>But it's more than obvious that people in cycling or any professional strenght or endurance sport, including those in Olympics, are using dope, and those that get caught seem to not lose too many fans, even when they are blatantly lying in official statements or pretending to not know how the substances got into their blood.
He's not hated for the doping. He's hated for blackmailing, threatening, bribing and conspiring with sponsors to ruin the careers and lives of the people who knew or spoke up - or just didn't want to play along. Like LeMond, to use just one example of many.

A lot of people doped. Very few people were such horrible human beings and did so much damage to the sport and its key players in addition to doping. That's where the hate comes from.
Compare Pantani.

Yes. Clear example of a doper who was gone after _for_doping_ and is now universally loved and revered for his contributions to the sport rather than despised for being a shit-cunt. That he felt the need to commit suicide after the career came to a halt is sad, but beside the point.
Hell, the peloton is packed with """former""" dopers who have repented, served their time and been welcomed back. That should make it painfully clear that whatever hate is directed towards Armstrong is not primarily because 'hurrr-durr he duped'.

People have no long term problem with repentent dopers. Scum and villainy, on the other hand... I'm amazed there hasn't been RICO probes into the shit surrounding TREK, Armstrong, Livestrong, US Postal and the UCI. I guess that's what wealth and connections to power does.

But this cunt, this irredeemable shitstain used all of his power and influence to indiscriminately crush everyone who spoke against him, who could have a speck of dirt on him, ruined the lives and livelyhoods of everybody who put him at risk.
He steps over his friends and colleagues and drags their names and the sport through the mud and then comes clean and expects to be hailed as some kind of martyr or whisteblower.

Internally geared hubs

Quoted By:

What is the consensus on these things? Anybody have or use the higher geared(more than 3 gears) ones on their bike? They are supposed to be more reliable then a derailleur system yet whenever I do research they all seem to be plagued with major design flaws/problems with the single exception of a rohloff speedhub(which is like $1,500). I ask because I've been thinking about replacing the derailleur on my commuter with one -maybe an alfine 8.

He's actually wrong. Just like the Alfine 11 there are no pawls in the Alfine 8, is has a roller clutch. You can shift under load, too much load and it simply won't shift until you ease up. In practice it's not an issue at all once you get used to it as you don't need to pedal at all to shift unlike with derailers, you can simply ease up or stop pedalling for a fraction of a second whilst you shift (which happens much quicker than a derailer, as soon as the shifter clicks).

>It's a chill way to ride not worry about planning your gears perfectly
One of the cool things about an IGH is you don't need to downshift when coming to a stop as you can do it whilst stationary, and if you get caught out by a sudden climb and you're not low enough you can just hit the lever a couple times without having to mash on the pedals to get it to shift down.

Numerously to most cities, some form of permanent core downtown trolley network for charging while driving (plus units with battery problems could operate trolley-only lines), as electric transport is advancing.

To little bigger cities clicheicly - light rails, not meme-streetcars. I am living currently in such a city that could get a proper light rail with possibities for future tram-train operation, but producing a graphics, with my skills, would me a multi-hour operation.

So, I was thinking of getting a sondors but Im starting to realize how much they suck (battery charging is user timed and wont auto-stop I mean jesus wtf)

I was going to do a /diy/. Front hub seems the easiest to do, is there a downside to doing a front wheel drive setup? I know it's less efficient than a mid drive or a rear hub, but efficiency and power doesnt concern me.

Additional weight up front is going to affect the handling more than in the rear, forks generally can't handle as much power, there's less traction on the front wheel so it's more likely to slip and if that happens it's more likely to result in a crash than with the rear wheel, you can't do donuts or wheelies, and probably some things I'm forgetting.

On the plus side AWD is pretty neat, it's a bit simpler and easier to do, it'll probably be cheaper, and you won't be limited to 7 speed freewheels.

So when you say too much power, what do you think? Im increasingly going down /diy/ and its pretty easy to get lots of power for very little money. I was linked someones build and he put a 850 watt front hub on his bike with a cheap 16 AMP battery somewhere in there.

That seems pretty powerful to me and maybe he built that for hills. I definitely want to build something with throttle control so I'm not on full power- I'm hoping 250 watts wont make me skid if I set it to that.

>So when you say too much power, what do you think?
It's hard to say. Pretty much any frame will be fine with a 500w motor out back but there are forks out there that won't like even 250w. It'll probably be fine as long as you don't stick it on a spindly road bike fork, stick for stuff designed for mountain bikes.

250w probably won't cause any traction issues on roads but you'll want to avoid anything loose like gravel or sand/dirt on paved surfaces. Like I said though there aren't many advantages to front wheel motors and the ease of fitting and price differences aren't massive.
