>That cylinder is a mass dampener also known as a J dampener in physics.The purpose is to neutralize high frequency low amplitude oscillations.Mass dampeners are currently used in Moto GP and were banned in F1 in the mid 2000s.The mass dampener can also be placed on the fork,above the bottom bracket and as shown on the rear swing arm/triangle on a full suspension bike.
have these been used on road bikes yet? i have a stiff track bike fixie, anything that could improve performance or comfort would interest me. i haven't paid attention to bike stuff lately so idk if it has been mentioned on GCN/GMBN yet. GCN has done a lot of videos on tire pressure so i could see them experimenting with tuned mass dampers.

Riding Into History - The Final Run of BART’s legacy cars

No.1992466 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Today, Bay Area Rapid Transit formally retired the last of its original rolling stock that had been in service since the system opened in 1972. The occasion was marked by speeches from BART officials and a farewell excursion between McArthur and Fremont (where the very first train had run on September 11, 1972). I was there and rode the last train.

...why in the love of Hitler did this happen?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-t5lbPJGsY

Did nobody consider that oversized loads (giggity) need to be protected? Did nobody call UP dispatcher to inform them of the blockade once it happened? This wasn't some soccer single mom doing OF in her car to support her mutt kids, those were professionals moving a high-value freight. Yet - two men are dead and millions of material damages were sustained.

How fucking come?

Shinkanzen documentary

No.2024166 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
This stuff is ancient but I hope that it wasn't posted here before:

The construction of the Japanese Shinkanzen high-speed rails, form 1964.

Both the footage and the tempo if that of the '60s, so do NOT expect some twitch footage and on point editing.
But, I think you all would appreciate it, or - at least - should see this!

ps: use auto-subtitles. While at some point it it definitely an 'eh', it is better than nothing.
