You know what's great, /n/? This morning I saw a cyclist get pulled over for running a red light. I hope it was one of you fags.
Hmm, must be a Britbong thing

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?
Who cares?

Swallow that shit, no problem.
What sucks is getting one in your eye; pretty hard to will yourself to keep your eye from going crazy in the moment.
One time I was carrying my bike and an asshole bee crawled under my hat and stung me for no fucking reason. Dick.

Stop giving bees a bad name.
What's your favorite transportation center, /n/? Can be rail, bus, metro, etc.
The workhorse of the American Public Transit System.....
The Un-sheltered bus stop.

>clearly in western sydney
The 131500 always bothers me. I really wish they just nailed a timetable to *all* the bus stops. Saves pulling out my phone to download them
Also, Kanazawa station ALWAYS applies

Well that actually could happen, if you provide specific instructions on what to do with your remains. It's more plausible than reincarnation anyway.
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?
Guy going straight

Why aren't all road bikes 29"?
Why would you want to have ~2cm more in diameter?
>>1016515
This is why I don't ever run tires.
Whatever tire you use is gonna be wider than the rim it fits on, and if I wanted to roll on something thick I'd buy a fucking MTB.
Rims are real.
But they are
I favor my right leg when I'm biking. It's not a big deal right now but it could be later.
Any tips?
>>1016139
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
>>1016161
I live in Canada. I wonder, considering it's not a problem yet, if I would have to pay for physio appointments. I can't afford shit.

Well do you want an injury in the future?
hi /n/
complete newfag here
i have a question about bike
why do you guys have the saddle higher than the bar
isnt it uncomfortable to ride bike like that
please answer properly. we all wuz newfag once
>>1015831
>/bqg/
also fucking kill yourself
>>1015845
you could have just answered the question.
also what is a good bike to get if u want to go fast like the olympics do
>>1015849
Bikes don't make you fast, training makes you fast. Upgrade the ENGINE.

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.
>>1014100
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.
>>1014100
Surprise: your drivetrain is fucked.
You need to replace your drivetrain.
my rear wheel in the back is not 100% straight, its off center a bit at a certain point, money is a concern
wat do?

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.
now they will close the station all week as well, time to construct a new terminal. its funny how they local news coverage seem terrified to show any injuries constantly blurring the screen of any footage they air

Who cares.
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.
