Was it ever good?

AUS 8 is one of those steels that seems to never get shaving sharp. I have/had 2 knives in AUS8 (or A8). And after a week by the seaside they also show small brown spots on the blade. I have had more success with el cheapo 8CR13MoV than A8.

No way I would choose AUS8 if I can get it in D2 for R850...

Any idea on the weight loss of a stripped carbon frame?

He had something against DT Swiss. And despised Crossmarks (Swiss Sauser connection?) I am quite the opposite. Probably because I like cheese...?

Is that you, Johan Bormann?

IF you want them to testify against you yes. Remember they will have hard luck stories. And they were all hungry

If you eat a well balanced diet, your BMI is below 25, no family history of disease (like breast Ca, colon ca, heart attacks) going for regular blood test serves little purpose. Do a spot check on your bloodsugar from time to time, check your urine dipstix. See your GP. Cholesterol when you are in your thirties. If it is elevated, follow it up. If not, check it again in 5 or so years. Over 50: Colonoscopy. Gastroscopy. Prostate. Eyes. Urine dipstix. And cholesterol, PSA. Testing for stuff like anti oxidants and hormones? In men? Naaa Insulin. If you are fat. Phyto oestrogens test? I am sure someone can google a million tests to do. Watch this space... Question is: Is it worth it?

Why? What do you want to test for?

45 kg? pound? stone?

''You don't argue with a fanatic because they typically do it all day and have hardened answers to all your arguments practiced over countless debates. It's not like their arguments are correct but it takes time to debunk and unless you are an expert in the field they can start to sound believable. There are tons of debates on twitter between actual historians and psuedo-historians who sound like they know what they are talking about but are just trying to forward an agenda. Even for them it takes a lot of work to debunk the bs." -Mark Scalabrin

Just check if you have enough chain wrap when you do not use a hanger extender. That is if you use the 11-46 cassette with regular derailleur and loooong b screw

I did the Sani last year with a 1x10. 11-46 cassette. Works 100% Depending on your rear mech you might need this: https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-derailleur-hanger-extender/

The old Pumas were nice knives. The rest as far as I can see not really "collectible" A closer pic of the one with the metal tipped sheath?

"Cross-sectional and longitudinal population-based studies published within the past 2 decades suggest no differences in bone mineral density (BMD), for both trabecular and cortical bone, between omnivores and lactoovovegetarians (40). More recent studies with postmenopausal Asian women showed spine or hip BMD was significantly lower in long-term vegans (41, 42). Those Asian women, who were vegetarian for religious reasons, had low intakes of protein and calcium. An inadequate protein and low calcium intake has been shown to be associated with bone loss and fractures at the hip and spine in the elderly (43, 44). Adequate calcium intake may be a problem for vegans. Although lactoovovegetarians generally consume adequate amounts of calcium, vegans typically fall short of the recommended daily intake for calcium (8, 45, 46). Results from the EPIC-Oxford study provide good evidence that the risk of bone fractures for vegetarians was similar to that of omnivores (46). The higher risk of bone fracture seen in vegans appears to be a consequence of a lower mean calcium intake. No difference was observed between the fracture rates of the vegans who consumed >525 mg calcium/d and the omnivore fracture rates (46)." From the article
