why are you so angry inside?

Difficult to imagine a small wood or foam core boat sinking. Flipping over and breaking up perhaps, but not sinking. Buoyant hull materials as a saftey feature would not practically scale up to ship size though.

>>897397
Lifeboats and submarines. Though the subs technically do sink ...

>>897397
No, no ship is impossible to capsize but the really massive ones are difficult to push over just by waves. The Costa Concordia has proven that even large ships can be brought down pretty easily. Theoretically if you enclosed the top half of a ship with an airtight material and added gyroscopes to the bridge, you could make a vessel immune to capsizes. Of course if the material is punctured it could sink.

Is this a hypothetical or a specific question?
>if its specific
I just started reading about this yesterday(so some of things I say might be wrong), and I was honestly trawling the catalog to make a similar thread or some kind of train general.
Some of the question is going to depend on where you live. I've only actively been reading about the Amtrak lines since those are the ones I was thinking about using.

I don't know enough about train lines to know if every line allows bikes, but I do know the ones that do have a limited number of spots available (between 4 and 10) and most of those require a reservation and have a few from $0 to $20. You can pack your bike in a box for and check it as luggage, but you'd have to rent/buy a box ($15) and pack it yourself. You do have to get to the station a minimum of one hour early to check your bike. Depending on how far in advance you're planning, it seems easier than the forced boxing for a plane, and you can ride to and from the station.

So I guess the best way to do it is to call ahead and make a reservation when you buy your ticket.

>if its hypothetical.
idklawl?

Ride all the way
Park bike at station
Inside train

In that order of preference.

Use a folded bike

Powdercoat it instead

No.

You either invest in a new Frameset because spraying it by a professional is simply too overpriced, or you try to do the job by yourself and deal with all the downsides

I threw out my CO2 canisters. Floor pump is cheaper and more effective. No sense in having disposable equipment lying around.

Just saying, m8.

Yes co2 is amazing, and gets harder pressure than I could ever do with a hand pump
