Does anyone else place their foot toward the rear of the pedal? It feels more efficiently to me, otherwise the ankle joint is articulating too much. Toward the rear of the pedal, is a straight-ish line form my knee.
No OP, toes first just like when I walk and run.

I’m a D at all times really. If I was to go clipped in would I benefit from mtb shoes? They seem to have the clips closer to the middle of the foot

Early adopters of technology are the dumbest human beings on the planet, motivated exclusively by their desire to CONSOOM product in a manner slightly different from their peers.Prove me wrong (protip: you can't.)One nuance though - those that take new technologies and adopt them for convenient CONSOOMing by the retarded masses are genius salesmen.Also, note how they never use their own retarded "innovations".

>>1635361> The railroad land was planned to be about 8 yards wide for a single track and about 10 yards wide for a double track.
>>1634911>Also, one of the benefit they cited for using regular mobile network is "faster recovery time after e.g. typhoon due to reduced number of equipment need to be checked"On THEIR end.The question is, if the mobile network operator thinks of the availability of its service along the line as critical as the railway infrastructure operator.It will focus on the 都会 for the recovery, not the 田舎. Without a contractual partnership, that includes penalties, this whole project is utterly irresponsible.

JR Shikoku has announced that the 2-car (KiRo 47) Iyo-nada Monogatari tourist train set will be replaced by a 3-car KiHa 185 DMU set next yearhttps://iyonadamonogatari.com/info/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2021.03.29.pdf>>1635725Financial feasibility aside, this feels more like a direct replacement of the Limited Express Hokuto since they could just dual-gauge one of the tracks on the Hakodate Main Line between the two stations and just run a mini Shinkansen set as the replacement Hokuto service directly between the two cities

>>1635537I know your pain. I stick to Hatton's because of their trunk service. Every few months I ship mine out using DHL so I get it in like 2 days.Rails of Sheffield is also pretty decent if there's a sale but unlike hattons they don't tell you what the shipping cost is until after you've ordered, and there's no trunk option.
>>1636255Yeah, I love the new trunk service. I tried Rails of Sheffield, since Hattons doesn't have new Bachmann anymore, but I found there prices are a bit high.
Did you see Hornby's new app based DC controller? According to them:Four operating accessories or point motors maybe connected to each PAC unit with the power being supplied by a separate wall mounted transformer. It is possible to connect up to three PAC units to one transformer but this does depend on how much power is being taken by the accessories. Consequently, it may be necessary to add a further power unit.

Monorail is best form of transportation

>>1636502>Still going to need catalytic converters. Not necessarily. Large diesels only use 2-way cats, to deal with CO and hydrocarbon emissions - neither of which is present with ammonia as fuel. For NOx control, they usually use EGR to keep combustion temps down, and fluid injection to take care of the rest. You know what fluid they use?Ammonia.

*cuts your bike lock in 5 seconds*heh nothing personal
Just get a beater bike for commuting and never leave your fancy road bike locked up anywhere out of sight for more than five minutes. You can even add stuff like fenders or a kickstand without feeling bad about it.Alternatively have your bike insured so getting it stolen is just a good excuse to get a newer bike. My home insurance covers bike theft up to 2000 euros.
>>1628970Haha genuinely good idea but thieves here just want to nick something they can ride for a day then chuck it into a lake when they're done
>>1628700I own this exact cordless anglegrinder.While it does cut steel rather quickly, it's VERY loud.You won't use such a tool for stealing shit as it will alert everyone in the area.A bolt-cutter is the bike thiefs tool of choice as it's rather silent.>>1629012You can't gum up anglegrinders like that.Had to cut rubber bushings with mine before, not an issue but stinks like crazy...>>1629083You're more likely to blow yourself up that way...>>1630668I know a guy with a hot pink 70 cm horizontal top tube steel frame.Looks like a minivelo, just scaled up 2x.
>>1628700>he leaves his bike unattended, entrusting it to some sort of locking systemyou get what you deserve, then.
>>1628700sure.. its just the crappy rim lock that came with the bike. but there are better bikes to take so it has not disappeared yet
Any reason I shouldn't just strap dry bags to my frame instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money on saddlebags, frame bags and handlebar bags?
>>1637283cos it's naff as fuck the single wheel ones are supposedly quite good for rough trails though
>>1637285what word is this "naff" and what does it mean?
>>1637283Because they stick out just enough that you can't do normal parking with the bike.And they are still fairly popular with ebike moms, at the least if biking isn't a death trap in your region.
>>1637288>you can't do normal parking with the bikeyeah, as we all know the real issue most bikepackers face is finding adequate parking space for our bicycles out there in the open nature...
>>1637283Have you ridden with one? Those trailers generally suck to ride with because they cause slack action, limit how tight of a circle you can steer, and they can jackknife on fast descents or when braking hard. They're fine for casually riding around and pulling kids, and super useful for carrying heavy loads in certain contexts, but they come with enough drawbacks that you wouldn't want one on a long or spirited ride. Plus, who needs to carry that much cargo when touring? You can put some BIG panniers on most bikes and those do have some drawbacks too, but nowhere near as bad.As other anon said, apparently the one-wheel Bob trailers are easier to ride with, but that's still a relatively expensive and complicated way to haul more cargo than most tourists need, which is why they're a niche item, not popular.
