Cheers, I’ll take it into consideration for our trip next year 🙂

Is the hidden valley the place where you get drawn by a horse carriage as part of the official lift? If so no, takes too much time and couldn’t have convinced a group of ten people to commit to that. Plus we were really early in the season so lots of slopes were still closed…

Cool, thanks for the update!

Sure, feel free to go for it

Cheers! I liked how the negative space at the bottom balances the sky

Thanks 🙂

No idea, but it was taken in Southern Tirol around 1500m height on a mountain meadow. Perhaps that helps.

The most important step is always the next one

You did?

That is so incredible. All the dedication and love you put into this really show off what an amazing person you are. If you think that feels pretty good, remember this day in the future whenever you want to achieve something new. And how you got there, all on your own. There won’t be much you cannot reach if you put your mind and heart in it. I’m proud of you ❤️

Quality access

Nice, that’s the one. Anyone got experience with it?

I feel you. Went through with that this year ND had my drive train replaced for over 2k. 900 for the motor and work, another 1400 for the gearless transmission that stopped working. I thought about throwing it out but ultimately I despised the waste too much and same as yours the rest of the bike is in top condition.

So… No easy choices but that’s what made me realize that sustainability and repairability are what ebike comparisons should focus on

Seems Yamaha have a semi open standard, with some of the companies that integrate their tech building their own batteries.

I ride a seven year old Bosch CX, the internet says that any battery that fits the mount works, the supplier says it needs to have the same ID or it won’t.

There was an article around a few months back about a startup that builds replacement focused bike batteries. Part of the article was how much of a pain it was to reverse engineer the Bosch battery communication but they claimed they did it and that other brands were far easier. Couldn’t find it anymore unfortunately.

Nice article. What it lacks for me is to expand the viewpoint to “what is sustainable in the long run?”. So instead of comparing the newest systems and going 'oh this has even fancier performance by a few percent" check out what battery resupply looks like for bikes that are five years old. All of these drives come with their own battery packs, which ones use open standards that allow for aftermarket supply, which suppliers keep replacements available…

In the long run this is what defines a good purchase for me more than the performance difference between a Bosch CX and the dji drive

Feel free to try it out :)

I think that’s a great idea. Might well give it a try when I order prints next time.

Yeah, that was tricky and it’s also the part I’m not totally content with. I tried ten different tilts but it always came out wrong one way or the other. Black and white by choice, the colors of the garden were only distracting and didn’t add anything to the picture. Plus this way the reflections of the columns came out a lot better.

Sadly no. Seems I still need to work on my game when taking images of mushrooms. Thanks for trying anyways, it’s much appreciated.
