>".. my knee is only slightly bent"
This is your problem right here...

But spoke reflectors throw the wheels out of balance.

>remove shitty plastic pieces that do nothing and ruin aesthetics
>add on a quality light if you ride in anything other than the daylight

Reflectors and dork discs come off ASAP on a new or new to me bike.

>>1102942
Why? dork disc is there for a good reason.

Raise the saddle to proper height
Clean and lube the chain
Check if the brakes are working properly
Learn how to shift gears

Other than that, don't worry and just go ride.

Blue and silver looks good. I would buy that, yes. Then after riding it for a month or so, see if you want to change the saddle. Or maybe the handlebars. Wear the back tires until its bald, rotate the front to back, and get a Schawlbe Big Apple

>>1102725

what he said.

apart from that that's basically the perfekt bike for you.

Giro quarter, pretty comfortable. I don't have aby other cycling helmets, so I can't really compare it to anything.

Best helmet I've ever used was the specialized prevail. Super cool and comfy and very simple straps, although that means there's little adjustment which can be annoying

There's one NTSB uses for training.

>do they stick it in some warehouse for all of eternity or do they just dump it?
They have to stick it in a warehouse to hide the fact that jet engines don't exist
The entire air industry is part of the conspiracy to hide the fact that the earth is flat
When you board a plane, it goes into a tunnel under the earth to take you to your destination
Looking out the window, you just see a giant tv screen that makes it look like you're flying over a curved earth

Pan Am 103 is in a a scrapyard in Lincolnshire

Why was he going so slowly

>vehicles typically go faster, kill people, rarely face charges
At least he didn't take a plea in this politically motivated bullshit, like that guy in SF. The average pedestrian has less sense than animals when it comes to crossing the road.

The contention is that it's the law in Britbongistan to have two brakes on bikes. It resulted in death and as such there's criminal liability.

>"we should build a road right through this fucking board and fill it up with /o/tists."

probably something along the lines of "oy vey"

"We should implement small posting bridges to deter those blacks from posting here."

The Virginian has an interesting history. Started by a millionaire and an engineer. Grades were so extreme they had to run electrics on certain parts of the main line.

BC Rail: GF6C's that ran on the Tumbler Ridge branchline They never should have scrapped them.

The MILW also had some electrics that were interesting.

I actually like his videos especially that series.

It was purposefully killed as part of the US Oil industry pushing suburbs and personal automobiles.
Nothing was wrong it it, it was just killed on purpose.

Picture of the brake pad in case it helps

1. Clean it and the rim with degreaser to get oil off.
2. Replace the pad

Those are the operations you should do to fix the pad.

>>1102460
can you recommend a kinda diy degreaser?
I live in dorms atm so my options are limited

Thinking about like soapy water or diswasher
