This is kind of a sucky attitude. While trucks technically go in /o/, operation of logistics should most reasonably belong here on /n/.

>>983997
You'll get a better answer on /o/, senpai.
I'm trying to help, untwist your panties.

Yeah, not to shit on your parade, still great job, but Google does tend to over-estimate biking and walking times for anyone who isn't a POS landwhale.

Does anyone know what rolling speed they get their times from?

>>982610

Five miles!?!
And you only had to stop twice? Holy fuck. Are you going to enter the Tour next year?

>>982611
i dunno its weird, based on their time the average speed for my route would be 6 mph whereas on the 8-9% grade hills at the final 2 miles I'm at like 8 mph

>>982613
im considering it yeah

no/10

does it make you happy when you ride, and get you where you need to go? if so, enough/10

So thats where my goose went

Didn't he crash into a motorbike?

>>980610
any kind of crash at such a low speed that doesn't involve falling into a ravine or getting sideswiped by a car is absurd, particularly for a $12,000+ bicycle, to become unusable

I'm looking at an Ultegra Tarmac because I wont have enough to buy one for a couple months. I kind of want disks on it, BUT WHAT EVS. It's a god damned shame that I wont be able to put some overpriced Chinese hoops on that fucker for a while.

T-whites second hand bikes are not great, but it is a good shop for repair work. Definitely check out adventure cycles. It's normally open until 7 and closed on Tuesday & Wednesday.

Chromoly just means steel that isn't hiten, can be a lot of different things. Yeah, it's lighter than hiten though. What you really want is a decent road bike. Very rare/ over priced in Auckland. You can get something better/ cheaper on trademe by paying $80 on shipping from somewhere else if you're willing to take the risk. Auckland tax is ridiculous for road bikes. There's fuck all for sale anywhere atm, but it's worth lurking trademe.

The trek didn't sell, you could make an offer. It's nothing special, probably not that light, but it has low gearing range, is rigid and has slicks.

Short answer: YESSSS

Long answer: That is a very rare and highly collectible piece of mountain biking history: the first production full-suspension bike. Parts will be expensive and difficult to come by--even a rusty example of just the frameset with suspension bits can fetch in the $3,000's by sellers who know what they have and know where to make it most visible--but even the partially restored bikes will command up to 5-figure sale prices.

However, not too many people sell them since they will perform better on rough terrain than even modern flagship Santa Cruz's when properly setup.

There's a guy in my town using a Delta V as a beater/commuter/grocery-getter

>a rusty example of just the frameset with suspension bits can fetch in the $3,000's

Wildly implausible, unless we are talking yen

>they will perform better on rough terrain than even modern flagship Santa Cruz

Straight up wrong.
The early full suspension bikes were, and are, fucking awful. The geometry was awful. The suspension designs were awful. The suspension components were awful.

Even discounting all that, the absence of disk brakes, through axles, a tapered headtube, and the relatively limited tire clearance totally rule out the possibility that the delta V could compete with a modern bike in any way, in any discipline.

That's because it's a piece of shit.

going to ride my bike in a racer fashion tomorrow. Racing 3x this weekend. Imbue me with luck guys

I'd like to try riding it, because steering that contraption at any speed above a walking pace would be an interesting challenge.

>>983857

I'd use it to learn nose manuals.

I would ride pretty much anything if nothing better was available. But i look at that thing and only one word comes to mind
>why?

>>983832

Looks like one of those innertubes they made to more easily replace one on a commuter bike with integrated gear hub. Because it's such a hassle to take them out of the frame, with these you can replace them while still on the bike.

A downtube.

If it's not clear they're like the nuts you would find on a frame for a bottle cage or something.

I have no idea, but does a bottle cage fit there???

something to do with your front brake cable?

>Also for the vehicles that don't have the shoulder seat belt, are they STILL safer than any other seat even without the strap?
No. If shoulder strap is missing from a seat, then that seat is the least safe seat in the vehicle.
>I'm a healthy vegan
Cool, me too. Now stop riding in death cages and start riding bicycles or fuck off to /o/.

rear right seat safest (left is close to oncoming traffic, right is not, safer from sideswipe)
