually interchangeable with the cannondale bent. The bike's stock wheels are 20" rear, 16" front. I am thinking of putting...

Sorry, i just completely shelved it because i think it doesn't have a business case or even a public funding case. The rest is a few drawing and writings i haven't shared. What i have is more of an outline.
