That's why I hate my Flight Jacket knockoffs. The leg on my Jawbreaker copy broke and I can't find the exact copies anymore on AliX. Considering getting a real one now.

I believe he has them printed at Shapeways, or at least he did for a while. With Shapeways’ nylon prints I’d be quite confident they’d hold up to a fair bit of abuse. Though do note that his design doesn’t have the little shelve at the bottom, probably with good reason.
If CAD skills are the limiting factor I’d be happy to draw something, the Shapeways prints aren’t going to be cheap though.

Can the lenses be swapped easily?

Not sure if @Harry.Major of http://wizard.works fame does custom stuff like this?

It’s like asking people if they can taste the difference between sourdough and rye sourdough, a bread that’s a mere 3 letters different.

Lots of sewing going on on the forum lately, would be cool to see the updates that don't fit in other threads here. @jaeyukdapbap @SoYaap! @pdlouche
My mum gave me her old sewing machine as she never uses it anymore and I'm using to get into bag making. I've mostly been doing ripoffs of existing bags by reverse engineering them, most notably http://wizard.works Shazam and bagel bag. But I'm slowly getting to the point where I can at least mix different features and start thinking up my own stuff. I have plans (and orders from friends which is very daunting) for frame bags, top tube bags, a roll top backpack, totebags, little pouches, wallets, and a crossbody something. I'm figuring out a lot of design stuff with prototypes and practicing my stitching as I go.
Today was spent trying new presser feet I got and the button hole feature of my sewing machine. I've bought a rolled hem foot and a bias tape feeding foot to neaten up my edges, but so far it doesn't seem to be a huge upgrade over doing it by hand. Hope to get a bit more feel for it as I use them more and can incorporate them into actual bags.
Up until now virtually everything has been done out of cheap fabric left over from a study project. I have ordered a bunch of nicer fabrics (X-pac and cordura) but don't want to waste them on shit prototypes. I'll probably take plunge sometime soon though.

Most of my life I always rode cheap bikes, but in 2009 the first MASH film changed my life.

I think rolling resistance is determined by the amount of energy lost in deforming the tyre, would answer most of these questions. Smaller contact patch = less deforming, soft tyre= supple tyre conforms easier, thinner tyre = less deforming.
I'll wait for tester to explain why I'm wrong.

I'll pass then, GLWS.
