Like any major groupset changes, this one will likely take some time to sink in. There’s a ton of pieces changing here, both on the physical aspects (in terms of cassettes, chains, chainrings, etc…), but also in the smart realm as well when it comes to apps and integration. Obviously, from my standpoint I’m most excited about the electronics side of things, whereas some of you may be more interested in the hardware/gearing aspects.

If you did your home work you had better get in more study as you do not even have a clue where they are built less how they are built.

Hi Ray Great summary. It appears that most of the 12 speed hardware is not backward compatible with any of the 11 speed etap…. but can you clarify if the AXS software will work with the 11 speed etap or etap wifli? may have missed it but cant seem to find an answer…. also… dont see the software on the IOS app store yet. Doesn’t look like it based on the chain ring and cassette choices…

The machining process on a vertical turning lathe is inherently stable. With VTLs the workpieces stand upright and need less clamping force (due to the effects of gravity) than when horizontal lathes are used. They also enable higher cutting forces to be applied which improves removal rates and reduces cycle times.

Roundabouts are becoming increasingly more popular in Canada but I do agree that as a Canadian driving here for more than 20 years I know there are too many North Americans who can just rent a car and have no idea of how to drive on the left but are given the keys with zero education of Cayman driving rules and off they go. Wrong.

In the engine bay, there’s a latticed magnesium strut-tower brace that looks like a hand-to-hand combat weapon, and so much air enters through the front end that the hood features the largest hole ever punched through one for a Ford product. Its louvered carbon-fiber vent massively reduces front-end lift when the rain tray is removed—this is a highly advisable action if you hit a track—but even so the panel needs to be held down not only with a traditional latch but also a pair of hood pins.

DeWalt’s fence locks into points along the fence, reducing the chances of installing it off-square.

But just remember that the RRP (which these prices are) for Dura Ace, without power, rim brakes is £3025, you’d be a fool to pay that much as it RRP not a “actual price that you will pay in the shops” (which is > 40% off in real life)

We can sum up our Bosch Reaxx safety performance results in two distinctive tests we ran on each. The first utilized an open palm hit. We slapped the “meaty” part of our (and by “our”, I mean Kenny) palm onto the top of the full-speed spinning blade. We minimized the danger in this test by only allowing a small portion of the blade to stick up through a 2×4 clamped to the top of the saw table.

No, it won’t. Ford went out of their way to make sure the Ranger was as late and uncompetitive as possible. Every Ranger offered outside of the US has a manual transmission option, yet here in Ford’s home country, they offer nothing in a manual transmission. They’re offering only one engine and it’s the 2.3 ecoboost famous for blown headgaskets and poor engine performance when running on 87 octane fuel in the summertime. They won’t even offer a Duratec V6 as an upgrade. No diesel engine either despite having a 3.0L diesel they could use. The only way the Ranger sells big is if Ford pushes the truck hard in the fleet market. The sales won’t come from the saturated midsize retail market.

I think car pooling comes back to public transport Cayman can be a bit hot to walk around in lunch time so when people need to run errands at lunch time or get lunch they need a car as they don’t have a public transport option.

And then we have reported the number for the OpEx cost of new technology. We also have a portion of the new technology going into capitalized R&D for the new products, but what you see here is the effect of OpEx.
