They're right. The writing is a little confusing, but it's basically saying it'll fit either a
>700 tire with a width from 28 to 35 millimeters
and also will fit a
>27" tire with a width from 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 inches
Hope that helps

Ok, I'll try it. I'm reading online about tire and tube sizing and everything's so complicated...

>>958466
just make sure you put the tube in so it spins in the right direction

Garage. I used to hang mine on a wall in my old place though. When I still had a folder it lived in my car.

Tool shack.
I really shouldnt since the the power inverter batteries are there too.

Last time I move I made a point of finding a place where bike storage would be easy: I keep a few utility/commuting bikes in my garage; the purely recreational bikes get stored inside, lined up along a basement hallway.

There was a case where a team crashed on purpose to get a redo on a time trial

Nice

>anyone ever crashed their bike in-front of someone to purposefully take them out with them in a race
It sounds like a pretty dirty tactic that would get you b& if there was any evidence.

So Lance probably had his team do it once or twice.

You haven't seen a thread about them because they're shitty and dangerous and inferior in every way to a small motorcycle scooter or moped, is why. If you must: >>>/o/ >>>/diy/

If motoring on the MUP is what you want to do, or you have managed to score your third DUI, these might slip past the law for a while. Electrics are much more discrete and not getting busted again is the design goal. Otherwise a small real motorcycle is superior in every way.

Not gonna lie, that shit would just weird me out, I can barely stand regular aircraft and would be more comfortable in a windowless tube.

Neat.

I've never used a helmet in my life. I don't see any point of using something that covers only top part of head. There is bigger risk of hands and legs traumas and nobody thinks about protecting them. Of course wounds in those places will heal more quickly than head so I don't criticize those who wear it, it's just my personal thought.

Not familiar at all with that model, but with older motors like that you're usually better off buying then cannibalizing parts. That's what I do with older 2strokes at least.

agreed, just try to find a older motor, evinrudes were pretty popular back then and you can find plenty of boats just sitting in driveways rotting that will probably have the part you need. just look around and make offers because having a parts motor is usually a good idea.

>>958381

For a lot of the two-stroke motors, you can actually get old milsurp pretty easy. A lot of the time they'll be in pretty good condition too.

This is the biggest weakness of racers.

Boy that is one narrow bike path

>>956329
No better than being on the sidewalk the way it opens you to being right hooked.

>>956330
People get right hooked on that bike path everyday. :(
>>956329
Well, yeah, it's in the middle of a big city, in a third world country. People throw a tantrum when even small bike paths are built.

What is the best all around and cost effective road tire? I've been using thickslicks and they are shit and have shit rolling resistance. I want to finally pony up and get some nice tires. I read the conti 4000 iis are the go to but they are fuck all expensive. Are there any cheaper alternatives with great rolling resistance?

It's called bicycle ballet.

Whilst I really like bicycle ballet (one of the few things where fixies make sense) and flatland BMX it's not transportation if you're not going any where. Maybe go to /asp/, might fit in better there.

They are mega into it, especially the chicks. My girlfriend used to do this shit all the time alone or with others.

This is dumb and you are dumb. Your bike is going to get broken to shit. The airline may not even accept that without massive extra fees, due to it being very oversize. Most airlines have exceptions for bike boxes under certain dimensions, but with the wheels on, you're way over.

Go find a bike store, ask them for a cardboard box. They should have a tone of frame boxes they're throwing out and will be happy to give you one.

Last year:
>go to local bike store
>they tell me I can pick a frame box out of the pile next to the dumpster
>pack my bike, fly to Tokyo
>carry the bike box on the subway to the apartment I'm staying in
>unpack and reassemble bike, stuff cardboard box into dumpster.
>ride bike to Osaka over the next week
>find bike shop in Osaka, grab frame box for free from them even though I barely speak Japanese, box up my bike in a city park.
>drag boxed bike on the subway to the airport, fly back to USA

Easy-peasy

>take off the handlebars (leave shifters & brakes levers mounted)
>pull the stem
>pull the fork
>pull the cranks
>take off the pedals
>take off the seat and post
>take off the wheels
>pack everything in a bike box like a normal person
>protect protruding items such as the rear drop outs, bottom bracket, hubs
>wrap each item I pulled in either an old cut up shirt or cardboard
>double layer the cardboard around the rear stays and bottom bracket
>zip tie all loose items to the frame in case the box is ripped, something doesn't fall out to be lost
>arrived in Zürich
>take bike home
>put back together in 30 minutes

This summer I'm taking four bikes. It's really not a problem if you take the time to strip the bikes and pack appropriately.
