Carbon fibre is an absolute detestable material. I am going to utterly destroy this material. Eventually this scandal will become known to the major public and no one will buy carbon fibre bicycles anymore. Carbon fibre is a glorified asbestos with an epoxy liner and it doesn't even last 10 years. Carbon bikes are unnatural toxic chemical cesspool ticking timebombs and the production of this harmful fibre WILL be BANNED.

>carbon nanotubes (fibers) are very simmilar in structure to asbestos fibers.
Asbestos is so dangerous because it forms micro barbed hooks which the lung can't remove. Not sure if carbon is the same.
Thats why I'm asking if there is any research on carbon fiber cancer yet

They also have these really long v brakes from litepro, but I don't know how they work. Not that I've tried the extenders above either

Yeah, you're right. In the past it used to be the HQ of "VKF Vereinigte Kugellagerfabriken AG" and "Fichtel & Sachs". These companies fusioned with SKF who now have their HQ in Sweden.

Another fun fact: SRAM shifting hubs (former Sachs Torpedo) were made there until 2013

One of my friends has vintage SKF branded skateboard trucks

I've heard similar sentiments, that fighter units can't hold onto pilots. Fighter pilots only get a fraction of the flying hours that heavy pilots get so less people are wanting to fly them. They fly like once a week and spend the remaining 90% of their time doing paperwork.

Guise would you say going in the military and doing something with aviation is smart? At first I went with AF but they couldn't give me the job I wanted so I went with USMC because they can give me aircrew jobs where I'm 100% sure that I will be aircrew, but depending on what plane or heli I get assigned to I could also be a maintainer (helis) or loadmaster (jets). With these mos's i can get an A&P license or even a flight engineer cert, though im not sure if that is even relevant to the modern job market... When my contract is done will I be able to /make/ it?

To be fair, those "/k/ vidya" threads have less of a right to be there than these threads do here. We're all talking about simulators, but those guys aren't even talking about shit like Arma/Squad half the time. Lots of times they're talking about nonsense arcade shooters like RS2 and Tarkov.

My guess is if they scaled buildings up too much the base, unmodded game could become too graphically intense. As it is, unmodded your usable space is not even close to the size we had in SC4 using regions, so perhaps they scaled things down a bit to allow players to fit more into the usable space. This becomes less of a problem with modding away the space limit and unlocking all tiles. Personally I'd advocate for the return of region play so you could actually build connected cities and then you could scale things up.

At Cockatoo, the damaged propeller was replaced and other repairs were made including the installation of a temporary stub bow. On 7 March 1943, she left Sydney for Puget Sound Navy Yard, sailing backward the entire voyage, where a new bow was fitted with the use of Minneapolis' No. 2 Turret.

god i fucking hate instagram tourists. please don't be an instagram tourist, OP. Anyway if you're travelling with that much shit, speed is less of a concern than how it handles when loaded down and how low the gearing goes.
>>1450841
the Marrakesh is better than the Vaya for fully loaded long distance touring imo, although its its lowest gearing is 20.6 gear-inches, which might not be quite low enough if you're going up big mountains with tons of shit. The Kona Sutra is a bit better at 19.5. I'd push either of them down to 18 by swapping the cranks out for cranks with a 24t small ring instead of a 26. Or keep the 26 and go completely mad and turn the triple into a quad with a 19t chainring: http://www.abundantadventures.com/mt_triple.html

First of all, you can carry the 60 liter backpack with you. Just break up its contents and put it on. Bags to go over the back rack of the bicycle you will need at the very least. A bike with a rear rack A cheap Touring bike made out of steel is what you want. Bang for the buck if you willing to spend more if you need find adventure bike of some sort. That's essentially a gravel bike. Super super stack geometry bosses and mounts everywhere.
