Because they're cheaper

>>1079182
It's an expensive bike that I bought. Should I just ride it into the ground and then replace?

>>1079183
>ride into ground and replace
This is always the correct answer.

>>1079176
Cup and cone can be pretty good too. They're easy to service and last longer than sealed bearings if maintained properly.

Already have these here in Johannesburg

Are those just awnings or solar panels?

I've never seen one in my life and my state's nickname is "The sunshine state" (Florida). Would benefit us tremendously but the people here are too cheap to spend on anything that doesn't offer immediate returns

>>1078958
That's because Florida will always take the most retarded possible approach to anything.

Which Cambridge?

Aero A-35, originaly built as an transatlantic special, rebuilt as an commercial airliner after the project of transatlantic flight was cancelled

you can see the flightpath on the hull of this plane. Note that Uzgorod was in that time part of Czechoslovakia (now it is part of Ukraine)

damn b ok

If you can't figure out that spending $100 more on a flight is worth it to avoid sitting 11 more hours on a shitty bus for a weekend trip you might actually be retarded.

Yes.

How did they compare with L1011s?

Throwing a third engine on a plane's weakest point is insane.

so i got my first road bike and im gonna change my chain each 3000km. just hitted those numbers for the first time. its a 105 drivetrain.

i have no experience cutting/installing chains. im gonna get a 105 chain (and order a bunch of them at once, so if anyone knos a cool place, let me know).

question is. what chain tool should i buy? i have heard it can get a bit tricky to join links..
what tools should i avoid? dont need nothing fancy or portable as im gonna be changing chains frequently it should happen only at my house... any info helps thanks.

>>1078154
replace your chain when its worn out, not based on mileage

get a kmc chain

buy the cheapest chainbreaker you can find

anyone here uses the sigma rox 6, 10 or 11?
any real feedback? is it good if you just want speed, cadence and hr info? is having routes, strava or other fancy stuff really a plus when bike riding? i just want to train and HR info is the most important right now

>Guess assembly costs are nothing compared to buying shitloads of components directly from manufacturer with cheap price.

Welcome to capitalism

>>1077798
i heard the bike assembly companies getting the same parts for like half price. it goes beyond bulk purchase it's also the retail costs of course but the oem parts are sold at a deliberate markup for the non contracted partners or merchants. it's all part of what keeps bike manufacturers alive.

only parts you need to buy from big manufacturers are the frame, the fork, the BB, cranks, rims and hubs

if you buy the rest from your local bike shop that sells chinese stuff it will be cheaper

Congratulations, you're both the reason people hate Strava and the reason people hate cyclists.

that fantasy map is like 10 years out of date. It also looks like its drawn by someone with no clue about LA geography.

anyone have the full size version of pic related? new york in DC style

>>1080280
Yeah, I think it's actually an Australian who specializes in making subway maps in the style of the Tube map.

The former, then I fix my shitty bike

god-tier bike

if I can't enjoy it then nobody can.

Shitty bike + god-tier cycling infrastructure. I just want to get around at faster than walking speed without riding the subway or having my bike stolen.

Measure the circumference of your head and buy a helmet bigger than that. Quite a bit bigger, since they adjust for smaller but not for larger.

I use a high-vis helmet because then it's dual purpose. Make me easier to see and also protect my head- and the being easier to see protects my head too. For pure functionality I don't see much better.

Thanks

Is there a reason not to buy a sweet MTB helmut instead of a roadie one ?

I am worried about air flow, but also thinking I'll want MTB helmet for the gravel... which will probably lead to buying an MTB in the next year

>>1078189
If you're over 18 you don't need one.

If you need a helmet for riding a bike

Chances are you're retarded and can't figure out how to ride
Which I'd suggest you just go ahead and wear that helmet 24/7

take a picture, post on 4chan with caption

"what do???"
