>i operate on a blah blah blah
you ride cage flats in WHITE TRAINERS you fuckin fred jr.

Paying registration would be a net positive for cyclists who train on or commute by road. As would mandatory training regarding safe road use.

>>1067546
This

3 days of sitting.

I'm doing a cross country Amtrak in three weeks. I plan on packing as much food as I can so I don't have to eat at the dining cart as much.

I'm going from DC to Seattle, what about you?

>>1067336
You're going to stop a lot for freight trains passing by.

You seem to be jelly.

When I'm that age I'll probably be making 3x what I'm making now and my retirement investments will have appreciated to the point where I won't give a shit about dropping a few bucks on a state-of-the-art crabbon bike with which to trigger jealous poor youngsters. I'm only in my 30s and already I love how mad people get because I have bike stuff I don't "need" because all you "need" is a busted 30 year old road bike with cracked brake housing and a fucking milk crate lashed to the upside down handlebars

10/10 approve and endorse

what movie OP?

frame material is surprisingly fine. everything else seems pretty low tier or unbranded. just get an equivalent bike from bikesdirect with a named groupset for the same price or cheaper.

There is literally no reason to use 650b wheels, caliper brakes and 1 inch steerers in this day and age, other than clearing out warehouses of outdated frames and components and marking them up for clueless hipsters.

>$875 26" single speed from unspecified cromo with a Brooks on top

for what why

>>1071118
b-but it looks like a real authentic practical city bike?! all those gears are confusing, what do you think I am lance armstrong? go take your gay lycra and your disc brakes back to the race track where it belongs. you can easily go over the bars with a front disc brakes you know. are you trying to get me killed?

You could get a friction shifter and then use any derailleur that you please. What sort of failure happened to the Deore?

>>1070615
Any Shimano 8-speed rear derailleur will work. SRAM will not work, because SRAM and Shimano rear derailleurs use different shift ratios, meaning that for a given amount of cable pull, the derailleur will move a different amount. Therefore, SRAM rear derailleurs only work with SRAM shifters, and Shimano rear derailleurs only work with Shimano shifters.
While going with the proper speed rear derailleur is often not entirely necessary, it's a good idea for optimal performance (and in some cases, it IS necessary), meaning you need an 8-speed derailleur. These are often marketed as "7/8 speed" meaning they are compatible with both 7-speed and 8-speed drive trains; this is perfectly acceptable.
If you want all the nerdy details, read this (if not, ignore this): http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-behind-the-magic/science-behind-the-magic-drivetrain-compatibility/

tl;dr your new derailleur must be:
>Shimano
>8-speed
Other details don't matter, just get whatever quality/pricepoint you want

>What sort of failure happened to the Deore?
an age of about 15 years, daily commuter duty with parking outside all the time and a very salty winter. Seems like it finally died, after something bent my chains and I didnt realize until I stepped in with full force. Sad.

Joke's on you, I have a car and a bicycle.

Working harder is for getting Di2, power meters, carbon wheelsets and Rapha.

>Ruining the fun of driving by constantly doing it at rush-hour, when you're stuck in traffic and worrying about work

Foolishness. My car is for long jaunts to exciting places and late-night synthwave zen sessions.

>>1067372
30mph sustained on a path like that would be pretty pro Tbh.

>>1067374
I do 40 without breaking a sweat

>>1067372
Keep your stupid dog on a leash and keep them under control, you fat fuck.

I think if you have under a hundred bucks to spend on transportation, the best bet would be to get some decent shoes or something. Skip everything with wheels at that price point.

>adult scooters
scooters are for children and old people
>too big
what is too big? you or the bike?

also, what a fucking garbage colour scheme. CALIFORNIA HAS RED AND WHITE IN THEIR FLAG

There is no excuse for those colours!

Also reading it'll also use non-high speed rail lines as well in parts of the layout meaning it won't be able to go fast there anyway

>>1053689
It is literally under construction and they are laying track in the Central Valley.

Is it a "Signal repeater" or "Repeater"?

>>1070835
So basically a distant signal in US parlance? I'm not the OP but that's what it sounds like to me.

Ultra sport II is reasonably quick, not particularly heavy, but not terribly puncture resistant. It's a tradeoff you make for a cheap tyre.

I'd personally go for a wider tyre, 32-38, something from near the top of here: http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/tour-reviews depending on the conditions you ride in. If there are thorns then the standard marathon/GT/plus might be necessary unless you want to spend all day changing tubes.

Narrower tyres are not fundamentally quicker than wider ones, and you lose a lot of suspension.

If you want to blow all the budget something like compass tyres are very quick and light.

>>1068420
I went with Conti Supersport plus, they tout it as a good commuter tire that is "nearly impenetrable" and reviews were positive, from what i saw. so that is good enough for me. worst case scenario i can always return it

>>1068420
I've been super pleased with the Compass tires that I have used - 700Cx35, 700Cx44, and 650Bx48. Most of them are out of stock right now, though :(

No need to create a new thread right after bump limit. This is a slow board.

Never understood the bump limit concept and the need of creating a new thread. I have been using the catalog+filter for searching posts for many years. And many times people got mad because I bumped ´´dead threads´´.

>>1049916
Because using the catalog means you're new

That's a pretty good price

I'd buy them and use them for events and during nice weather and keep the R500s as more "beater" type wheels

>>1070758
>Ksyriums
I got these last year, only a small difference from my cheapo shimano rs11 that came on my bike. Really the only thing I noticed is that I can coast a little longer

>>1070758
>Mavic Cosmic Elite

for 200 get them.mang

I put mine in my shed.

Some apartment complexes around here have rentable sheds, just big enough for a bike.

I carry my bike down 3 flights of stairs every morning, and up 3 flights every night

At work the elevator is usually working so I use that, but I've been known to use stairs (4 floors up)

I don't have any respect for people who treat their bike like garbage. There is no reason to do that, even if you don't have an expensive bike this is just basic care, like washing your hands after you use the toilet

>>1069901
Lucky fuck! I can't take my bike into work.

>>1069608
It would be heavy and act as a huge sail in a crosswind.
Just ride a car when it's raining.
