>>2069865kinked cable or housing?cable not seated properly on either end?
>>2069874Your problem kinda sounds like you're just not getting the inside mechanism in the position of having released all the cable (the smallest chainring position). You're saying you've tried pulling on the cable as you shift to 1 (smallest chainring). I ran into this problem a few times when first installing shifters. If it's not this then somehow your cable bolt in the FD is getting loose. I had that problem recently and after closely examining it I saw i had a fucking loose helicoil installed and the bolt would just loosen with time.
>>2069877And i dont think about you at all? Lmao
>>2069882because I'm anon and unknown to you.you're the retarded /o/tist who came to this board and immediately posted his life story and was a prick to everyone, then he posted his bike so now we'll always know it belongs to an offboarder gaywad.

Thinly veiled e-bike containment thread.I bought a Tern Orox to prepare for the Australian madmax fuel apocalypse. Did I fuck up? What else should I have looked at for a cargo hauler with decent range and the ability to ride poorly maintained outback roads?
>>2069831I like my electric trike because of the comfort and cargo capacity but it sucks on narrow sidewalks.
Hey bros I just bought an aventon level 3 did I fuck up? panic bought because of gas prices. I'm honestly just fucking sick of paying out the nose for gas I should have ordered it a long time ago
>>2069852The best point of a trike is that in can ride slowly. I just drive slow over rough terrain or narrow paths.
considering just getting a class 1 instead of a faggier motorcycle/trike that people drive on sidewalksgetting kind of annoyed by how expensive they seem to be though

>>2069844land yachty, but stable. no good way to unweight over bumps. calf, back of thigh and ass muscle activation, not much quad use. starting from a full stop is awful, maintaining speed is okay. soon i will be replacing the grip shifters and getting that extra cabling under control.
>>2069859so... why ride it at all, then? what advantages are there?
>>2069861Why does there have to be advantages? Why can't it just be fun?
>>2069872ok, so the advantage is fun. could you elaborate on that?as of long as it's worth it to you. it's neat looking but I just couldn't understand from your initial answer, the differences you listed were all negative.
>>2069876You're actually autistic aren't you?
Anyone else feels like absolute shit after crashing? it's not even the pain of it it's just the faith in your ability slowly dying inside. When I was younger it was whatever but now it feels like someone chipped away a chunk of confidence.
>>2044901Never been depressed by it. More like seething rage.Because first bike crash was when I was a 12y.o. kid riding my bike, car speeding through out residential area, I stopped just in time to not be hit by the car but I went to the ground getting scrapped up pretty bad and the car crunched my bike.He tried to sue my mom for it, for supposed "damage" to his car. Mom had to go to police who told him off and the whole thing was dropped. Second time was last year an eBike rider doing over 30mph in the sidewalk (where bicycles are allowed) was paying attention to his phone, and despite my best effort to avoid him, he crashed into me and destroyed my bike and left me bleeding nd wounded in the grass ditch and he ran away.
>>2069419and then everyone clapped

>be me >on a one-way bike lane adjacent to another one-way bike lane for opposing traffic>there is a spot to rest to the left of me across the other lane>I look ahead of me, it's clear>I look over my shoulder, there's a e-bike (because of course it's an e-bike) about 15 yards behind me in my current lane>"okay looks clear">go to turn left across the other lane>e-bike behind me by sheer luck goes to pass my left as soon as I turn left>we try to avoid eachother>crash>now my finger is fucked upI don't even know who was in the wrong but there were other people at the scene who seemed to think it was the e-biker. Keep in mind this particular bike lane had a 10mph speed limit but nobody actually follows it anyways, not even regular non-ebikers. Now I think it's probably going to be months before I show my face there again
>>2044901fuck yes. I had a repaired front tube fail* and ate shit on a paved turn full of gravel. at least I think that's what happened. road rash on hands elbows knees and face. didn't have facilities so washed them out with hand sanitizer. replaced everything but never trusted the bike again and wound up selling it for a song because I could never be comfortable on it again.*at least I think that is what happened, I went downhill at speed to a T coming from the post and the tire folded over off the rim, the front end went sideways at the turn. I really don't know if it was half flat and I somehow didn't notice or if it burst or just folded and then lost pressure. regardless I was never comfortable on it again and haven't been on an upright since.

Two separate bad news regarding JR Hokkaidohttps://www.hokkaido-np.co.jp/article/1296868/ (paywalled, picrel is an image of the physical newspaper)JR Hokkado demands vertical separation of 8 different sections>Soja Main Line north of Nayoro>Muroran Line from Iwamizawa to Numanohata>Nemuro Main Line from Takikawa to Furano and from Kushiro to Nemuro>the remaining portion of the Hidaka Line>the entirety of Furano Line, Kitahoku Line and Senmo Line>specific action plans and numbers that will be demanded are being decided right now>will be presented to local municipalities within this fiscal yearI can imagine at least some of these being shut down due to municipalities saying "The money we're already putting in is the most be can bear", and I hate that my prediction in >>2063194 is becoming more likely. I guess my plan to visit Tohoku this summer is getting warped northwards while the trains still run to Wakkanaihttps://www.jrhokkaido.co.jp/CM/Info/press/pdf/20260403_KO_hakodatesenmorido.pdf>portion of enbankment on the Hakodate Main Line slipped into the river running alongside itComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2069531>JR Hokkado demands vertical separation of 8 different sectionsI can imagine how it would go>Local government says no>JR Hokkaido not allowed to unilaterally cease service>nothing comes of it, JR keeps seething
>>2069619>>2069619This is cope. All JR Hokkaido has to do is wait for the inevitable next typhoon to wash away the tracks, refuse to fix them unless the local government pays up, and then close the line after years of bus substitution like they did with the Hidaka line and the Furano - Shintoku section of the Nemuro main line.
https://x.com/DekaiMokei/status/2040987590552355058A railfan pinged the JR West reservation service every day in March with a same-day reservation request, and here are the occupancy rates for Sunrise Izumo/Seto:>down(to Izumo/Takamatsu)>both 99,8%>both had exactly 6 times across the entire month ANY seat(whether nobi-nobi or room-type) was available on departure day>up(to Tokyo)>Izumo 99,1%>Seto 99,0%JR West would have to be unfathomably retarded to not work on a new sleeper to replace the aging 285 series. The demand is there, I'd even argue there's enough demand to make two standalone 10 car sets instead of the 7+7 splitting Izumo/Seto, or a non-splitting Izumo and a splitting Seto/new sleeper(Tottori?) since apparently there's people who miss out on Sunrise Izumo, book Sunrise Seto to Okayama, and then continue to Izumoshi station on a Yakumo limited express.
>>2069853can they add another shower on the replacement
Ocean liner fans rejoice! The Queen Mary reopened for hotel guests in May and in June, I had the privilege of spending two nights on board. I'll be uploading my album of the ship over the next few days and discussing the history of the ship that I learned while onboard.

Because of that orange pig, our country's aviation industry is on the brink of collapse. I'd be happy if a terrorist attack like 9/11 happened in Washington.
>>2069569On the one hand I wish them all a very happy die in a fireball, however remember that 9/11 caused total air travel shutdown for awhile.
>>2069569>orange man bait>aviation on brink of collapseIs this about the ATC faggotry or the fact that having a pulse is not enough to get a job at Mesa anymore? The ATC issues started with Obongo changing the hiring standards for ATC and thus dicked controllers for the following decade. If you're mad about the fact you can't get a job, it's always been this way. Aviation has always had more pilots than jobs, sorry you fell for a couple ads and spent $200k on your ratings, better luck next time kid.
>>2069764The job market is not bad for pilots. Idk about other parts of aviation though.
>>2069767That's what I'm saying
>you will never quit your job as a middle aged man, move to bumkfuck nowhere, and drive trains for a living
It became a movie precisely because it’s such a rare case. It’s just like Hanks’ *The Terminal*.
>>2069622Believe it or not, you can do this right now. Except it will be freight trains, and its not very romantic. It does pay very well though.
>>2069622Thank you for the movie recommendation.
>>2069622>wanna get a comfy subway driver job>good working hours, good benefits and vacation days, decent enough pay, don't have to move to bumfuck nowhere and can stay in the city>they started boasting about autonomous trains on the lines in the last year so it'll all be gone in a decaderip

>>2068359First contracts are always the hardest to get, try mailing your CV to any crewing agencies (Vships, Trident Maritime, OSM Thome) and also crewing matchmaking websites (MaritimeZone, Yotspot if you are into yatching) (be aware of who you send your data and keep an eye on potential scamers, this is getting out of hand D:).And if you made contacts, use them!! Its always worth the try.How much it will take to get a contract and how long it will be will depend mainly on your CITIZENSHIP (sad but true), and after that rank, flag of the ship and employer... The filipinos on my ship usually do up to 8 months OB without taking into account their experience. Other nationalities (moroccans, hondurans, eu-citizens, ukranians) normally do between 2 to 4 months.

>31 Year old Brit with nothing going for himBe brutally honest /n/, how is the market looking for UK engineering officers? I've been looking at it for a while, but circumstances meant I couldn't until this year. The idea of going through those 3 years only to result in fuck-all jobs is the only thing giving me pause
>2nd Mate going back to MSC from AMO because there were no jobs on the board and I was tired of sailing 3rd (no advancement on my tanker)>in a bunch of MSC training classes and meet the MARAD AMO guys>turns out all the fun AMO jobs are strictly off-board and depends on who you know >seething that I couldn’t get on a T-AGOS and do something cool, cause these MARAD guys are telling me “oh yeah we actually do have 2/m and 3/mjobs but we just don’t put them on the board loool>already got my big bonus and signed for 3 years with MSC so I just have to sit here and take it as we go to war with Iran>thinking I got fucked>then I start hearing that the AMO board has gotten worse and it’s over half a year for a job>and an AMO ship in the TSP was chased by Iran and then got a fire on their ship because their dry dock in the Middle East was getting raped, ended up evacuating >Jones Act is being waived for 2 months is probably a test run for a more permanent fucking-over of the industry >AMO just lost the T-AGOS contract and never got some other contracts it swore it would get, and just keeps going downhillMaybe this was all for the best
Why are trainfags obsessed with HSR when 99% of mechanized passenger travel is local.
>>2069612>trains would get there too if they had routes that got popular you better believe they'd be cramming people into cars and would make it as gay as airtravel.no HSR in the world has the security theatre that plane travel does
>>2069613if it was as popular as air travel, it would be two ragheads away from some dog and pony show security theater take-your-laptop-out extravaganza.
>>2069612From what I have seen there are basically two distinct breeds of train autist, the freight and heritage train autist, and the urbanist autist that only likes modern passenger infrastructure, and they rarely interact with each other.

How is this guy alive? First one or two videos I watched, I thought he was just going for (You)s but they just get worse and worse. The only way this makes sense is if he has terminal cancer and he wants to die riding a bike and not in a hospital bed.
