absolute pieces of shit, put them both on, wheel had thick compound rim tape, tires properly pulled in, 10 minutes on hardpacked dirt @ 35psi and they both fucking burst. Going back to tubeless, post GOAT tubeless tires.
Got one of those too, have ridden them for about 80km, commute. Still working. Tho on road.

Why did you ever go back to tubes on a mountain bike in the first place?
>>906243
You obviously did something wrong.
Can /n/ give me some advice in bike locks ? Is there a particular model that is worth ?
>>905607
700€ bike btw
>>905607
U lock
Your lock is only your third line of defense. Your first one is not being an idiot, and your second one is making double sure you're not being an idiot.
Pic not mine.
I have an older Raligh, Same style as this one. Clearly a mountain bike. It's having problems, Im constantly fixing the piece of shit.
My dad tries to convince me over and over that I'm not supposed to 'jump curbs' which I don't. I do ride off them. He says I'm not supposed to 'stand on the peddles' when I ride. and that I can't be 'rough' with it. I keep telling him.. "It's a fucking mountain bike. It's supposed to handle riding, and jumping, and trials, and all that stuff."...

move out of your parents house and stop listening to that idort.
that being said, a shitty walmart "mountain bikes" aren't made to withstand anything above jumping curbs, and not even that if you have some weight in you.
>>906244
It's a raileigh.. is that not a good brand?
And I'm only like 5' 11" maybe 150lbs

Raleigh went through many years making total garbage, cheap-ass bikes. The old ones from the 1960's and earlier are very durable and reliable but heavy as hell and not for performance. Today the newer ones are good quality again.
If your bike is like the pic you posted it is low quality and it will take a lot of work to keep those cheap components working. Good news is you will probably learn a lot about how to fix a bike. Start saving up for nicer bike so someday you can enjoy more time riding then repairing.

So it will run in a literal loop?

I really wish someone in the press would bring up the fact that the hyperloop is by no means an original idea.

BUT WHO WAS THROTTLE?
Seriously though, how the fuck does this happen? I was on another red line train at the exact same time. Delays were a bitch because of this.
>>905066
Seems it was driver tampering with the deadman device.
>>905066
Probably a lack of servicing. How old are those units? Look like they are from the 1930s judging by the lamps.
>>905079
>Look like they are from the 1930s judging by the lamps.
Jesus Christ America get your shit together. NOTHING that old should be running on public rails.
What would you add to this?

It seems that the tubes for this bike I bought second hand is integrated within the tyre itself. What the fuck is this? Is there no way to remove it? The tyre is sealed from the bottom and I can't access the tube.
Anyone here ever heard of this sort of thing; will I need a whole new set of tyres?
google tubular tyres idiot

and tubes and wheels

Any person knowledgeable about ship design?
Have a need to identify the type of ship that pic related is. The game it is from refers to it as a Windcatcher, though searching yields no results and even a little research leads to trouble finding ship types even similar.
Could be that it is based off something real, since the game tends to be pretty technical about ship design, but I'd have no idea what.
Assuming that the sails aft of the masts are intended to represent square-rigged sails, I would say that it is supposed to be a fully-rigged ship. The raised area of deck is not a feature of naval architecture I've ever seen on such a vessel.
Another picture.
>>905798
One of the things that confuses me is that the aft sails don't have a boom, almost like they were flipped upside down. As for the raised part, yeah it's pretty weird. Some searching termed it as a Midcastle, though only a few ships used such a thing and usually for gunnery purposes.
>>905799
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the designers of this clipart didn't know (or particularly give a shit) about hull configurations or rigging, OP
So I bought a used bike frame off of ebay. It was pretty beat up. Obviously had seen some hard trail use in it's life. The bottom bracket made a horrible grinding noise when turned.
From the outside I thought it was a cup and cone but upon disassembly I found out it was a cartridge. Pic related.
I want to replace it with a BB that looks the same form the outside. Does anyone make a BB that looks like a cup and cone from the outside?
The one I had has lock rings on both sides.
Thats a standard square taper, just be sure you know what lenghts you want.

This is where to learn how to find lengths you want to buy.

Good luck

Yeah, that'll teach the little bastard not to bring his wheelchair out onto a baseball field.

Hey /n/, what can you tell me about this bike? Should I drop $150 on it?

/n/ jersey thread
How can someone draw pleasure from reposting an old ass picture in a slow ass board? How sad must your life be?
>>904664
Fuck that. Let's have another thread about having Gen 2 of the /n/ jersey. Those are my favorite.
>>904664
Jesus Christ. You're literally the worst poster on the board right now. You're bumping off good threads by forcing the same stale ass memes for months on end. You're probs the same guy that pulled that Whitney Larkin bullshit. This is some /mu/ level shitposting.
And the worst part about is like >>904667 said. This board is so slow that even if everyone that replies to this real gem of a post sages, I'm still gonna have to look at this picture...

Are montague bikes pretty much my only option if I want a full-size folding bike?
http://www.montaguebikes.com/
I'm about to start a trucking job and I'd like a bike to keep in the passenger seat area. I wouldn't mind a heavy as fuck steel frame if it cost less.
Take a look at S&S Couplings or a Rinko bike. Not cheap tho
