Kamwatta and Whitewater to get electricity by year-end

Prime Minister, Brigadier (ret’d) Mark Phillips, on Tuesday, announced that the communities of Whitewater and Kamwatta, of Barima – Waini (Region One), will receive electricity before the end of the year.

The Prime Minister made these remarks during the simple sod-turning ceremony at the construction sites where power generation facilities will be installed in the two communities.

According to the PM, the two facilities will be constructed and operable before the end of 2021. They come at a cost of approximately $27.5M collectively.

It will be the first time that both communities get reliable electricity.  Currently, electricity is supplied by generators and solar panels purchased by residents for their individual use.

“When we campaigned, we spoke about development and we made promises to these people, now that we have formed the Government over the last eight months, we are focused on delivering on those promises,” the Prime Minister said.

Toshao of Kamwatta, Maurice Henry, said that in addition to anticipating electricity for the first time, the community was also excited about the first visit of a Prime Minister.

“I feel very happy and proud because the Prime Minister came to visit us and no other Prime Minister has ever come to visit us… I think this project will transform our community in a very important way because we’ve never had electricity in our village and I know all the residents will be happy knowing that we will now get electricity”.

Meanwhile, Toshao of Whitewater, Ernest Samuels, said he is pleased that the government is fulfilling its promises made while campaigning.

“I’m very happy and I’m very proud of the commitment by the government because they said when they were campaigning that Whitewater will be receiving electricity to every home in our central area, and today it is the beginning of the fulfilment of that promise and the people here are very proud and they know that it would make their lives easier because they will be able to have their appliances”.

The Prime Minister also visited the power generation facility in Wauna Village, another small community outside of central Mabaruma. According to Prime Minister Phillips, he expects the facility will be upgraded and the network expanded so that more households within the community will receive electrical power.

While in Wauna, the senior government official met with a group of students at the Wauna Primary School and also used the opportunity to meet with residents there to listen to their concerns.

The meetings were a part of the Prime Minister’s two-day visit to the region, where he installed new Boards of Directors for the power utility companies, assessed the power generation facilities and met with residents throughout various communities.

He was accompanied by Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal; Regional Chairman, Barima – Waini (Region One), Brentnol Ashley and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Hinterland Electrification Company, Horace Williams. (Modified press release)

Marc Tweed ~ Avunculus

The birds here sound like alarm clocks from the 1970s. I’m watching two in particular—five if you count babies who sound more like key fobs. A Steller’s Jay harries a smaller bird guarding a nest. The Steller’s Jay crashes through fir fronds, its crest dark and greasy, divebombing again and again until I finally leave the bench to wave it away with my cane. It alights on an unpopulated wax myrtle across the little still pond and we consider each other, our heads cocked to opposite sides. One by one, the chicks fall out of the nest and hit the ground soundlessly. It appears I have misunderstood. I hold the device to my neck and my apology sounds like a barcode. In three hours, Gene and Andrea will take me home. Where I will…do what exactly?

Andrea is twenty minutes or three days late picking me up. I’m out front, feeling the eyes of other problematic people bore into me from brick-framed windows five, six, seven stories up. Thrills of anticipation zoom up and down my arms. An indecisive wind searches me like tiny fingers.

Gene and Andrea and the kids, Bronson and Layla, invite everyone over, even Tom from work. They all regard me with mouths hanging open as I drink one glass of white wine, then another.

With everyone asleep, I watch television in the basement. The room is thick-carpeted, the screen humongous. There is a sliding-glass door looking out over a patio and Gene and Andrea’s long, three-tiered backyard, dimly illuminated by little solar lights.

I don’t know how to turn the sound system on so I advance the channels in silence until I land on a program called Find Your Greatest You. I give up on the sound system and watch the big-toothed man in a yellow shirt open and close his mouth in a completely empty room.

I put the remote back on the coffee table, knocking something to the floor.

Gene and Andrea’s yard is long and fancifully landscaped. Paving stones lead the way through a lazy path of Buddhist sculpture and manicured rose bushes of all colors. There is no pond but there is a fountain. In the middle of the fountain is Garuda, King of Birds. His wings are outstretched and water shoots out of his eyes and his beak. Lights at the bottom of the fountain ripple and pulse and change shades.

I could get used to this.

I remove my slippers and socks and let the fountain lights paint my feet. I make slits with my eyelids so my legs and the lights and everything else blur together. I’m able to convince myself this is a kind of sleep.

Gene stands before me in his bathrobe, squinting. Garuda’s face bathed in the morning sun takes on a new countenance, invites the air to carry him somewhere else. This seems reasonable to me.

Appreciate it if you don’t do that, Jerry,” Gene says, scratching one of his ankles.

He continues on, mentioning bacteria, electrocution, and other concerns I pretend to acknowledge. I hear Andrea singing to the kids inside, making breakfast. The windows are flung open to whatever day it’s supposed to be.

Did you ever sleep? Kids said they watched you sit out here for quite a while last night.”

I lift the device to my throat and explain that I slept and actually I slept better than I ever have. “It’s funny,” I say, “how different everything is when it lets go of you.”

At Bronson’s soccer match, I wander off. I run my cane along the chain link fence surrounding the field. It makes a ching-ching-ching sound as I go. It’s a very competitive match and no one seems to notice me squeeze under the bleachers on all fours and peer out from between the first and second rows. I lightly tap my forehead against the bleachers in a sparse rhythm. The scoreboard reads 0–0. The action is picking up. I remember how this is.

There’s Bronson, a bolt of lightning midfield. His team’s uniforms are outrageous, far from the knee socks and sterile polyester cocoons that reluctantly absorbed my sweaty failures when I was his age. Bronson is silver and black and his hair is in a mohawk, streaking toward the goal. He strikes. My gaze gets stuck on Gene on the other side of the field, his face painted silver and black, his mouth contorting in a scream, his eyes bulging, ready to explode.

I push the volume button all the way up and bring the device to my throat and cry, “Go Bronson! Come on! Come on, Bronson!”

I scan the sky for Garuda. A crane fly lands on my nose. The crowd goes wild.

Marc Tweed’s work has appeared or is forthcoming in NOON Annual, Bending Genres, BOMBFIRE, and more. He was a top-ten finalist in Pithead Chapel’s 2020 Larry Brown Short Story Competition.

You & I Mini Album

#BobnBetty #DTPost #PatternPapers

Hello Everyone!
I am so super excited to show you my new project today, which is a Mini Album in a Box. I truly love it so so much because it has “that” look which I wanted to achieve when I first saw these beautiful papers.
This project is made using Bob n Betty’s latest release, “You n I”, a perfect paper collection for your prettiest love albums.
The colors are super amazing, contrasting, with beautiful graphics and lot of tags and elements to be cut ( Shhh…!! I took out my elements from the cover too, both front and back, try to find out which ones are those ;P). The papers very well go with all the three basic card stock colors, black white or kraft.

I decorated the Box and Album in coordination. The cover of the box has some layered fussy cut flowers and leaves. The size of the album is smaller than it might appear to you, approximately 4”X5”.

I have layered the hair and hands of the couple image on the cover to add a little dimension to it. It has 4 pages with flaps and pockets and an accordion pocket in the end to hold some more pictures. (P.S. the binding technique is inspired by Ms. Rajni Chawla. I adore all her beautiful creations, I hope I could use it well 🙂)

The video below will give you a quick look of the album. Hope you like it. Thanks a lot for stopping by today..

Love, Niharika

Comparing Standard and Selective Degradation DNA Extraction Methods: Results From a Field Experiment With Sexual Assault Kits

NCJ Number
Date Published
January 2017
10 pages
Rebecca Campbell, Steven J. Pierce, Dhruv B. Sharma, Jessica Shaw, Hannah Feeney, Jeffrey Nye, Kristin Schelling, Giannina Fehler-Cabral
This study evaluated selective degradation methods for DNA extraction, using actual case work from a sample of previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs) in Detroit, Michigan.
A growing number of U.S. cities have large numbers of untested SAKs in police property facilities. Testing older kits and maintaining current case work will be challenging for forensic laboratories, creating a need for more efficient testing methods. The current study randomly assigned 350 kits to either standard or selective degradation testing methods and then compared DNA testing rates and CODIS entry rates between the two groups. Continuation-ratio modeling showed no significant differences, indicating that the selective degradation method had no decrement in performance relative to customary methods. Follow-up equivalence tests indicated that CODIS entry rates for the two methods could differ by more than ±5 percent. Selective degradation methods required less personnel time for testing and scientific review than standard testing. (Publisher abstract modified)

Sober Living

The road to successful recovery from addiction can be difficult, but not impossible. Most clients who have transitioned from the protective walls of residential/inpatient treatment quickly experience the anxiety producing reality of returning to their former lives where they often face the challenges that await them. Without the immediate support of staff and a structured safe environment designed to prevent relapse, managing the triggers and cravings to use or drink again can prove challenging and clients tend to find themselves relapsing and re-entering treatment over and over again without the appropriate aftercare plan.

Many factors contribute to the complexities of achieving sobriety. Among them are:

  • Client factors (motivation, family history and dynamics, medical and mental health issues, etc.)
  • Treatment factors (length of stay, treatment approaches, mix of client population, etc.)
  • Post discharge life/sobriety skills and support systems (alcohol/drug free living environment; healthiness of relationships, legal issues, participation in sober support systems, etc.)

No matter the length of stay in residential/inpatient treatment, the goal is for clients to utilize the skills that they have gained to assist them with coping with their emotions and the stressors of the real world.

It is often recommended that clients take additional time to practice using the tools and applying the skills they learned during their residential/inpatient treatment experience. Sober living environments can offer a safe and stable opportunity to practice and develop sober living skills..

Nishan Rehab’s Sober Living Environment (SLE) is one such place. Located at Banigala, Islamabad, these single bed-room, two-bedroom, four bed, gender-specific apartments provide a structured residence where an individual can live while they continue treatment. At the SLE, an individual can become more involved in developing and participating in their sober support networks, explore employment opportunities, attend school, and integrate sober living and healthy habits into their daily lives.

Nishan Foundation focuses on providing the most effective, evidence-based treatment, exceeding expectations by paying close attention to four key therapeutic principles

August 3rd - Back to School

Old brick building - Lincoln Jr. High
The old place we stayed at. Really cool brick facade.

For our final day off (tomorrow), we stayed in Lincoln Jr. High. At least, it used to be a school. More recently, it's been used as overflow for the town hall, and a bit of a community center. We had the entire gym to unpack into, which was very spacious. Burns itself was small, but fun to walk around in. Helen and I spent the afternoon in a used bookstore and came back with Packing for Mars, Tuesdays with Morrie, and a few other titles.

[Music & Interview]: Lifka

Music & Interview

Lifka … young DJ and producer based in Hamburg

Hi Luca. Very happy to have you for the special “Music & Interview” feature with an exclusive live set. The first time I met you was at a Staub party taking place at PAL. You were introduced by a common friend of us: Mike Fly, DJ and party promoter from HH (Thanks a lot for this, Mike!). A few months later I heard one of your live sets at another Staub. But let’s start with the very beginning: your childhood and youth 😉 So please tell us where you were born and raised. How was your childhood? When did you discover music and what kind of music did you like being a teenager?
Hi Jürgen, I’m glad we finally get to do this. Thanks for having me! I was born and raised in Munich. Growing up in a creative environment with my mum being a very gifted tailor/textile conservator and my father working in photography I spent most of my childhood/early youth with skateboarding and doing all sorts of odd hobbies like collecting Warhammer 40K, archery, making huge bonfires and building tree houses in the gravel pit next to my place. I always liked to put my focus on more than just one thing at a time, so I always had an alternative, when I was bored with one of the activities. The first song I remember liking was „Hey Bulldog“ by the Beatles played on my father’s record player at age 5 or so. When I got a little older I discovered most music through skate videos. Lots of old school hip hop, psychedelic rock, punk rock and other gems. Not really knowing about music history and genres I never really drew borders between different styles, I just collected what appealed to me. During my youth I was more focused on metal music due to playing the guitar. A little later I found my way into electronic music with artists like Gesaffelstein, The Hacker, SebastiAn, Surkin, and Mr. Oizo, combining harshness with funky grooves and heavy beats. That was also the time, when I felt the urge to buy two shitty turntables and a mixer to teach myself DJing. In Munich, I only played a few bar gigs, because, being a little shy, I didn’t really get to know anyone working in the electronic scene, so I rather just went partying and listening to DJs I liked. Despite having had a great time growing up in Munich I always knew, that I didn’t want to stay there any longer than I had to, I just wanted to make new experiences, visit new places and from there see where it takes me. So after finishing school, I applied for graphic design studies in Hamburg and eventually got the place. So it was clear, that this would be the next step for me to take..

Living in Hamburg you are a vital part of the scene there with gigs at clubs like PAL, Rote Flora etc., but also with releases on labels like Ohne Kommerziellen Wert & Snork. Please describe the scene there for us.
I had my first contacts with the Hamburg techno scene, when I went to the monthly party series called SubspAce. I was immediately blown away by the vibe, sound and impressive light concept. Since then I got more and more involved as a DJ and with my crew Vinka Katt.

The core of the Hamburg techno scene is quite small but there is a really strong bond between the participating artists and crews. Basically, it’s one big clique with a large variety of very talented, interesting characters. There’s a lot of support and exchange like collaborated parties and label projects such as Ohne kommerziellen Wert, a label run by Stute and Strathy, where vinyl production costs are split between the corresponding artists of every release. We often meet and plan upcoming events, have listening session, when a new release is out, make music or just hang out in the park. It’s very cosy. Another vital part of the scene are techno clubs like PAL, that stands for its top notch booking, open minded party series like NACKT or guest parties like STAUB.

(flyer of the first “Nackt” party)

You’re part of the collective Vinka Vatt. What is the crew about? Who is part of it?
Vinka Katt is a Hamburg based DJ-Collective and mostly non-commercial party series. On my first week of university I met Matvrak and we quickly noticed, that we had a lot of mutual musical interests, so she asked me if I would like to play at a studio party for their party series called Vinka Katt. That was basically the start. I was really happy, that I had such a good start, moving to a new city, knowing almost nobody. Thinking back, I don’t know where I would be now, if this had not happened. The Astra Stube was the first regular location for Vinka Katt partys, followed by Kraniche bei den Elbbrücken, and currently Gängeviertel. Same as choosing rather small locations for our parties, our booking mostly consists of locals or befriended DJs. It’s more about capturing and cultivating the Hamburg underground scene and attracting people that exactly want what we provide, than booking headliners and just luring masses. With the founders Matvrak, in:research, Konglomerat and Jeremy Liar, there are 5 (more or less active) members: Oiko, acp, Haiko Nahm, Union Versus and me. Each artist has his or her own recognizable sound and style. In order to keep it interesting and to have enough time for guest-acts we often do b2b sets.

(full stream of Lifka’s “Ubu Roi”, taken from VFR057)

We already mentioned your releases and live sets. Which equipment do you use for the production? What do you have onstage?
Within the last years I went from solely using Ableton live to getting more and more hardware equipment until I got independent from using a computer for production about 2 years ago. My main source for percussion and drums is the Analog Rytm. I’ve got a 303 clone for the most obvious acid sound, the Blofeld for pads and atmos or sometimes additional synth parts and my beloved modular synthesizer, the center piece of my setup, which I use for almost all lead parts of a track. The equipment I use on stage is pretty similar to my studio setup at home, except a few things that are too big to carry or that I rather use for experimental purposes like an old 70ies tape delay or the Moog DFAM I recently got. Another important feature of my setup is the Octatrack. I use it for sampling and processing unique synth parts of a track, that would be too difficult to reproduce in a live environment or sounds that I spontaneously come up with. Also, it makes me more flexible, when playing live. All the machines are synced with midi and get mixed on a 24 channel analog mixing desk. I’ve got a few pedals for delay and reverb. After finishing the recording of a track I process and, if necessary, edit a few parts on the computer in order to get it ready for mastering.

Talking about the equipment leads to the question how your production process looks like. What inspires you? How do you start the production of a track and how do you continue with it until you have a satisfying result? How do you select the label for your tracks? Do you bundle them at that point or are they already a complete EP during the production process?
Usually there is nothing concrete in my head, when I start a new track, although I admire the skill of starting a track with a specific direction. At the moment I rather build the elements of a track by experimenting and figuring out what suits, both sonically and mood wise. Hardware and especially modular is perfect for finding things you would never have thought of. Sometimes I know, that there is just one missing part and I get stuck trying to find it, so it’s really important to have sources of uncertainty, which surprise you in the right moments and drive you to go in new directions, when being lost. All my productions are live recordings. I like the feel of it and the progression of a track is much more natural and organic in my case. When producing with Ableton, I often struggled with the arrangements and was just too impatient to sit on Track4_FINAL-2.3, drawing automations all day until I had a satisfying result. It’s more like entering a dialog with your track and trying to figure out and feel how it wants to be played. You could call it machine empathy.

Since releasing my first EP on Cirque Du Minimaliste last year, I’ve been working on finishing requests. My plan now is to finish a new EP and send it to a few labels of my choice.

When compiling a new EP I try to use harmonizing tracks that fit the overall concept of the release and sound of the label. But sometimes it’s that forgotten demo track, that suddenly works in a new context. In my opinion the cover art and track titles also play an important role in adding a semantic level to the music.

Talking about inspiration, since last year Lucinee, my girlfriend and partner in crime, also started producing her own music. She’s very talented and already released her debut EP and another track for a VA this year. It’s really inspiring to see her progress and to have a partner with the same passion and interests.

We met a few years ago in the techno scene through DJ gigs, co-hosting events and our crews.

Also, I often find inspiration in non related things like movies, art exhibitions or theatre visits. When I’m unmotivated I have a few go-to YouTube videos that somehow give me immediate inspiration like Benjamin Damage’s “Against the clock”, some gear demos or a few boiler room live-sets. It’s always nice to realize, that there are so many more things to learn and paths to take!

Lifka 2

Besides making and playing music what are you doing? Are you a student? What do you study/work and what are your non musical dreams for the future?
As I mentioned earlier, I’m studying Graphic Design. I’m doing some freelance work from time to time, but I am not that active at the moment. Besides this I’m having a regular part-time job. I always try to keep enough time for music. To be honest, there aren’t a lot of non music related wishes for the future at the moment.

Do you have some all time favourite records/tracks? Please name them and let us know why they are important for you.
Ouff, there are so many – that’s difficult to determine. I’ll focus on stuff I normally wouldn’t play in a techno set. You can listen to my technoid favourites in my DJ-sets. 🙂

(official video of Atom™’s “Strom”, taken from r-n155)

Let us talk about the mix/set you delivered with this interview. How did you work on it? What was your intention?
Preparing a live set can get really intense sometimes, because there are a lot of things you have to prepare in order to get a fluid flow. I always like to set contrasts, I tried to keep a nice mixture between melodies and sound textures, light and shadow, soft and hard, full and empty, the beauty and the beast. It gives a good overview of what inspires me and what drives me. I like bold changes in mood and maneuvering through different emotional passages during my sets. This particular mix contains a few tracks, I always like to include in my live sets, some previously released ones, and some new stuff, that hasn’t seen the light of day yet.

(Lifka behind the machines)

Already the last and final question: what are your future plans? Any new releases? Some special gigs?
My remix of MSKD’s track „Hypnotic Circle“ just got released on Vector Functions Records, definitely check out the whole EP!

Matrheim, a meanwhile really good pal, invited me to play my first foreign gig in Paris at New’s Cool invites Eradys Records, a label I’ve previously released on. I’m really looking forward to finally meet the crew and spend some time together.

There will be a Split EP together with Valura on Space Trax, an upcoming record label by Philipp Drube and Frank Heise. Also, you can expect me on one of the next releases of Ohne kommerziellen Wert. In addition Lucinee and I are working on a split Ep.

The Stiffness Saga, Pt. 1: Rims

If you've never read it, Edward Tufte's book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is definitely worth a look.  With all of the info that we're shaking loose from our wheel stiffness testing and measuring, it's definitely a challenge to parse it out into pieces you can actually chew.  This project has actually made me need to go back and digest what it is I've thought I've learned several times.

Since the wheels we make are really nothing if not assemblies of components, it's worth it to talk about the components themselves.  You have rims, hubs, and spokes.  Each affects the system, but they all work together.  You do a bunch of horse trading back and forth to try and tease out the biggest spike of the features you want to maximize, while paying the lowest cost in negative features like weight and drag.

Once you have the right fixtures, it's easy to measure rim stiffness.  You support the wheel at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, and load it at 6 and 12.  Measure the deflection under load et voila, there you go.  A few pieces of aluminum extrusion, a weight, and a dial gauge were all we needed for this one.

We measured every type of rim we have on hand, except the Iron Cross rims because some dummy already built them into wheels and can't wait to use them.  Mike channeled his inner Edward Tufte and this came out:

All of these are 700c/29" rims (which is why the Stan's Crest isn't there - some dummy ordered the wrong size of those).  Note that we have plotted them against weight, so the bias line you see is stiffness to weight ratio.  On the line can be said to have average stiffness to weight, above the line can be said to have good stiffness to weight, and below the line can be said to have less good stiffness to weight.

Rail 34s do quite well measuring this way.

Now, of course, stiffness to weight isn't the only important thing in a rim.  The Rail 52 is fundamentally a pretty similar structure to the Rail 34, but pays a weight cost for its depth and shape.  That depth and shape come with the benefit of making it among the fastest wheels anywhere near its depth (and any clincher near its weight).  Conversely, the Stan's 340 comes with a very light weight.  Light riders who aren't slapping out watts might not need all that stiffness, and can benefit from lighter weight.  And a Stan's 340 with a good hub and an appropriate spoke count can be a quite stiff wheel - a 28 spoke Stan's 340 was a standout in whole wheel testing.  In the case of the Arch EX, we're building those with 32 spokes, not the 20 spokes that a Pacenti SL23 front might have.  And it needs to durability as well as stiffness - the two are neither mutually in- or exclusive.  The Kinlin XC279 which has been the basis for our FSW23 wheel has a nice mix of all of the attributes.

We'll talk about hubs and spokes individually before we get into the whole assembly, and note that this is lateral stiffness.  Radial or circular stiffness is another thing that we'll talk about.

All of these measurements take massive mounts of time - building wheels, configuring the test apparatus, etc etc etc, so this will come over some time period.  But we're happy to be out of the land of guessing and into the realm of knowing.

    Having done lots and lots of stiffness tests on rims / wheels / same wheel built with different spoke counts / different spoke gauges, etc. I can tell you the next fun thing you will discover is that the Alpha 340 (or any other soft rim) built into a stiff enough wheel will be the one that provides the less deformation on the opposite side from the load which in real world translates into less brakes pads rubbing with a soft rim than with a stiff one in many cases (contrary to popular belief).So many times you will hear people saying "my wheels are too soft they rub on my pads" when in fact it's the rim that it too stiff relative to spokes count / spokes gauge / hub geometry so you have a very stiff rim that provide lot of 180° deformation (a rear brake on a standard road bike is most often around 150-160° but 180° measurement is good enough information) since it doesn't bend (push down on one side, it moves up on the opposite side) with a triangulation that's not strong enough.It only differs with brakes under chainstays like on most TT/Aero bikes meaning maybe wheels should be developped a bit differently depending on where rear brake is positionned…As a general rule what I'm saying is a light/flexible rim can be built into a super light wheel without much consequence (except for the loss in "precision" in the ride) as long as it's strong enough, stay true and hold tension of course whereas a very stiff rim "should" be built into a very stiff wheel because you need very little deformation under load in order to have little deformation at the brake pads.Hum… sorry I got carried away (that's the wheels passion talking), good first information on rims, looking forward to read what you find out when testing wheels then :-) !!!

    Please describe what the labels each axis of the charts mean. Without them these are a nebulous group of data that is useless. Nobody has any idea that the horizontal is grams unless you label it! The vertical axis needs to be described even if the values can't be quantified, they need to be described by relative terms, I E the larger the number the (lower on the chart) means more deflection.Please explain what you are doing otherwise the graph is quite meaningless.

  • Dave Kirkpatrick on

    Mike,You're dealing with two components of stiffness here – the much derided "vertically compliant, literally stiff" schism.Lateral wheel flex is, as far as any evidence I've ever seen shows, a straight negative. It can cause understeer, it can cause rub, it stresses the components in the wheel, and yes at some decimal point level it wastes energy. There is no comfort gain to be made from lateral flex. Vertical compliance, or radial stiffness, or hoop strength, can get overdone. Quite simply, you need to ensure the amount of radial integrity to ensure that spokes are cycle loading the minimum amount, and any more is a waste. Whether or not anyone can actually discern a difference in vertical compliance of one wheel versus another (given exact same tires/tubes/ps, with all other variables controlled) is a hotly debated topic. I personally maintain that I can feel some difference (a recent switch from months on Rail 34s with T11 hubs and CX Rays to Pacenti SL23s on T11 hubs and CX Rays gave me a good data point – or just ride a disc wheel at some point!), but also know for absolute sure that a relatively minor tire psi change outweighs that difference. The stiff rim/brake rub thing is complicated. Assuming a perfectly stiff axle, when torque is applied to a very stiff rim with too few spokes, the rim's plane will move off the perpendicular to the hub's axis. With a flexible hub axle, the stiffer rim will flex the axle. In contrast, a flexible rim will "soak up" that stress by flexing at the ground, which is where that torque gets grounded. I wouldn't call one better than the other, but to the rider the flexible rim will likely be less evident. This is all getting covered in subsequent entries, but again, these tests take a ton of time so it will take us time to get it all done and published. Our convention is to do our readers the service of sharing things open book, in progress, and sometimes the conversation gets ahead of itself, as is the case here. On the marketing drivel point, yes you could easily say that some rims we've measured are "TWICE AS STIFF!" as others, but it would be meaningless to do so unless you were looking for a flashy copy line.

  • pyf on

    MikeM,Like I said… if you don't mind brake pads rubbing then yes you can use a stiff rim with fewer/thin spokes. it won't ride badly but you will get brake pads rubbing.If you do mind brake pads rubbing then a softer rim can actually be a good option of you need to build a stiff wheel out of a stiff rim.But if someone find a different solution I'm very happy to hear it… as I haven't found it and would like to ;-))) .

  • MikeM on

    Does it necessarily follow that it might actually be a good idea to use fewer spokes on the stiffer rims?It almost seems like carbon rims may do "more of the work", so using more spokes might actually mean you've used too many. You don't want to get too rigid.When I read marketing claims on frames, they frequently say something like, "Now 34% stiffer at the seat cluster!", and find myself saying, "But it was already way too stiff there. We have to ride these things, you know."Wheels should flex an appropriate amount; that's part of the work they do. Stiffer may not be better at times.
