In Peking. Like much of what was German way, way back.
You can't "save the planet" and have a healthy industry, apparently.
Socialism kills everything standing in its way, which is usually people wanting to do anything against the will of their Godfather, the state.
That's why the Chinese version of capitalism wins against the German version of socialism.

Come on. After years of the propaganda on TV and in the press, who the fuck could expect a regular winter?
Anyone doing so would be considering a "climate change denier" and "anti-science".

The solution to extend the usability of tickets to a whole year is the best thing DB could do in this situation.
There is a lot of total nonsense happening in the Konzern, but this was a decent handling.

Yeah he's either retarded or having you on. .25% is fucking nothing.

Usually I'll leave my chains til either 1% or if they snap. Then ((IF)) the new chain skips on the cassette replace that. Never had to swap out jockey wheels or chainsets or anything, the units typically fail somewhere else before it becomes noticeable.

Shop guys are fucking insufferable for the most part. Either booger eating fetuses who's last time on wheels was in a pram, or turbo tards who throw a hissy fit at any sign of someone actually using their bike as intended.

kek. Respect the hustle.

I recently bought myself a gravel bike, and I think I made a mistake with the size choice. I'm 178 centimeters tall, and I bought size L. I chose the bike for bikepacking trips. Please tell me, how badly did I mess up, and is there anything that can be done?

I already tried replacing the 80 mm stem with a 70 mm one with a 35-degree rise, but it's still uncomfortable.

If I move the saddle forward, my arms get tired; if I move it back, there's pressure on my crotch.

I don't know what to do. Bike was really expensive, and I am really upset.

Why? Look at the Effective top tube height, that's really long.

I'm 181cm and my bikes are usually either Large/53-54cm top tube length and it still feels like it's too large for me. I also apparently have weird proportions (shorter legs/long torso) which makes the exposed seatpost really short.

Try buying compact dropbars (short reach) or 0 offset seatpost.

Long story short, try out the bike before buying it.

What about rotors? There are several ships which use them. Can those sail upwind?
>>
>>2062043
iirc Flettener Rotors work best when sailing upwind but need to be powered, so are more for providing modest fuel savings rather than 100% of the propulsive power like youd get with a more conventional sailing rig
>>
>>2061055
The problem with sailing ships is that you can't stack containers on the deck. They would have to be xbox-huge to offset that drawback. Technically, it's not that big of a deal, but practically it will cause some issues. Upper limit is dictated by the layout of harbors, bridges, etc.

i've never heard of it by that name but it's pretty well known that it's a thing. people even joke that you have to keep bathroom stalls clean because once the first child draws a little stick man in there, it's fucking over

conversely, if you get some particularly talented vandal to just do a huge mural, vandals are less likely to write over it, and sticker-bombing stuff or even hanging shitloads of flyers is a good way to at least keep vandalism PG/limited to further being just people slapping stickers for their home businesses instead of scribbling GAIUS WAS HERE AND IS NOW A HOMO WITH HIS BEST BRO AULUS. and again many cities have designated tag walls specifically to contain vandalism/reduce hood nigga nonsense since even hood niggas seeing a well done mural of a local pop star or something wont tag over it (much)

If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.

If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.

I usually just get really mad after a crash because if anything breaks you gotta walk from there, and walking a bike sucks

it also feels like i only ever take a spill when i decide "nah conditions are good, i dont need 90kg of emergency gear today" and then have some catastrophic failure precisely halfway through, often when i have places to be as well and then i gotta call in saying I'll be late and shit and there's so many more embarrassing follow-on effects than just breaking one thing and getting some ouchies

The end of ebike terrorism is in sight. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch, but I'm tentatively feeling hopefully about this. During the time that the last thread was up, hundreds of people were killed by ebike fires. We need to put a stop to this. I just hope they make sure to add prison time for people caught with unlicensed ebikes.

In olden times arsonists were publicly burned alive once captured.

why are lolberts and /pol/tards obsessed with the vaporwave-adjacent "VHS aesthetic" and yet so incapable of actually capturing it properly

30 years after Mavic Zap, I finally tried three different bikes with electronic shifting (Rival, Force, and Red/XPLR) and it reminded me of the first time I got my dick sucked. It was alright. I'm glad I experienced it. But the overall feeling was like.... "that's all? that's what all the hype was about?"

I am glad it's a thing, I'm glad it's available, I would never tell them to un-invent it. I suppose if you offered to upgrade my current bikes with all electronic I'd probably go for it (might have to think it through first). Overall, it was a disappointment.

So what did I miss here? Is Shimano better or Campy maybe, was the problem fookin SRAM? Is it less about the ride and more the long term ownership experience, the maintenance perhaps? Why do people fork out 2-3x the monies over the cost of perfectly good mech shifting? I can't believe I'm even saying "perfectly good (old thing)". I love my hydro dicks, I love my crabon wheels, I would never go back and those were worth every penny, but the e-shifting was a big letdown. Again, it was fine, but just fine. For all the hype I expected to ejaculate instantly.

>he doesn't know
the entire point of those hanger-less electronic shifters is to have it in a standardized position against the wheel so that you don't need to adjust anything, you can just shove it in there and it'll shift out of the box. there's a reason there are no hanger-less cable derailleurs, it makes no sense.

>there's a reason there are no hanger-less cable derailleurs, it makes no sense.

Eagle 70 and 90 are both full mount mech derailleurs. Direct mount has nothing to do with electronic shifting and the reason we aren't seeing more full mount groups is because SRAM doesn't let other companies fully utilize it. Even if you dislike full mount UDH is a great thing because it forces all manufacturers that want to use SRAM groupsets into using the same derailleur hanger.
