Clean the rim breaking surface with rubbing alcohol

Get a bike with a braking system from this century.

Not a huge external stylistic difference to the old trains, but six doors per car is nice.

I bent my wheel like an idiot, and this actually worked.

*wham* *wham* *wham*!

I have a steel frame with a more than slightly bent rear triangle
looked it up online already and got the tools, only thing that's holding me back from setting it straight right now is no access to a vise for the time being since a repair stand won't do it for this job

>>1018028
don't you have a workbench or is it just the vice that you're missing? there's movable vices for sale but those typically aren't as strong

$0.50 plastic calipers.

As much red as possible.

Everyone knows that red will just make you overheat quicker. Green is the way to go.

Orange for speed and teal to dissipate heat

wat is hier het nut van

>>1016412
die rare buitenlanders eens leren dat wielrennen geen fietsen is.

>>1016413
geef ze dan een engels equivalent voor wielrennen

Don't do it it makes mustard gas

Nice improvisation OP. FYI there's even a tool that makes doing this kind of rebending even easier to accomplish.

>>1013735

This is objectively the best way to straighten a fork. Too bad alot of you wont have a cager to help.

Why do you have a flatbar road bike if you already own a proper road bike? Genuine curiosity.

They're both proper road bikes, Anon. ;_;

But the flatbar one has full fenders and is equipped for wet weather riding. The other isn't, and has HED hubs that aren't really water proof.
Plus the flatbar bike is great for just cruising around the city and taking in the sights with a more relaxed riding position. Plus it's heavy so good for muscle building during the Winter.

Ultimately, though, it's the bike that made me fall in love with cycling and had it before I ""upgraded"" to the more efficient road bike, to cover more ground and go faster.

They also use them to film golf events, lol.

I think a solar powered airship might be cool when fuel prices get too high

I don't know why they aren't used more to capture overhead footage of sporting events, like F1, instead of using helecopters to be desu.

>>991680
Well, right away they take up a metric fuckton of space for a tiny cargo load. The Hindenburg carried about 100 passengers and crew at max, while a 737 a tenth of its size can carry the same amount. They're also very slow, and helium is expensive as hell.

wow bill a real scientific measurement. Better call the lawers

Because BART uses flat wheels. They're also so fucked with the times that they're treating tapered wheels as the best thing since sliced bread after discovering their existence only a short while ago.

Why is BART so fucking expensive yet they can't kick the homeless out of there?

>yfw cagers need electronic assistance not to murder everyone in their way

I think you're looking for >>>/o/

But to answer your question: the advances are numerous. The computational power alone is allowing ever more sensors and complex algorithms to be integrated.
I think the next big leap will be the communication between cars and themselves and the infrastructure itself.

>>1017619
Required on all cars since like 2012, compadre.

Jesus fuck, what was he doing there!?

Not as close as on my PPL flight test, but going different directions at very different speeds.. I'd have almost shat myself.

>>1017494
lord knows man. Thought I'd have a free day on my hands but most of it was spent filing the incident report

>>1017396
So did he try to turn and make it or kept going? Did he actually land there? I'm all about flying low and taking chances but fuckin up is absolutely embarrassing ....I'm curious what this guy did after

this was literally the dumbest thing i've read on this website, i'm not just saying this board the whole website so that's saying something you're trying entirely too hard and being entirely too obvious please do not ever post here again

>>1017129
Underrated post

>>1017144

Fuck off.

My 8 speed 105 shifters died and I replaced them with Microshift 8 speed shifters. Works fine so far. I think you're wrong though. I love campy/shimano stuff, sram can eat a dick since they're restricting sales to Australia

>>1016503
>Campagnolo sucks, Shimano sucks, SRAM sucks.
your mom sucks

>>1016532

I wish she only sucked, so the world wouldn't have to endure OP's presence.

0/10, not collectable objects.

Geometry is too relaxed
Also, is that the "when you find out one of your friends is a bigot" guy behind the bike?

>>1015478
>Geometry is too relaxed
Compared to 90s rigid mtbs?
