I bought into the Specialized meme and got these tyres for a bikepacking trip I'm doing in a few weeks. Been commuting on them on Sweden's cycle paths for a couple of months now and have had about 5 flats. Idk if it's shitty tubes, punctures in the tyres or pinch flats but it's frustrating as hell and I feel like I've wasted my money on these. And at €80 for the pair, I expected much better.

Any ideas what could be causing so many flats? I run them at 5 bar (limit is 5.5) and do most of my riding on clean cycle paths, only really ride dirt or gravel at the weekends. I'm gonna try Continental tubes because I never had problems with them on my last tour.

not particularly noteworthy but you could do worse- they appear to use shimano gearing.

This is actually a pretty damn good deal for 499 (claris, alum frame). comfy upright road bike position.

https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/nishiki-mens-maricopa-road-bike-16nisanshkmrcp15xbac/16nisanshkmrcp15xbac

The issue is that while you get a whole lot for 500 if you walk into a Giant dealer or go to a place like nashbar or bikesdirect you can get a lot more than that for 550 (motobecane) or 650 (giant defy claris)

The big problem is that a lot of America built up around cars, and while intercity HSR might work it's hard to see rail working well for local travel. A city like LA would need dozens of lines and hundreds of stations for rail to become a viable commuting option for more than a select few people, simply because everything is too spread out.

Not really, at least according to this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_McDonnell_Douglas_MD-11_operators
I'm guessing that airlines are replacing MD-11Fs with 777Fs if they can afford it. FedEx will probably run their MD-11Fs into the ground because that's their operation model, buying up old freighters cheap and saving millions in capital costs.
Lufthansa are really the only proper operators of the MD-11Fs other than FedEx, and they're replacing them with 777Fs.

Everyone is either going to the 777F, the A330-200F/A330P2F or the 747-8F.

It's like 95% 777Fs, 4% 747-8Fs and 1% A330 freighters.

Between 777Fs and 767 freighter models, Boeing utterly dominates the cargo jet market.

This is kind of a longshot, but has anybody been on the Texas Eagle or any other long-distance Western US Amtrak sleeper in the last few years? How was it if so?

I'm going to Austin in October and I thought it might be a fun option. I've actually been on the Eagle before, but it was ages ago and it was woefully delayed (like 8 hours late), however in the time since then it's gone from 12% on time to something like 90% due to changes in timetables and policy (freight trains apparently can't make Amtrak pull over and wait anymore), and I think it'd be a lot more tolerable if I got a compartment instead of spending 30 hours in a coach seat.

>>1210508
I'll always have a soft spot for NJT because I used to have grandparents in NJ and I'd always take the train into NYC when visiting. It's been 10 years since I was there, looks like they've upped their rolling stock game in the last decade, I remember ratty single-level cars that looked like they dated from the '60s or '70s.

The trains are old as shit, only half the employees can speak english, and the conductor is very obviously sick of everyone's shit (for good reason) Just burn the whole fucking thing down and start over, this is unfixable.

You need to really watch what you eat if you're doing that though, this is why construction workers get so fucking fat by the time they're 30 because when you're burning that many calories it's easy to overshoot by 200-300 every day just eating until you feel satiety kicking in.

whats tough is figuring out what maintenance is for certain tasks... my schedule can be an 8 hour day for weeks and weeks then suddenly back to OT, and then in the 60+ hour range everything goes down the shitter... eat when and what you can, like fast food.
