Ex-soviet train thread
>>1439708Because of the outdated technology and ill-maintaned engines.
For my OpenTTD nibbas, anyone playing the lovely xUSSR trains mod?https://wiki.openttd.org/XUSSR_Set
Finnish railways, they repainted them some years ago, I think white and green looks good.

So, which one of you sexist pigs has been sending strongly worded emails to CyclingTips about women’s cycling?Even though their courses are smaller and their average speeds are slower does not mean that they are less entertaining to watch than men’s cycling.What do you have to say for yourselves, incels?It’s 2020 get over it.
>>1440499How utterly devoid of joy must your life be to watch any kind of bicycle racing?
>>1440959Watching bicycle racing on TV is weirdly mesmerising.
>>1440959It's great when actually know what they're doing
>>1440959Rather watch that than soccer, football, baseball, hockey, or basketball. Let alone golf or tennis, yuck
>>1440980>>1440959Actually I take it back, women's tennis is fun to watch but only because it's fun to watch fit young women in miniskirts screaming and grunting for hours
Buy Bike General (last thread is dead)2018 foil 20 vs 2020 supersixboth used, foil is ultegra and 7.5kg(16.5lbs) , supersix is 105 and 8.3kg (18.3lbs).supersix looks nicer in real life tha in pics- so its basically a newer heavier worse groupset (but i believe better frame design, this is just a hunch due to several testimonies ive heard), vs an older beter groupset bike.what should i do? foil is a bit more than the supersix, but not by far.
$1,148 USDUsed mostly for commuting, leisure riding, getting groceries.
>>1440816Forgot pic.
>>1440616The bike I'm looking at is about 4300 euros. Le sad.
>>1440777I remember seeing the breakdown of the "rollover" capability of 29ers vs 27.5. It's tiny. People somehow have gotten it into their head that 27.5 wheels are basically skateboard wheels.
>>1440777>>1440922a couple of cm or a couple of degrees is all it takes to make a significant change in geometry or bike fit>>1440489there's nothing wrong with 29ers, the only thing that could be an issue if the bike is too good so that your trails don't feel challenging enough

>>1440930I knew Santa Fe held on to their FP45s. I need to readu0 more on the Milwaukee Road, though from what I've seen about it on /n/, it would probably be rage inducing.
>>1440933>it would probably be rage inducing.It really is. I started out as a BN fan and found the Milwaukee because of #261 in Minneapolis. MILW was noteworthy for a lot of traits, perhaps most important being it was the first major US railroad to institute streamlined passenger service out of Chicago.The sad fact is MILW died because of greed and crookedness, and while the super-merger that created Burlington Northern caused many waves, BN, even being stiff competition, didn't kill Milwaukee. Its own leadership did through incompetence, laziness and monetary schemes.I really fuckin wish it had survived. Seems like if a few things had gone differently, it probably would have. Many US roads were looking at MILW to be the backbone of a competition conglomerate against BN, and the inept leadership refused it at every opportunity.
>>1440892So, am I missing something? Did the UP own the Milwaukee Road? Why do some MILW engines have their yellow scheme? Is this just a coincidence or is there a reason. Does it go back to something involving the City of San Francisco?
Anyone here have one of Bachmann's Chinese Steam locomotives? I want to get one but not sure what one to buy. Probably gunna buy the QJ first and get the others eventually, but there really isnt any good videos online of them running
>>1440930didn't MILW's FP45s not have dynamics?
Am I making a mistake ?It’s my dream bike
>>1440889I admit they are not the bestbut you posted the rim brake version not the disk version.spoke holes really are big, didn't notice it until you told me.

>>1440827Yes for not getting di2

>>1440867you can tighten your turning radius with skills but don't expect too much, you shouldn't need to make u-turns if you behave like a car/motorcycle in traffic, if you need to turn on a narrow bike path you should first slow down and run off to the side so you get as much room as you can, and coast with your outer foot in the 6 o'clock position for stability and so you don't hit your front wheel with your foot (especially smaller frames tend to have more toe overlap), but there will be a minimum turning radius because of your bike's geometryto corner at speed you should countersteer to initiate a lean into the turn. this means steering in the opposite direction that you would expect so you push the handlebar away from you on the side you want to turn toward. and keep your outer foot in the 6 o'clock position during the turn to improve your center of gravity and to avoid pedal strike.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljywO-B_yewyou shouldn't encounter a lot of curbs if you ride on the road. when you do, take them head on and slow down and lift your ass so that your limbs act as suspension so that the bike won't feel the impact as much between your ass and the curb
>>1440898That video is nuts
>>1440875>>1440898>To simplify what anon is talking about here, go look up what "attack postion" is in mountain bikingThere is no reason why this 'advice' would translate from mountain bike riding with berms (like in pic above) to road or street riding.Well, unless you use curbs or walls as berms.
>>1440673I'm sure that team sky pinarello with number 176 in the pic is op's bike
>>1440971yeah you don't need to do that on a road bike
>holds bottle>pretty light>pretty strong>every color and then some>weirdly cheap>has pro team cred>not made in USAHonestly if you are using anything other than Tacx Devas how can you justify this? I have bottle cages that cost 5-6x more than this thing and I see no reason other than bling. Especially since the expensive ones are made in USA and you never know these days. Not to get too political but I'd rather not risk supporting that crowd if you know what I mean (I am sure you do so let's just leave it at that)

It takes about 5 seconds of stopping, I'm practically at the stop, and in my years of riding the bus I've seen drivers do it countless times before for other people who barely missed the stop>roastie fucking cunt waves back at me and keeps drivingWhy are woman bus drivers always such cunts? It's always the female ones that are sticklers to the rules and who seem to get smug pleasure from it, while I always see male bus drivers letting people slide on fare or taking time to help passengers out. Is it because the female is unaccustomed to authority and assumes she has to be an unquestionable dictator to assert respect, while the male knows it's earned? This isn't the first time I've noticed it, just a time that fucked me over personally.Tl;dr Fuck female bus drivers, share your cunt woman bus driver stories
>>1440809OP here again, this just makes it worse in my opinion. Buses are never on time and expect people to wait ten or more minutes for them, but this hystrionic vagina couldn't stop five seconds to let someone jump on, when I've seen male drivers do this almost every other ride, and those five seconds are lost in the wash of good or bad traffic and lights anyway. I'm not even writing this so much because I'm butthurt about my own experience (though I am), but that this is a pattern I've noticed in general with female drivers being unsympathetic hardasses compared to men, and I was wondering if anyone else had noticed the same trend.
>>1440813I'm a McDick wagecuck who sees women of every walk of life, and I definitely think this is the case. But I think it's more common in female teachers, because that field is dominated by females. This makes the more hideous aspects of female relationships be enhanced, and they always seems too preoccupied to pay attention if their order is right or their coupon won't work because they're too lazy to ready 2 sentences. Anywho, hate women, currently an incel, yes. But, not for lack of trying, in the past year I've been ghosted by 5 girls that I had started going out with.
>>1440771>one datapointI've seen male bus drivers do the same thing.
>>1440937>ghosted by 5 girls>doesn't think he is the problemwew
>>1440963>doesn't think he is the problemAnon never said this. Anon only said that it's not for lack of trying.Learn to reading comprehension.

It made sense at the time, sure, lower costs, but broad gauge is superior, and enables higher speeds, while encouraging broader, safer rights of way.
>Imagine 7ft track gauge but with with the sort of loading gauges you see in US/RU
>>1440920
>>1440893>enables higher speedsWhat gauge are all of the world's high speed trains again? 1435 mmWhat gauge is the Queensland Rail tilt train, just as fast as the XPT or Vlocity? 1067 mm>encouraging broader, safer rights of wayfalse equivalence between structure gauge and track gauge. Broader track gauge may encourage broader structure gauge but US standad gauge is some of the broadest in the world nevertheless.This thread is nothing but broad gauge propaganda.
