grawk Posted August 7, 2020 Report Posted August 7, 2020 I'm hoping 120 is good, but I'll let you know
grawk Posted August 11, 2020 Report Posted August 11, 2020 it rained, and the rest of my parts arrived, so I rebuilt my bike. Ultegra R8000 full group, 52/36 crank, 11/30 cassette, fulcrum 6 wheels (apparently I need a spacer, so my "magical r8000 shifting" isn't quite magical yet), ec70 stem and bars 3
VPI Posted August 11, 2020 Report Posted August 11, 2020 Don’t you normally need a spacer when you are using a 10 speed drivetrain on 11 speed wheels?
grawk Posted August 11, 2020 Report Posted August 11, 2020 I just know I can't get it tight enough to not have just enough play to make shifting less precise.

R8000 should be 11spd, right?
jose Posted August 13, 2020 Report Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) My two new toys.... And comparison my new roller vs old 🙂 Edited August 13, 2020 by jose 5
n_maher Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 I haven't used it a ton yet but I got a Flux S earlier in the summer and it's been working great. 4
jose Posted August 14, 2020 Report Posted August 14, 2020 Most of my team members use Flux and are quite satisfied. I personally still prefer the curler roller, but in view of a new confinement and that the racing season has gone to hell, I have decided to buy a Flux.... Fucking covid
grawk Posted August 15, 2020 Report Posted August 15, 2020 today was quite the ride. 5 miles in my left crank arm came off. so i took 2 minutes and put it back on, and made a note to get a torque wrench. i then went 3 more miles til it started pouring. Got within a mile of home, hit a pothole, and got a flat. but still got PRs on every segment except the one where the arm fell off, and am 11 seconds from KOM on one segment now. 2
n_maher Posted August 16, 2020 Report Posted August 16, 2020 Went for a rip around the neighborhood this morning. 7

n_maher Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 The commute home yesterday was a bit of a bear. I was running late, pissed off, and there was a 10mph headwind out of the southwest which meant I was headed dead into it. It was also 86F out. 1
Aimless1 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 A roadies banes .... headwinds and uphills

Aimless1 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 When I rode can't say as I liked either. Can think of several steep hills that kicked my butt including one on the ride home when bike commuted.
Aimless1 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 Hills are a challenge you can overcome but never conquer. Kudos to you for attacking them with vigor.
grawk Posted August 22, 2020 Report Posted August 22, 2020 I've been working on upping my cadence, because I read it helped with fat burning. 3
