They get filtered out in a catalytic converter. Well, most. At less than 1000 miles per year it isn't much though. Why do you say it isn't much? Can you justify that statement A Honda Accord was once tested in that respect in Southern California, I believe near Los Angeles. This was a few years ago, not in the days when smog ruled down there. Still, what came out of the tail pipe was cleaner than the air that went into the engine. That is hilarious! Thanks My car always passes smog with flying colors, the measured values are a fraction of what is allowed. Last year I drove 757 miles. 4000 miles on the bikes. Just pointing out, you are not judging yourself by any absolute, but by comparison to others. Not saying that is wrong, but am saying that it is interesting. |

Good alternative to Ultima Replenisher electrolyte? (feedback)

For whatever reason the price for Ultima Replenisher (90-serving canisters) got jacked up, big time. We used to pay around $25 in bulk, now it's around $40 with shipping. We go through a lot. Are there alternatives of comparable quality but more reasonably priced? Orange flavor would be great but doesn't matter much, as long as it's not any funky or excessively sweet flavor. No artificial sweeteners. Some feedback: I bought "Electro Mix" from Emergen-C (Alacer Corp). About $10 for 30 pouches but those are for 1 liter each so a pouch makes two 500ml bottles. Therefore, much cheaper than Ultima ever was. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HWRY5S?th=1 It is also higher in potassium which is good for a hard ride. Taste is another matter ... blech ... totally bland, there is none. So my wife adds in a spritz of lemon juice. Though I don't mind the no-taste version because I just gulp it down to avoid cramps. It works. Of course, on many rides I have another much more tasty potassium source in addition: Beer :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Problem is that I can usually ride 40 miles without stopping and I can't take my hands off of the bars due to the medication. The last couple of times I've ridden I have stopped and had a couple of gulps at the beginning and end of the hard climbs. That helped but I still get cramps that night in bed. |

His wife's Cousin Jeb was visiting in their St. Louis home so the merchant decided it would be nice to take Jeb along with him to Texas. Be educational. Broaden Jeb's horizons. The two men checked in at a hotel in downtown Dallas and occupied adjoining rooms. The merchant, a worldly man, slept soundly and got up at seven o'clock. He opened the door to Jeb's room and found the country cousin fully dressed, sitting by the window. The bed had not been slept in. "Good Lord, Jeb," said the merchant, "haven't you been to bed?" "Nawp. Been settin' right here, watchin'. Folks in this town has fell behind in their haulin', and they been haulin' all night." |

Around here the hot rodders by-pass them in order to use straight pipes to let the world know they're around. I've yet to see one of them ticketed. |

I'd be very interested in a link documenting that. It's gone long ago, it was in a newspaper I read on a business trip. A reputable one. Even if there was a link it would probably be behind a pay wall. I can imagine that particulates might be reduced by the air filter, but CO, CO2 and NOx would be added, I'd think. CO2 is not harmful. CO and NOX are but those are miniscule with a well designed car these days. They measured the whole enchilada and added up the health risks of it all. AFAIR the largest benefit the car engine provided was burning off fine soot particles that would otherwise lodge deeply in the lungs and cause longterm damage. Of course, this car did not have a Diesel engine ... -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
