>>981031

literally why

>>981031
8/10 would ride

Have fun when your frame and rims explode.

You think a bike like that can handle an 80cc engine?

>>980992
I've seen it done on even cheaper bikes so why not?

>>980995
Because bisykles are generally designes for carrying people and some amount of cargo. Attaching a 30-50kg object that causes the bike to move nearly 100kmh to a sub 500 money currency bike with alu frame could prove to be problematic in some areas.

Not that I have any personal experiences with this.

Knock yourself out, break a leg etc etc.

I live in a neighborhood in SF with a lot of hilly streets, which makes biking a pain in the ass. There is this route across the city called the wiggle that makes it easier since it's flatter, but that doesn't really do anything for my neighborhood.

Umm... gears?

You will NEVER have a girlfriend. EVER.
Enjoy your foreveralone life.

It's insecure faggots like you that will never have a girlfriend, faggot.

Well, I know what I'm watching on catchup this weekend.

Ep 2 is airing right now and they just addressed this fuckup.

>>980135
>Ep 2
My bad it was Ep 3, and also the final episode apparently.

Go to an LBS. Sportchek sells some premium bikes, but expect walmart tier service when it comes to assembly and maintenance.

>>979817
I have a long biking backround so maintenance isn't an issue. I can take it to the lbs if need be.

Just looking to get back into biking. I don't need the best. I just want to get back out there and see where it takes me.

holy shit i typed the wrong board in the address bar shit dammit b and n are next to each other top kek

This is not how memes work.

lmao anon what the fuck are you doing son, this is dangerous and stupid, why can't you run a hitch rack like normal people.

This is probably the most retarded idea I've seen in a long time. The first cop that sees your autistic invention will give you quite a big ticket, for obvious reasons.

so is the rack on this pic also illegal?
and why the fuck is it dangerous? i can see through a fucking bike

i have a camper shell on the back and dont want a bicycle blocking the door

I had an RV one time with two bars welded to the front to hold bikes. we never drove it anywhwere, tho, but the previous owner did (he made the bike rack)

Recommended it in the BQG recently. Recommendation still stands.

While eBay and the likes are very strong in presence and make it alot easier to access railroad stuff for a (very) good price, swap meets still can offer goods for a fair price. IMO their strength lies in finding 2nd hand material. It is a good alternative to extend your searching area. Sometimes it's just a matter of luck whether you find something useful or not.

>>978631
Swap meets are good for finding something you weren't actively looking for. Say, you just want some extra freight stock to fill out a yard? Hit up a swap meet, you'll find all the random stock you could dream of.

OP here. You both bring up good points. I try to look for new in the box out of production models and used stuff in great shape. I have a nice old collection from my father and I from years ago. I'm starting new with new motive power and rolling stock. Of course I'll still run some of the old stuff but I'm into DCC now and growing past the old standard 4x8 sheet of plywood.

I have gotten lucky and found a nice 8 car passenger set and many vehicles at swap meets. Some of those old guys hate haggling. Even with cash in hand. But for fill in pieces for background stuff it's a good idea to get a $10 box of tyco cars to hide around while you parade around the expensive stuff.

Pretty sure any M5 bolt would work. Make sure they aren't too long, though. It's controversial, but I would recommend loctite on brake bolts.

>>978611
Cool, thanks

light grease the posts
any M6 15mm bolt/hexhead will do
throw them out and get disc brakes

>People not operating their vehicle in a way to avoid fixed and known hazards and thinking someone else is at fault.
I think the only thing the city needs to do is spay and neuter the plaintiffs.

This only means there need to be more and faster trams so the retards won't live to whine about it. Get the fuck off the tracks you imbecile!

Excuse me sir, but are you aware you're violating one of the Global Rules by posting troll threads outside of /b/? I'm afraid there are consequences for that.

/thread

it should not be named Aerotrain it should be named Rail Plane since it runs on rails and not air

>>976268
It's also not a train, having only one car.
