#GoodMorning! I woke up to a mild fever, after an uncomfortable sleep on the couch. Both our boys had the same symptoms recently and I must have caught it from them… I just don’t want to pass it to my girls, especially my wife, as she turns into a venomous viper when ill, making us all VERY miserable…🤒
We’ve successfully nogotiated the price of the new car… What a relief… Now I need to pay and pick it up. I hate haggling, but by waiting it out and nagging we’ve saved around 10%…🤡
But it would be to good to end a day like that. Our fridge is dead, not worthy of a repair. We have to buy a new one NOW…🤣
@wlukewindsor Oh, my bad! My road bicycle is Shimano all the way. What I was talking about is to ditch the 105 entirely (with ultegra RX in the back) and replace it with SRAM Force AXS group set with, sadly, the rim brakes…🤣 @cycling@rower
Oh, boy! Currently the mechanic from #Autotesto is inspecting a car we will potentially buy. I've never been so unsure about something... I'm hoping the car is in a good shape, and the repairs done to it have been done properly (it has been imported to Europe damaged). It's also pretty expensive for a used car (in our categories)...🙏
#Shimano is so annoying… I’ve been trying to eliminate bottom bracket/crankset clicking on my #gravel#bicycle. In theory it should be easy. BSA, Hollowtech… If there’s even one, microscopic grain of dirt, it’s gonna click and/or rub, no matter what…
I’ve removed crankset, BB, cleaned it, drowned it in lube and assembled it again, torqued to spec. I bet it’s gonna click right away I start my next ride…
@ssamulczyk finding and eliminating weird noises on the bike is the worst.
I once discovered via pure accident, that the terrible creaking on my old CX bike was actually caused by the very crappy ratchet in the rear wheels hub.
@wlukewindsor They are really nice and easy to use. You don’t have to clamp the thing like the normal QR. The lever is built in a way that you can sort of pull it and rotate to a desired position without unscrewing it.
It was hassle free until I started mixing parts. The issues began when I combined Deore right crank with SLX left one. It doesn’t work without extra spacers which puts strain on the bb…😂 Now I’m all slx but I hate the chain line…😵💫
