what went so right?
You don't want a seatbelt on a 2 seater, you need to be able to abandon ship if needed, or pick up surfing on the fly
>>188154420 years later, Renault Twizy implemented this concept in a better way I think, even if it was built with a combustion engine.
>>1883840based and twizzypilled
yeah, so what I was reincarnated as an electric 3 wheeler
>>1881544It didn't. But a nice experiment of the noughties to show what cars are actually used for and make people think about an alternative.
which Orbea bike is the best? i can't decide if i should buy the Terra, Orca or Carpe
>>1880820>French (Lapierre)why would i want an african bike?
orbea was invented by GCN
>>1882554nta but I want one now and never gave them much thought before, how many people can say they have an african bike? 4chan always picks the worst insults, my other favorite is "but she has a penis"
>>1882634i like you
>>1882629I'm going to find you and shoot you with an Orbea

What's up with integrated crown races? I had to replace a lower bearing on a headset and the instruction slip from acros depicted a crown race. But there's no crown race that I can see, either in the bike now, or in the bag of shit from acrosMy bare fork/steerer tube looks something like this and the internet has plenty of discussion of this phenomenon but it seems like an incredibly terrible idea to me, putting the entire weight of the bike on a <2mm wide faceted steel surface resting directly on bare carbon. Am I missing something here? How are these not assploding all over the place?
>>1885050Like here take a look at this (not my actual bearing but close enough). That chamfer, as far as I can tell, is the main load bearing surface. It seems to fit, and I guess they know what they're doing but how is this not asking for failure? Because if I wanted to make a booby trap practical joke bike that kills you, this is probably how I'd do it.
>>1885084>>1885084>>1885084
>>1885050>>1885051dont worry, carbon strongk
>>1885050solid carbon is strong and the bearing has a pretty good fit along the full circumference of the integrated race. it's basically the same thing as if you had a normal crown race just that the mating surface is at an angle instead of flat. think of how thin the walls are in the fork leg for example and the fork leg is strong enough. just get the proper fitting bearing and preload it correctly.
You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
>>1883223paid shill probably, but without ever having seen one of these bikes in person
>>1879144Replace that fake drop bar with a proper straight bar and it'll be a rad commuter bike.

Can you use snap ring pliers as a master link plier to remove a master link on a bike chain?
>>1884768Maybe but if it's super tight the pliers might slip out.
>>1884768I mean, worth a shot. But you'll probably just end up slipping out and then go back to using one of your shoe laces instead.
>>1884768You never know til u try. Just b urself, bro.
why still no serious solar train solutions yet tho

>49-Euro-Ticket kommt zum 1. Maihttps://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/49-euro-ticket-einigung-mai-101.htmlDa man mit einem Ticket von egal wo überall fahren kann, wird das mit der Einnahmeaufteilung sicherlich lustig.Bei so etwas Kurzfristigem wie dem 9-Euro-Ticket war das ja noch vertretbar, aber hier braucht es eine Lösung.Wie das geklärt wird, dazu steht nichts in dem Bericht. Würde also nicht zwingend mit dem 1. Mai rechnen uezs.

Bundesverkehrsminister Volker Wissing (FDP) strebt ein ausschließlich digitales Ticket an.

My city Warsaw has the shittiest interchange metro station in the world. Two island platforms connected by their ends, so there is only one direct corridor which is very small and crowded. The authorities are begging people to use the long way round.It would be excusable if it was from the 1800s but the second line was opened not even 10 years ago
>>1881874not always possible
>>1881908The stairs leading to the platform of M1 line are very narrow.
>>1881833Hi Warsaw bro, the problem is also this stupid elevator connecting M1 and M2 platforms
>>1881913I live in Gocław, instead of a tram, officials want to build this shit that will only extend my journey
>>1883982Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
What is the point of a car ferry that only takes five minutes, in the middle of a huge city? Why don't they build a bridge?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbYkbyfqCGk
>>1881289They could build a low bridge that opens in the middle, like Tower Bridge, but not as fancy. It's only 300m from pier to pier. Much cheaper than operating two ferries with crew.

>>1881582>Much cheaper than operating two ferries with crew.Provide us evidence. Building and maintaining a mobile bridge sounds pretty fucking expensive.
>>18812261) the tunnel is expensive2) especially south london has not the space to expand roads3) the residents in south london are vehemently against a road connection in woolwich due to the inevitable traffic congestions

No suspension, shitty brakes, plenty of power, retards and nigs riding all over pedestrian areas, shitty chinesium built quality (witnessed the handle bars snap clean off) [sup][/sup]B-b-bbut why can't we have nice things????
>>1883832oh that's fine then, fuck shared scooters, they are a plague and people can't be trusted with them, as an escooter owner.
>>1883878>No suspension, shitty brakesonly true for garbo lime scooters and basic entry level shit.
>>1883878And the most important point: way less e-scooters thown onto streets, into front yards, bushes, lakes or rivers.
>>1883417Excellent. Only culturally enriching people and trash ride these around here anyway.

Would it be too hard to make tires like this that have actual tire rubber and use just a very low pressure, like 3 psi, just to hold its shape?
>>1880398A tire like that designed with shape memory metal holds it's shape already, the benefit of air would be stress balancing. Pneumatic tires balance stress by moving pressure at the point of contact to the whole wheel, that's why it's difficult to beat the strength of the pneumatic tire and until we can find a material that emulates that, I don't think pneumatic tires will be replaced. Spring tires like pictured in OP comes close but stress is still mostly localized to the point of contact.
For how costly it is, it amazing runflats are more common or were test bedded on bikes, as everything should be.
I would start by making a more useful OP.Why do you want a copy of a system intended for flexible off roading on a red planet?What benefits are there, and where is your source image from? And why would it be hard to make, because its just some wires.
/n/, I come to you in a time of great frustration. I've been pounding beers and reading about the plans for the Sydney Metro. Will the two lines planned- the fucking airport line doesn't count- interchange? Neither the wikipedia page or the official website or any of the reports or documents I have found will give me an answer. It would be pretty fucking absurd and retarded if they came so close together and didn't share at least one station.
The Hunter Street station is supposed to have an underground tunnel to Martin Place which is like down the road. That's the best you're gonna get.
>>1882160Off-topic, but what were you guys thinking when your government closed all of George Street to bring back light rail/trams? I’m from Melbourne and trams are the fucking worst. They’re too slow if you’re using them and just block up the road for cars.
>>1883387the trams are great for the places i need to go. They are no faster than busses, but they require less planning since they run more frequently and to later hours. This isn't necessarily specific to them being trams, however. In the end it was an excuse to rezone suburbs anyway.>>1882160rail gauge is different to the current gauge for no reason other than making a lot more work.

>>1883053if you don't need something to go fast, don't have it clogging up the fast lines
