  There is a maxi Cosi fixing thing for racks from steco, and they do a version for babboe bikes.
  Should be adaptable to all cargo bikes I
  would think.

  Oh that is perfect.
  Apart from the size, don't think it would work on my wrist.

  I had this with my old arkose fork and 650x47.
  But that's on the sides, and not where all the stuff gets dragged in and out nonstop and pushed against the wheel. At least thats my theory. Also those forks where cheap.

  With that clearance you have to change your heli tape after every ride?
  Unless there is a built in seat tube protector.
  Would be quite funny to gravel sand a hole in your budget friendly aero adventure bike.

  So, the solution is buying expensive tires!
  No surprise there.
  Nice handling if the situation and good info also.

  Oh this looks nice and serious! Such simple well proportioned frames.

  Also where is this?

  @Oliver Schick I think I know what you mean, and I see why, lets say one owner/building society/group per small plot would be nice.
  On plots like Dragonerarealthey do a lot of participative stuff before anything starts, and while that is great, it seems to be awfully complicated and somehow not necessarily successful, just because the resources aren't there.
  But at least this plot wasn't just sold to the big Austrian investor, so there is that as a success.
  So maybe just going with plots big enough for a lets say 10 apartments house so you get a mix of all the ideas and goals would be great. Is this what you're getting at?

  I am not completely against any building activity on Tempelhof.
  Its huge, it can probably keep its many functions and great appeal with a few hundred apartments on it.
  But the lets drop one row of buildings around the whole thing did not convince me.
  And the library, big no thanks. Made no sense in this spot, Amerika Gedenkbibliothek is less than 3km away.
  Always keep in mind that I am just an interested person, and by no means a professional though.
