what role do you like?
>>2081251Lead dawg here, love farting.
One of these is a gravel bike.One of these is a road bike.What is the difference, exactly?
>>2081409Slacken
>>2081414Did you feel a noticeable difference?
>>2081418No lol i mean, it's a gravel bike, not dh, and it's not even actual 2°; it's somewhat less because it lower the front due to the geometry change. Then again, it's now a fixed fork instead of suspension, so not really comparable
>>2079890You can't tell the diff b/c ur a broke ass pour w/ no taste
I transformed my bald-tired 700c Puch into a Gravel Bike by strapping an engine to it and using it as a dirt bike (i get flexed on by KLRs with knobbies on them every day)

>>2082151I had that happen and it was dirt between the square taper surfaces. Have you completely removed them and cleaned them?
>>2081277wtf no, put that money towards a new bike instead of buying a clapped out pos that will cost you way more in replacement parts.>>2081353yes, they attach to the wheel the same way.
>>2082151pedal, not peddle
no wonder the thread is so slow.we hit bump limit a while ago
>conti gp5k won't sit straightthat's annoying. I pumped it up to 8 bars, hope it solves itself overnight.I'll try again in daylight. I'm out of sealant though
Just saw this Japanese train sim about to come out and it looks pretty kino. Got me thinking about other vidyas that might appeal to regulars here.Some that I enjoy>American/Euro truck simulator>OpenTTD>SimRail>Flight Simulator>Bus boundI never found any cycling games that really scratched the itch, either too arcadey or boring race team management stuff. Would quite like an open world to cycle around, with ability to spec bikes, train avatar fitness and maybe set up some touring or bike packing trips.Feel free to share any more
>>2080050looks bretty cool. I wish games didn't all have totally soulless UI elements anymore though.
>>2080109I can forgive train autists for not being UX autists
What's the consensus on sidestands for rail sims? Would you get the EMD or GE stand?
Will anyone be picking this up when it comes out in a month?I have never played any other games in this series but I am somewhat interested. I've only played cities skylines and hundreds of hours of rollercoaster tycoon.>>2080110I don't think he's even talking about "UX" as such, he's talking about every game now just using the most bland, soul sucking flat UI that looks like it's trying as hard as possible to make every icon and screen look exactly the same. If you look at autist games of the past like transport tycoon or sim city there are colourful icons everywhere, it would make any "UX designer" puke but that's why it's good.
>>2079080I've bought simrail recently but the traxx having this retarded ass "hold to increase" control setup is very jarring. It's uncomfortable whether I drive with keyboard or mouse.
Old thread from 2023 finally hit bump limit >>1955863New thread. "Cycling infrastructure" is harm reduction. But not in the way you probably think. The anti-bike crowd considers riding a bicycle on public roads as an offense against the interests of motorists. An so, they wish to create infrastructure to reduce cycling (harm). Yes! Those who advocate for "separate but equal" are (whether they admit it or not) working against the interests of bicycle users:-The American Automobile Association strongly supports bike lanes-Countries that place responsibility on car drivers have 70-90% fewer fatalities per billion km traveled by bike. This is of course beyond the pale, drivers must always have total immunity. But hey, look, green paint! We solved safety!-The true purpose of bike lanes is to neutralize the opposition by corrupting the discourse. Don't support bike lanes? Then you must not care about safety!-Bike lanes have a curious pattern of appearing where they are superfluous, and vanishing as you approach potential traffic conflict zones. This way, when you get run over by a dump truck making a turn, it's your fault! You shoulda been in the bike lane that wasn't there!In conclusion: bike lane activists hate cyclists and want to eradicate cycling as a form of transportation.
>>2081433>There are both retarded cyclists and motoristsAll the more reason to keep these two groups separate
>>2081095>constantly switching to neutral when braking or going down slopes and going through several lower gears when quickly starting from a stop without stallingNot an issue unless you're retarded
>>2081753>motorizedNot a bicycleYoure a vagrant on a scootie Not cool enough for a motorcycleNot smart enough for a bicycleThe worst of all worlds, reserved only for subhuman scum
>>2081790>Not broke enough for a bicycleftfy
>>2081790but I am obviously the smartest person on the road, and therefore the richest
Things are looking grim
>>2081598JR East said the payment card is evolving beyond being for transit and small payments, becoming a lifestyle card, for which the new mascot will be used to convey its larger role in Japanese society.
>>2081797>to convey its larger role in Japanese society.why not a bigger, more serious penguin?
>>2081598You know, I think I'm starting to like the mole mom now that I've seen her smile, she's charming. Squirrell is the safe but boring choice, and the purple thing would be very funny.
I'd go with a Japanese macaque. It's a native species and can convey a wide range of emotions.
>>2081598y tho?
Is there still a fixie subculture anywhere out there, or am I showing my age? Im still enamored with the whole “fixie punk” aesthetic. Considering jumping back on social media is there are still people doing this. But I realize its a niche subculture from the early 2000’s thats been made fun of since day 1.
>>2079485I still do that shit on my way home from work sometimes, it's not the same when you're alone though>>2079939wait you're right that's even hotter>ywn get your skull crushed by some 1k+ watt track racer thighs>>2079940>slips estrogen in your bidon
>>2033562There is, and it's weird.Fixies are fun tho
>>2081620Is that Bob Dobbs?
>>2035606cuz people have no fucking lives whatsoever and the only way they can get pleasure and identity and meaning is to find some random niche hobby that makes them feel unique and important and better than others
>>2081627yes
post thr modt beautiful train station from all over the world.if you would like i would be happy to see your cities train station.

How retarded would it be to buy one of these as a first purchase? I will get a tailwheel cert before I do. The Champ has always been a favorite of mine.
>not building your own
>>2079153>What is so bad about the Taylorcraft anyway?the most recently built one was built in 19511951...
>>2079678I would be more concerned about maintenance logs and TTAF>>2079676Peter is a genius... I am not, I am more like this Chinaman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIr-2dVZLQs
>>2079721>boomer logsmhm
What are the advantages of these things as opposed to, idk, a bus?
>>2057440A bus only gets your elected politician a few K at most to sway the purchasing contract. That monstrosity gets them millions for funneling billions of tax dollars to their totally not mob construction buddies.
>>2078700and a trolley goes CLANG CLANG CLANGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwP6kNIDg30
>>2057512Where I live the rails were put there in simpler more communist times, so technically they were free.
>>2057440easy. they're simply cooler
>>2057440When I worked at Telstra in Melbourne, my boomer coworkers always hated trams with a passion.>you could fit 3 more cars in there!!How many people does a tram carry?
Silly /n/ things that happened to you.In high school my dad was messing around with his air compressor after school. He offered to pump my tire up for some reason, and I agreed. So this guy starts pumping my tire up and walks away and does some other nonsense and he blows my tire up. He never learned how to replace it so eventually he just threw it out one day, and I had to walk to school for a year afterwards. Never have an actual sperg as a father bros
>>2080961My dad didn't know it and neither did I, i was a dumb normalfag who relied on others until a couple years ago
>>2081023is your mother also retarded?
>>2081028Dude my mom was poor she didn't have a bike
>>2081023>Was'Fraid you still are, my boy.
>>2080961i was so autistic in high school, my bike broke down while riding it and i managed to fix it on the spot and caught the train on time and showed up to school full of black grease everywheregood memories, i miss riding my bike in my tiny shithole town i grew up in, but there is no way i am driving a bike where i live now, i am going to be slaughtered
A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/german-teenager-left-parents-home-to-live-exclusively-on-trains-for-the-last-year-and-a-half.htmlhttps://www.businessinsider.de/leben/bahncard100-17-jaehriger-lebt-seit-jahr-2022-in-den-zuegen-der-bahn/

SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.
>>2016134brown
They called it the unsinkable thread
>>2015994Why don't they just restore it? It looks in better shape than the USS Lincoln.
>>2081260It's not. And no one wants to spend the money. Shitty bait, btw. ;-)

yeWax or Oil?What do YOU like better?I don't wanna listen to the youtube silca shills
this is what's currently on my chain
>>2058501It's not made by Park Tool so it would never work.
I'm a mechanical engineer and mechanic. I've been using SAE single grade oils my whole life for both motorcycle and bicycle chains. Usually I use SAE 50, but SAE 30 to SAE 80 works well. SAE 30 is not very viscous in the summer (it's like canola oil), but it's perfect during winter. Likewise, SAE 80 is very viscous and works quite well in the summer.But unless you are a detail oriented freak, tailoring your oil based on the season isn't that important. Sure, technically:- lighter oils lubricate better, get into tighter spots, but tend to fling off faster- heavier oils lubricate somewhat less but stay on for longer.But you have to buy two types of oils then. And for a bicycle, you're not gonna wear out your chain unless you're doing 200km/week. Buy 10L of SAE 50 and stick with it, that's my recommendation.For motorcycles, it does pay off to have two different viscosities because motorcycle chains wear out do way more miles that your typical bicycle. Otherwise, just grab a bottle of SAE 50 and you're good. Or even use left over engine oil from your car. Any motor oil works, really.
>>2081319>unless you're doing 200km/weekone big ride or two normal rides? up the volume i use 5W-30 or 15W-40, works fine for me
>>2076103>WaxAsk protourists, etc. (Haven't tried yet, btw)
