theres still many amazing planes left to fly my man

I rode an Air Canada L-1011 from Copenhagen to Toronto in 1974. It felt noticeably nose up.

Huge interior. Lots of space.

we are cyclists- we just go buy the shit and install it. If we don't like it we put it in our stack of unused parts and justify wasting money by planning to use it later. If you don't have a big enough pile of parts to assemble 2 complete bikes you are doing it wrong.

Thanks for giving me this idea.
I need to Photoshop a single speed cannondale quick cx with bar end grips and dual hydraulic disks

>>1044751
Doesn't really reflect how people buy bikes imho. If you're doing a custom build, whatever shop you're at doesn't have the resources to build and maintain a tool like that. If you're buying from a shop affiliated with a big brand, then you're buying the manufacturer's spec.

Let's talk about the inability of Airbus to clean up orders they're getting

Don't worry Trump will game the Iran sanctions deal to shift Airbus' orders to Boeing.

What are you doing on the front page?

I'm new to /n/ and couldn't remember where the hell it was. Why is it /n/ instead of something like /trn/ ?

>>1043376
trains aren't the only kind of transportation. Folks talk about bikes, ships and even planes here. I'm not sure why /n/ is under japanese culture except maybe at some point it was created to contain massive shitposting about superior japanese public transportation

You do know you can get a brand new mini velo for $300?

>>1042916
I dont think the geometry will work for that. You would have to do some pretty hardcore modifying, I'd guess it woild be just as easy building a new frame

>>1042924
Not everywhere. If you can tell me wjere to get one in EU I'd be interested.

I think that Wiley guy who posts here and has like a hundred bikes has one similar to what you describe, so it can be done. Pretty ugly though

Other than a shitload of media swarming around, how will it be different from any other sold-out game?

>>1042192
Its Houston, we dont have sold out games.

in our city everything is so godamn far apart, so without any traffic at all. it takes 45 minutes to get to the stadium from downtown

No, I don´t live in Sweden.

We use Nissan Urvan/Toyota hiaces designed to carry 12 people. Retrofit the seats to accommodate 18 and then cram 21-24 in them.

Sometimes strangers sit in each other's laps.

In my city we use Mitsubishi colts or Suzuki APVs as minibuses

Option 1, make metal plate and move bottom of the shock to the rear
Option 2, make up some metal hangers of some kind and kinda hang the guard down

larger wheels

>>1039266
It looks like they're adjustable by turning the sleeve at the bottom. You could also chop the springs. The third option would be to relocate the shock mounting points, however that would be more effort than just changing the shocks.

Use Schwalbe, please please use the brand to give me some kind of verification!

Anything from Continental, Michelin and Hutchinson should be bulletproof - you see the grip their F1 cars get in the wet!

Awesome public transport needs to be built first.

Japan could almost do it.

They would probably end up doing better and more confy trains

>>1043933
There's a special tool for that. Your lbs will have it. Don't try to do it by eye as it needs to be absolutely spot on and you want to be bending on it as little as possible.

Do you have a question?

And why order a new RD? If the hanger is the only thing bent (which it should be; that's the point of them) then replacing it (and unbending the rim I guess) should be all that's necessary.

the derailleur itself is torqued up.

Double deckers are cool. Shame they weren't successful in New York.

Atlanta's been toying with the double-deckers too. They're neat!

>How do I get into off-road biking?
Basically you just start doing it, although it will be easier and more fun if you can find some other people to ride with
>Is $800 dollars enough for a decent bike?
Depends what kind of bike. Refer to next question.
>What kind of bike do I want?
You want the kind of bike that's suitable for the trails you'll be riding... Unfortunately you don't know what that is. It also depends on how much money you have and how much time you'll actually spend riding it. Try to find some people who ride in your area and ask for advice (you may be able to find the forum of a local club or just a forum for mountain biking in your area on the internet somewhere).

>>1043732
Thanks. I want to check out the local bike shop, but I've heard they're quite smug. Probably suck it up and do it anyway.

I'd recommend this one. It's a bit lower for your price range but you could use the rest for upgrading components. It's a well known and great entry bike for the sport.

You could also just immediately go for the 800$ model
