Was cycle touring in Thailand about 15 years ago . I wanted to see these Khmer ruins that we're right on the Cambodia border. There was a total of three ruins, the first two were kind of next to each other, while the third was 500 meters south. This was 15 years ago and there was just no one out there, I was the only one there. I come to the first ruin, and look around and it was ok. Then I decide to walk south 500 meters to the next ruin. What I didn't know at the time was that I was at the 500 meter south ruin to begin with, but because I came in on a dirt road from the East, I didn't know that. I start walking south, pass through a fence and continue through some forest. Then I come to the "Danger, Land Mines" signs. I decided to skip the rest of the walk and go back to my bike. I left the area on a paved road, and after 500 meters came to the other ruins. As it turned out I came to the far south ruin first, then walked across the border into Cambodia and ended up in an old mine field in a forest.

newfag here.Do you guys know of any trains that are far from their homeland, and if they still operate- even recreationally. I'm talking about a large manufacturing nation having engines in a competitor's country. Like a British steam engine made in Whales, that now resides in Florida or something.The only example of this I found was the Southern Pacific engine #9010 at Niles Canyon, also known as the "Kraut-" because German. Pic related.

>>1131761There are several chink locos in the US (both the QJ and SY series).
CF7- General Motors basically stripped an EMD F-Unit of its carbody and gave it a more general-purpose look. Everything about it just seems...off.
>>1131911I agree, but they're as 'Murican as it gets. But after being in the cab of that exact engine, I can SEE why they did it- the windows are actually useful now.
>>1131925Suppose so, think it's intended mostly for switching jobs anyhow.

How are planes transported over seas? Embraer 170 has range of 3500km and is manufactured in brazil. How do the planes end up from brazil to europe? They cant cross the atlantic ocean by flying.Planes and transportation is technology.

Electric locomotives general?
>>11301860 series is sexy but my favorite is the 100 series. It looks like it's from both 1985 and 2015 at the same time.
>>1128489I don't believe you. Where are all the people on top and hanging off the sides?
>>1124859>Or just leave them as diesel electric because I seriously doubt you're installing wires over all yard and industry tracks which gets me back to, "why install it in the first place?"Why not electo-diesel locos?Small diesel generator that makes enough power for it to slowly move round non-electrified yards and electric running the rest of the time.Like pic related (BR class 88)

90 Rigid MTB was a good start. But why dump money into a dead standard?With a 90 Rigid Hybrid, you get a 135 rear dropout, and access to cyclocross tires. Add on some drop bars + mini'vs and you got a great "allroad / cx / grave'" bikeCome on and join in on the fun
>>1131537Tires don't enter the argument since whatever comfort improvement they offer will still be present in a steel frame.
>>1131537I agree. In the 35mm+ range there's no point in lugging a steel boat anchor frame around
>>1131529>Define "affordable."Cheap enough you won't feel dumb putting them on a $25 hybrid frame from 25 years ago

Any ideas on why my sram pc860 chain power links connectors keep coming off, as soon as my bike meets any type of resistance like uphill or when i stand on it the chain breaks apart, I have put new clips and this has happened like 7 times so far. I dont know what I am doing wrong. It doesnt happen all the time just sometimes at the worse times. Today I had to walk 3 miles because i lost the connector.any ideas>pic related
>>1131297>>1131252>>1131187>Faggots don't realize unless you splurge for XTR or Dura Ace, you're getting KMC with Shimano logosYou'd think the whole made in Malaysia would be a giveaway...
>>1131298KMC is made in taiwan
>>1131298Cheaper groupsets come from Japan and KMC does not make chains in Japan iirc.
>>1131298>>1131300>>1131338Shimano factories are in Japan (the good stuff) and Singapore and Malaysia for the price point stuff. KMC is Taiwan.
>>1131117I've been using shit tier quick links from ebay. Used them on two 750w ebikes and on my citybike no problemo.

How is technology changing the transportation industry? What trends are becoming apparent? What is being developed that most people are unaware of?
>>1131037Nothing would please me more than to see cagers "profiled" and "discriminated" againstThey're basically licensed murderers as it is
>>1131064>Why wouldn't it just send everything?Because car is programmed not to and you don't allow the government to collect that data. It's very easy to do with your OBD-II port and a cellular connection.Or if you're still taking your extreme crazy pills you just collect the odometer data yearly by visually inspecting it.
>>1131064Total non-sequitur.

>>1131450>smartphoneBrilliant. We should make all cyclists use it and quantify how much each bicyclist slows down traffic and charge them for wasting my time while driving. I think we'd see fewer cyclists if they had to pay me my hourly rate for all my time they waste. Don't get me started on pedestrians crossing the street while I'm trying to turn.
The cable keeps pulling out of my lever. The lever has a swiveling HOOK that holds onto the cable-end barrel thing. I don't know if the hook is bent, but it keeps slipping out as I'm trying to adjust the gap at the pads. No idea what brand brakes I have, Not the ones in the picture though.
>>1131545I had to read and re-read this several times to understand, and it completely makes sense. Maybe ~1/2" behind the cable, there was a minor kink, it may interfere a bit. Will it be okay to spray WD40 with a straw in the cable housing? I have 3 in 1 and bike specific oil too.
>>1131549haha yea sorry i could have said that simpler. Any of those would be fine, i'd use the chain oil. If it's kinked where it passes inside the outer cable, you'll need to replace it.
>>1131552You're the man, man. It is kinked far back, but its working better now. So I just buy MTB brake cables and cable housing? Are there specific lengths?
>>1131553Yeah. There are diff lengths but front (short) & rear (long) is generally all that matters.Use a bicycle specific cable tool to cut the cables & housing, file or angle grind the housing ends smooth then use a scriber/awl/pointy thing to open up the hole. Make sure the inner glides through.
Sweet. Getting the $8 shimano set on amazon.
