I own 5 cars
I think i like wrenching on bikes and disassembling and rebuilding and just thinkering with them more than i like actually riding them. I like to ride, but, the thrill of getting new parts or even used parts, putting on the bike, staring at it and patting yourself on the back saying "good work" is easier to get than the thrill of doing a long ride fast. >>2009597I know the feeling anon, in 2019 i rode my first Audax and i was climbing a very steep hill on my shit entry level road bike that had only a 53 ring on the front and while i was passing this sweet older lady she looked at my chainring and said i was very strong. To this day it's the single most motivating thing i've heard as a cyclist
I look at working on my bike like a homo trying to do rape correction. I hate every minute of it, if it had a machine spirit it would hate every minute of it, but the result is a man-machine bond stronger than even Two Men.But the moment anything doesn't feel right while I ride I loathe the machine and dread working on it, actually doing the work fucking sucks, but there is an almost lustful pang of satisfaction once it all works out.

>>2061401nta but I can flip into toe-clips as quickly and reliably as I can get into clipless. this comes only after long practice, but if you're new to it some of the MKS pedals have enormous flip tabs.
>>2061584Jesus sometimes things are easy and you just can't get your head around itHow do you make that work with regular pedals and straps without clips though?

>>2061337That BER comparison is getting more apt with each passing year.On a lighter note, the Berlin Senator for Traffic and Mobility has finally figured out what is holding the BER back from becoming an international airline hub: the lack of a third runway.
>>2061462Who in his right fucking mind would operate flights from this fucking country whose politicians want your company to fucking die?...and from >Berlin of all places.
>>2061462I really doubt that there's a lack of slots for a couple of more long distance flights at BER. air berlin wasn't profitable back in the days.on the rail side of notes, thanks to the opening of the Dresdner Bahn, the train between Berlin Hauptbahnhof and BER airport is now much quicker. take that Munich and MUC, where's your Ede Stoiber Transrapid now?
It's insane how much noisier it got over just like one decade. I remember back in the 00s in the morning you could almost whisper with an almost full tram. Most where either still dozing off, looking out of the windows or reading newspaper. Now there are many super loud [redacted] talking loudly even when facing another, retards watching Tiktok over speaker instead of headphones, people talking into their phone while holding the phone 1m away from them with speaker on etc. Trams also rattle, clatter and squeal way more. Many feel like they're about to fall apart. It wasn't that bad at all back then. Basically you must have tight headphones on to fade it all out or you'll go insane.

>>2061561It sounds matched to speed over ground, which is why I suspect it's the wheel. I can't tell anything spinning it freely when lifted off the ground because I'm half-blind.
>>2061562Without spinning the wheel, check for play in the rear wheel by moving the rim perpendicular to the direction of regular wheel movement. It should not have any play, if there is, it's a bearing problem. Then pluck each spoke like it's a guitar string, check the tension and hear it ring, any bad spokes will sound weird. Other than that, make sure the tire is mounted to the wheel correctly then make sure the wheel is mounted to the bike correctly. I don't think it could be the chain or heard since you believe it's speed dependent instead of rpm

Building a bike with campy 11 speed groupsetIt seems that Shimano 11 speed cassettes have the same spacing to Campy 11 speed cassettes. But a few people say that it isn't "perfect" shifting but good enough.Is this true? I was looking forward to just buying shimano cassettes.
>>2061581jtek shiftmate compatibility charts comment on the question is that it can't be done. I'd tend to believe them by default. if you're building a meme gruppo just do it. if you want cheap and available cogs, just don't.
A few years ago people starting referring to certain China wheelsets as not just "the best Chinese wheels" or "the best budget wheels" but simply "the best wheels". This year, Winspace released the T1600, a CDM (Chinese Domestic Market) product that costs more than a Madone or a Tarmac. It's UCI approved right out of the box (though you may need to tape some lead weights to it to get it to pass the weight restrictions). Western buyers need not apply, though they no doubt will try.Western brands were folding right and left before the iron curtain 2.0 was raised, now the "tiro de gracia" has been fired and big companies like Trek are going to go bankrupt because their supply chains have been cut off by Import Substitution Industrialization, a popular third world development tactic pioneered by visionaries like Pinochet and Galtieri.Is this the end of the western bike era? Will tomorrow's dentists settle for nothing less than Chinese bikes on 100% Chinese groupsets?
It's frustrating because I prefer the look of rim jobs but a decent set of rim brake alloy wheels is like $1000, I can get a better set of carbon wheels for less
DT Swiss finally came out with carbon spokes, for like $4000 lol. And they're heavier than the China rims.

low key been driving 10 years and im not sure who has to yield in this situation.Say you are at a red light and the light just turned green. does car 1 have to yield to the bus? or will the bus zipper in between 1 and 2?
>>2059963something exciting like professional racing or mere hooning, or possibly just something that would involve a lot more hours over those 10 years like driving a delivery or service vehicle as opposed to just his own passenger car.
>>2059946I think 1 has to proceed, 2 has to yield. 1 is already in his lane/direction of travel and has right of way, bus is merging in. 2 is far enough back that it should give way. But what a shitty fucking intersection holy shit nuke toronto please>>2060014>They would put up signs frequently that say "Must yield to bus" if they cared.some places do this and actually have signs on the buses themselves, sorta like how school buses have deployable stop signs (city bus ones are just bolted on the ass all the time though)
>>2059968>>2060060Total zoomer death. They are completely retarded.
>light turns green>bus driver activates the left-hand indicator, thus communicating to nearby drivers that he wishes to change lane>1 and 2, seeing the bus and its active indicator, then slow down a little to allow the bus to slide in depending on their relative positionsMust there be a rule for people to point to and interpret and quibble over? Why not just act as necessary in the moment to ensure everyone gets along?

After years of frustration, Toronto’s major LRT projects — the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West lines — are finally taking shape. The infrastructure is largely in place, testing is active, and the city is on the verge of a real step forward in how people move across it.The Crosstown will finally link east and west through midtown, while Finch West is basically a super streetcar in a poor area of the city. Is light rail still a legitimate form of transit, or were Doug and Rob correct with their subways subways subways mantra?
>>2060960
>>2060960It's true, the White people there are less self-hating and more protective of their heritage.
>>2061002> more protective of their heritage.Most all the things that we associate with Canadian culture are from Quebec, including (but not limited to): Maple Syrup, Hockey, Poutine, Tuques, Bilingualism (duh), Skidoos, Fucking natives and/or fucking them over and learning them some Christianity, and William Shatner
>>2061044Yeah, because Anglos have been brainwashed into rejecting their heritage and merely consoooming for generations. The only people I see flying their actual flag in this country are Acadians. Everyone else just flies the Canadian flag as if it represents anything other than compliance.

How big can sail boats get? Is there an upper limit?
>>2061256>Stepped multi-sectioned masts are a 16th century technology, emerging from the Dutch and their flyut trade fleet.Yeah but arent segmented masts more susceptible to a "tyranny of the rocket" problem in that the taller the mast the more of its own weight it needs to support and a contiguous piece of timber thus has a greater strength to weight ratio?
>>2061533You should vomit, I wish that for you. What I imagine your taste is like should be realised.
>>2061055.If the Earth is a flat one or that even if the Earth is round, and that the ship is built on space, then there's no upper limit. One thing is for sure in a spherical shape world, there's a limit if when built in a globe earth, a sensible normal, and the right scientifial limit.

are there any current or former CFI here that can describe what it is like being one, how your mindset changes after no longer being "in training" (I know there is still much more training but you know what I mean), if there is any time for life outside of work, if you can even still go to the gym and have friends and stuff.
>>2061444>how your mindset changes after no longer being "in training"you just have to get used to it. You won't know what you're doing for your first 100 hours given. But after a while, you kind of just get the hang of it.>if there is any time for life outside of workif you are trying to get your hours quickly, then absolutely not. >if you can even still go to the gym and have friends and stuff.same answer as above
>>2061444First month feels like you're failing a check ride every day if you're not confident in your knowledge, students hit you with the same vague response most DPEs do so there's no reinforcement like there was in training.
