Changing flats without pinching the innertube
Adjusting brakes and tuning dereailers
Replacing chains and using quick links
REcabeling bikes

In that order, and that should take care of a majority of the issues you'll have to deal with.

Prey tell, how did you get a job in a field you know nothing about?

In this economy?

You're either a pretty girl with big tits (fat chance on 4chan) or a spoiled little shit who got the job handed to you.

Either way, fuck off.

There's no such thing as /n/ approved motorbikes

Ayy, got to fly again for the first time in six weeks. Clouds were overcast at 1000 but I managed.

Still have to wait another 3 weeks before I can fly, the chopper's got some mysterious tail rotor problem

Who are you people that you can afford aircrafts?

Now the twist to the story . . .

There's an interesting extension to the story about railroad gauges and horses' behinds. When we see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs might have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory had to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, the major design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a Horse's Ass!

Did you know that the size of a chair is determinated by the width of human ass? omg lol roflmao really makes you thing baka desu senpai

Nobody says four feet eight and a half inches.

You say 56.5 inches. Stop being a pleb foamer and learn the jargon.

Yeah but I don't like the MC being all like
>I put on these gloves so now I'm starting to look like a REAL CYCLIST
I've ridden in JP and saw more mommy-bikes with baskets than road bikes. Saw a bunch of dudes on bikes with small wheels, anything from 16"-26" but mostly 20" and a lot of folders.
So I don't get this shit, the guys making it are probably all french/italian bike enthusiasts that are way too romantic about bikes.

>>1025790
Did you ever see someone wearing a cycling skirt?

>So I don't get this shit, the guys making it are probably all french/italian bike enthusiasts that are way too romantic about bikes.
Was your first clue the fact that they produced an anime about road cycling?

Stop being such an insecure little bitch and do whatever you feel like. I sometimes wear my helmet when I commute, sometimes I don't. Who cares.

dont, let natural selection take its place.

>>1022146
>"taken seriously"
What the fuck, are you 12? You say 'campus' so I assume you're in college, but you're asking:
>will the other kids laugh at me if I wear a helmet?
For fuck's sake you're supposedly an adult now, what the hell do you care what someone else thinks?

You obviously want our 'permission' to do it, so here it is: Wear the damn helmet, it's a reasonable safety precaution. Now stop thinking like you're back in 6th grade and stop worrying about what the 'other kids' think.

I think it's because you look even dorkier on a recumbent

In my heart of hearts I know that riding a recumbent would be based but cars would NEVER see me unless you have a little flag, hopping curbs would be impossible, and I'm struggling for a third reason...storage would be an issue?

So get a BIG flag. And not just any flag, but the national flag. I remember seeing a guy on a recumbent with big ass fleur-de-lys.

That way, if a motorist hit you, you can say they hate your country and FREEDOM (if you're in burgerland).

Nice ride!

What model trek is that, 520?

Also, what tent, sleeping bag/mat system did you use? I've been hearing a lot of good things about quilts, but I have a perfectly servicable downbag that cost a fair bit.

It's a 2011 Trek 520.

Tent is a LL Bean Microlight FS2, pictured here with self-repaired pole near Cisco, UT. I won't say it's the lightest/best in the world, but they mailed a replacement pole to Vernal for me after I broke one, for free, which was nice.

I used a Trek TK II as my sleeping bag, with a dirt cheap, 3/4 length inflatable pad. A big reason I like the sleeping bag is that it unzips all the way, so it works as a blanket for hot evenings.

How did the hiking days work? Did you leave your bike in the middle of innawoods hoping you'll find it again or did you mean walking your bike days?

No
lolsofunneh stickers though, fuck that.

Decals are great, but if you're refinishing a frame it's totally okay to omit them if that's your style

This is a common issue for 1x although it's more of a thing for 1x11 rather than 1x10. There is no real solution AFAIK.

Are your gears set up and indexed properly and is your rear derailleur not bent?
Check those things and maybe chain length or b tension could be issues too.
If it's none of those things, I'm stumped champ.
Best of luck anon.

Check your chainline!
your single chainring should be inline with the center of your cassette

If it's sitting outboard of that centerline, sure, the chain will want to fall outwards to the smaller cogs.

>>1037603
Where would you connect the train?

that looks really good, It would work with modern vectoring engines, imagine flying that beast over the city

>>1037316
Maybe if you stopped stuffing your fat disgusting face with shit junk food all day every day you wouldn't be such a fat piece of shit, OP. By the way why are you wasting our time with your shitpost about how fat you are? We really don't care, go be fat somewhere else, faggot.

>what could i power with a hub dynamo?
A love egg. You know you want to.

A couple dynamo lights also have a USB port so you can hook up one of those rechargable lithium packs.

When there is no load on the dynamo there is less drag, so there is a benefit to not generating power.

>>1036557
>Oh look it's THIS thread again
All dynamo hubs generate a MAXIMUM of 3 watts (6 volts at 500mA).
The output voltage varies with road speed therefore so does the total output power generated.
It's not enough to much of anything with other than run a single small headlight.
Most electronics won't tolerate the power going on and off when you start and stop, or how variable the voltage is.
You couldn't even charge your phone from it because of the power starting, stopping, and varying so much.
The best you could do is charge a VERY SMALL battery pack, and unless you ride for hours and hours a day you won't charge it all the way.
Really, seriously, honestly, DO THE MATH, you'll discover everything I'm saying is true and that it's not worth the trouble and expense to add this to your bike, it won't do what you want it to do, it's just meant to run a headlight and that's ALL it's meant to do.

One thing you might want to try is a pace that puts your exertion quite a bit below what you'd normally do. Normally I ride with my HR in the 140s, but I've had several long rides where other people were bonking so my HR was high 120s at the slower pace. I rode a lower cadence and I found I didn't sweat as much or burn as much energy.

Longest I've done is 428 km in just under 24 hours elapsed time. This time of year you'll have more time riding in the dark than I did.

>>1036028

that's pretty impressive.
did you train up to this or did you just go for it.
I'm working up to 120km right now. nutrition is holding me back mostly.

do you just keep eating bananas as you go in fixed intervalls ?
do you use any kind of additive to your water ?

I've been thinking, a drink high in carbs and maybe some protein would be great

>>1036086
I've been doing 200 and 300 brevets for a few years before my first 400 and had a 200 and two 300s done in the weeks leading up to the 400.

For solo rides up to about 160 km I usually just bring some bottles of high calorie Ensure (355 calories in a 235 ml bottle). Drinking one after 1.5 - 2 hours then another ever hour after that. Eating smaller amounts at a shorter interval would probably be better, but I never get around figuring out what a convenient on bike food would be.

Doing brevets with a group we stop a few times at restaurants so I don't carry as much, but I like to eat something just before a restaurant stop due to the digestion lag between when you eat and when those calories kick in. I mostly just use plain water, though I might pick up a sport drink along the way to mix things up.
