It seems like there's a general agreement that the "first generation" of diesel-electric locomotives consists of the original diesels that replaced steam engines in the 1930s-1950s while the "second generation" consists of the boxy-looking types (pic related is a classic example) that started showing up in the 1960s to replace the first generation.

After that, it starts to get murky.

How do you define the "generations" of diesels, and where do you think we are now?

hello, /n/. quick question about right-of-way rules

who goes first in this situation?

"whoever stopped first" is the base rule for 4 way stop intersections. when cross traffic causes you and your parallel buddy to both stop, who goes first when cross traffic is clear?

Any tips?

Yes indeed it can. I developed a muscle imbalance which ended up causing knee issues subsequently benching me for months.

Easy fix though if you're catching it early, go to a physio and get them to put together a pilates or weight plan to help even the muscle growth

Old one >>1008351

Lately i havent been able to get my indexing right and i get crazy chain skipping. my friend told me my hanger was bent and he straightened it out (he is a bike mech btw, it was a minor bend so he could do it) I have also replaced my chain and shifter cables before and until 2 days ago it was fine. when i try to adjust it now i get a knocking noise from the rear and the chain goes up 2 on a certain cog. Also what would happen if i put some rusted dust caps from my jockey wheels in vinegar? I know that it would also remove the metals protective coat.

Did he straighten your hanger using a proper tool or just eyeball it? Could also be that the derailer itself is bent.

As for the pulleys, just spray a little oil on and scour the rust/crud off with steel wool. There is no "protective coat" to worry about.

New Jersey Transit train 1614 crashed into the Hoboken, NJ train station at speed. Around 9:00 AM the train went off the end of the rails through a wall and into the station's reception area causing a roof collapse on the platform. Witnesses say there was no apparent braking.


Enjoy the automation legislation.

I'm looking into getting an adventure bike, and came across Diamondback's Haanjo EXP, I've been reading about for the past few days, and it seems like Diamondback has been really stepping up their game. Only thing is that I know fuck all about mountain bike components. (I ride track/fixed primarily). I was wondering are bar end shifters even appealing still? Aren't they a bit archaic? My two options so far have been the


Haanjo EXP: http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/Product_10052_10551_1209548_-1___

or

PX On One Bish Bash Bosh: http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBOOBBBRIV1/on-one-bish-bash-bosh-sram-rival-1-hrd-adventure---gravel-bike

anyone have any other recommendations or insight on these two, or their components?

some links I've found about the Haanjo:

Well the DB is much more adventure bike while the on-one is more gravel bike. If you want to really get off road the DB is going to work better with the wheels, tires, and gearing. The DB is more like a drop bar mtn bike. I imagine they are using K.I.S.S principals when it comes to the drivetrain. If you are somewhere in South America you are much more likely to be able to fix a simple 3x9 setup with mechanical disk than a 1x11 with hydraulics. I've never used bar ends but the front uses friction mode so it will shift whatever setup you use and the rear can be run indexed or friction shfited which could come in handy if you bend something in the middle of nowhere.

I guess it really just comes down to what you really plan to do with the bikes.
>>
>>1012030
Thanks for the info on the barcon stuff, that makes a lot more sense. Any knowledge on the component mix? I've noticed it is ranging from Deore, XT, and Dura-Ace. It's pretty mix-and-match it seems. I may be totally misinterpreting this, which is why I am asking.
>>
Same here OP, I've also been looking at the bishbashbosh for a while now, it seems like a pretty good deal overall. It kind of depends on your definition of adventure bike obviously, personally I want something that's not too slow so more of a gravel bike.

The Diamondback looks great too but the problem is I only need a frameset because I want to build it up myself. It's really frustrating that a lot of nice bikes are only sold complete.

I'm also looking at the Kinesis Tripster ATR: http://www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/Catalogue/Models/Adventure/Tripster-ATR

It's pretty freaking expensive but then again it is Titanium and looks awesome. Would be my first choice if it wasn't for the price.

There's also a bunch of steel bikes that hit the spot but ever since I've tried carbon I don't really want to miss out on the dampening comfort of that material.
