>people ride without music

How else could you possibly tolerate doing something so utterly mundane?

It's no more a risk than driving with your windows up, or listening to the radio.
Of course, you don't have a cage around you to protect you, but if you're gonna die because you're so into your music, then likely you don't have the situational awareness to be on the road in the first place.

>hurr durr, closer to nature, ADD generation, etc
Some times it's nice to listen to the crickets at night, or go on an exploration ride, but I wish these retards understood that it's nice to listen something on a regular commute ride, can even add to the experience.

I would hate riding around suburbia without music.

I think it is dangerous to listen to music with both earbuds in. You cannot hear the cars around you

>>968897
come on, you can still hear car horns through closed windows.

The try is hard.

>He doesn't have a car, driver's license, or even know how to drive a "cage" but acts like he is superior to them by riding a bike, which is a skill literally every cager on the road learned as a kid

triggered.

I'd honestly love to see roadraged drivers try riding on the road for an afternoon and see how they come out the other side.

If you are not grossly overweight, the wheel is quite true at the moment and you ride carefully avoiding bumps and such you should be fine.

People ride hundreds of miles with broken spokes. But don't do that. It only gives you more broken spokes in the long run.

Best solution however would be to take the wheel on your other bike.

Thanks, yeah I probably will just take my raleigh instead of the mtb, I looked at it again and the rim isn't quite true but it probably won't be salvageable if it bends more...

wtf is the thing in front of your camera left shifter?

I liked DirtyKid and Parovoz.

It moved https://8ch.pl/1chan/

1chan is/was older than 4chan. Just barely, though.

it isn't actually 'mine' but I do pilot it

That's awesome, OP. Pretty boring video though.

I have a Racmmer jersey (bought off aliexpress). Only used it once. The fit is weird, the fabric is pretty shit and sizing is indeed a clusterfuck. Unless you really want/need a full zipper and/or 3 pockets you'd probably be better off going to Decathlon.

I got a Chinese cycling jacket, it's alright.

I've been using memeskins as summer tires for years and never had much trouble

You want "hard to mount", try mounting schwalbe winters with your bare hands at night when it's 11 degrees out and you have to take off your gloves to get a good grip

Push down with palm of your hands from both sides. Use your abs as fulcrum. Should slip on even without soap/lube.

It's probalby out of alignment due to cable stretch.
Look at the bike from the back and make sure the pulley gear on the derailluer and the selected gear on the cassette are aligned with each other.

If it's aligned with most of the middle gears, but it's skewed on either the top or bottom gear, it's a problem with the limit screw. The limit screw keeps the derailleur from sliding your chain too far out, and there's one for the upper and lower limit. If it's misadjusted, it'll keep you from getting into the upper or lower gears properly.

If it's not, turn the cable adjuster on the derailleur until it's lined up.

If you have any trouble, look up GCN on Youtube, they have a ton of helpful videos on bicycles.

I fucked up while adding more info, those 3 lines were supposed to be together.

You never do any sort of maintenance on your bike do you, and don't even know how I'll bet. Go get a book on bike maintenance and start learning before your bike gets completely ruined.

If i could have only one bike, i'd go for CX or gravel bike.

If you built a bike for life 20 years ago, you'd be stuck with a 1 inch steerer and rim brakes, who knows what the industry will come up with in the next decade or two? Graphene frames might be right around the corner.

>CX or gravel bike
which means get an steel MTB and put drop bars on it

Would be useful if your commute is multi-modal. Or if you are a trucker and wanted a bike that could fit in the cab. Or if you travel a lot and wanted a bike that didn't need an oversized case.

It would be great if there was one that you could wear as a backpack to keep both hands free while carrying it.

They could be great if you could make one a functional size still fold down a lot.

I was thinking, solid rubber/foam tires, folding rims, and telescoping tubes? I'm not an engineer, so I don't know what I'm missing.

>>974237

I have a paratrooper. It's not bad outside of being kinda heavy for what it is. I'd only go folding if you ride trains or fly a lot. In my case I hop trains to random towns in japan and just ride in a random direction all weekend.

Mine hit and ran. Good for you, anon.

Kinda sucks desu. I wouldn't want anyone to get hit by a cager but if you're not seriously wounded and you're getting money out of it, more power to you.

Aviator with a question for you mariner types: When you come in to port, is there some sort of controlling agency, like an ATC, that you need to talk to before getting a berth?

Is this downhill or something? What were you doing in the middle of the road if it's not a descent?

Yeah I alwyas went by "no falls nobals" and crashed a lot doing stupid stuff (BUT LEARNING) in my first year of riding road bikes.

>>975736
It is indeed a descent

Hairpin that can almost be taken at 20mph, as I discovered. Long twisty downhill.
