@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A7: I don't know how picky this is, but I switched from an 11-speed cassette to the current 12-speed one. The old cassette had 23/25/27/30/34T towards the big end. The new one has 24/28/32/36T. Yes, 36T is nice, but the wider, uneven gaps and one fewer cog drove me crazy for a few weeks. I'm more or less used to it now, but it sure took me a while.

Seriously, what’s going on at #Shimano? This is the second GRX x11 rear derailleur shifting cable in our household that needed replacing in only three months. This one went bust after 2.5 years, the earlier one already after less than a year.

I’m starting to think that routing a cable through the brifter in two 90 degree bends might not be ideal for cable longevity.

Why, when you're finetuning your Di2 RD, does the E-TUBE app not trim the FD properly when shifting gears from the app? It's proper annoying! 🤬

Älä tee samaa mokaa kuin minä!
#Shimano ROAD SHIFT CABLE SET tuotteen suojakuori on ns. spiraalirakenteinen eikä sovellu (kunnolla) vaihdevaijereille. Nyt täytyy metsästää oikea suojakuori.

There was also another problem today: My shoes. For many years I've favoured Shimano's SPD sandals. I wore them for LEJOG. They were supremely comfortable and let a bit of air around your toes when cycling. Excellent.

Unfortunately, my old pair broke a couple of days ago, which I only really noticed yesterday when I found that I couldn't unclip from the pedals on my racing bike.

What's happened is that the straps at the rear on the left shoe are no longer properly connected to the sole and this makes unclipping by turning your foot impossible. I nearly fell from my racing bike due to this (and I know now why I also nearly fell a couple of days ago).

Anyway, I thought I was covered as I had reserve pair of the newer style of the sandals which I got out to wear today. DISASTER. The new sandals have horrible bendy soles instead of the very stiff soles of the old style. This resulted in my having numb feet for most of today's ride.

I don't see myself being able to use these much at all. What a disappointment.

Anyway, after today's ride to Groningen and a short trip to get some shopping I now only have 64 km left to meet my target for the month, and two whole days left. Easy peasy.

The #gravel bike has been now fixed. The freehub has stopped freehubbing, so I’ve figured out it will be cheaper+easier tu just replace that wheel. Cheap one has been replaced by another cheap one… Can’t blame me with a price as low as €65.

I had to also replace the front tube…😔

Now… That must be the ugliest rim profile I’ve ever seen! Good job, #Shimano! And fuck you for the big ugly white stickers on black rim…🤌🏻😂

#GoodMorning #Cycling! The #RoadBike streak continues! It was difficult to get up and not that warm this #morning, but in the end it was a nice ride!

The last #night was a #NightRiders blast!💥

Still on the #RoadBike, but that’s fine. A little cobblestone here and there doesn’t bother me and we didn’t go off-road in the darkness!🫣

#GoodMorning #Gravel on a #RoadBike…🤡 While I’m waiting for parts for the other #bicycle, I’ve decided to take #Canyon for an uncomfortable trip. Also, picked up some tubes from Decathlon, so the repair time is near!🫣

#GoodMorning #Cycling! Wanted to get out earlier, but I’ve been so lazy… #KidsOnBikes are on holidays, so there’s no real motivation to push on…🤡

#Gravel is yet to be fixed, so I’m getting my bones shaken some more on the #RoadBike…😅

Back to #Poznan and apparently - some good old #night #cycling!🤡

#RoadBike it is, because the #gravel one is kinda broken. Working on a fix, though!😵‍💫

Du coup, hier j'ai profité du démontage de la roue arrière de mon vélo urbain pour faire un petit bain d'huile au moyeu.
Honte à moi : je ne l'avais encore jamais fait (bouuuuh), et finalement j'ai trouvé un bon tuto et ça se fait bien (bon, la petite bague élastique qui sert de circlips sans trou pour l'ouvrir est terriblement pénible à remettre, mais le reste ça va).

#shimano #alfine8 #mécanique

Where would I find engineering drawings (or better yet, a pre-modeled CAD file) for a Shimano Freehub body*? It seems like this sort of thing would be available (what do all the manufacturers who make parts that work with it do?), or even if it's locked behind Shimano licensing it seems like someone with a 3D printer or what not would have modeled this.

* Specifically an 11 speed 3-pawl system as used by some DTSwiss hubs, but there are a million of them, I know. Any might provide enough information for me to find others.

#FreeCAD #Shimano #Bicycles

A freehub bearing failed on my trusty Cannondale M-700 '91 bike. Can't replace just the bearing because geniuses at #shimano made it impossible to replace just bearings. One has to replace the entire freehub. The problem? It isn't produced anymore nor available anywhere. #sustainability, eh. I'll bi probably forced to replace the entire rear wheel, otherwise functional.

Handy YouTube video of a guy talking about derailleur pulleys.... Looks like I need to find some part numbers. #shimano #pulley #derailleur #BikeTooter

#GoodMorning #Cycling with my hero #Canyon #RoadBike still dishing out a lot of fun!😍

#KidsOnBikes almost got ready on time. Had to nag them immensely just before the departure…🤡

I need a new frame bag for that #bicycle, though. It’s annoying to transfer the gear all the time!🫣

Managed to muster the rest of my life force to do #GoodMorning #Cycling!🫣

#RoadBike it was, because it’s a little easier to go slow…🤡

#Coffee by the pond was a welcomed break!🥰

#GoodMorning #Cycling!

It’s #CorpusChristi today, so no #KidsOnBikes hustle, at least not yet. Just good old pure #Road #Bicycle fun!

There has been a bit of #gravel on the route, but nothing that #RoadBike can’t handle!

#GoodMorning #Cycling! No #gravel today as I’m trying to rekindle my love to the neglected #RoadBike. So far so good. The #bicycle is still fun, despite dated brakes and dull mechanical shifters…🤡

Limited numbers and an early departure for #KidsOnBikes!🫣

Hatte mir neue #Shimano-Klick-#Sandalen bestellt. Meine alten hatten noch eine dieser Doppelgrößen: 41-42. Vom neuen Modell gibt es jetzt durchgehende Größen und ich hatte mir 42 geordert. Ob ihr's glaubt oder nicht: Die sind ZU KLEIN!

#GoodMorning #Cycling! Ditched the #gravel for a #RoadBike! The route was still pretty much same comfort loop…🤡

The bike has a more racing feel, though, so the experience was entirely different.

#KidsOnBikes drama again… Only Franek managed to get out…🫠

#GoodMorning #Gravel on a #RoadBicycle!🥰

Still didn’t get the part, so road machine it is yet again. Quickly got used to more twitchy steering and I was even able to go #LookMomNoHands on a dodgy dirt section!🤡

#KidsOnBikes got me angry. Again.💀

Yet another #night of #cycling, but this time in a full #NightRiders squad. Nothing fancy route-wise, but since my #Gravel is injured, I’ve taken the #RoadBike for a spin!🥰

That #Canyon #Endurace #bicycle is ight and agile. Too bad I’m not strong enough to do it justice… 😅

Bin am Fahrräder vergleichen. Und egal welchen Hersteller ich anschaue, die Komponenten wie z.B. Schaltwerk oder Bremsen sind #Shimano. Scheinbar sowas wie Intel der Fahrräder 🤔

BB-UN300 held up around 18 months on my commuter. Changing it is a little annoying, but is it really worth the effort going for a more premium part if a spare costs just 12€?

Practically speaking, premium square tapered BBs go fo 100-200€, and I don't think they will last 20-30 years... And then there's the risk of theft that someone has to be factored in.

@rower Mostek, który wymontowałem z nowego roweru, żeby założyć 2 centymetry krótszy i amortyzowany, wsadziłem dzisiaj do starej maszyny, bo w niej miałem dla mnie za długi.

Musiałem do tego dołożyć adapter pozwalający założyć mostek 1 1/4 na rurę 1 1/8, ale wszystko ładnie się zgrało. Dzięki skróceniu mostka mogłem cofnąć nieco siodło, które jakiś czas temu przesunąłem do przodu, żeby skrócić reach, a dzięki danym z bike-sizingu przed zakupem nowego roweru mogłem poprawić także wysokość siodła.

Po tym wszystkim wziąłem go na godzinne kręcenie i muszę powiedzieć, że siedzi się na nim wyraźnie lepiej.

Przy okazji odkryłem, że o ile przesiadając się na Canyona odczułem różnicę w komforcie, jaką dają nowe podzespoły, to jednak jak duża jest, uświadomiłem sobie dopiero dzisiaj, gdy złapałem po przerwie za twarde i chude chwyty Sora, z ich wąskimi dźwigniami, które tak daleko trzeba wychylać. Podobnie z hamulcami – czułem, że są dużo lepsze, ale rozmiar przepaści między nowymi a starymi uświadomiła mi dzisiejsza próba wyhamowania na dość stromym zjeździe.

I tak Ridley ciągle jest fajną maszyną i zostawiam go sobie do jeżdżenia, gdy pogoda będzie taka, że żal mi będzie wystawić z domu Canyona. Chociaż kusi mnie też, żeby na lato założyć mu slicki i czasem robić czysto asfaltowe trasy.

A big fuck you to #Canyon, #Bicycle manufacturer AND #Shimano.

Canyon, for fancy ass 3 part headlight integrated handlebars on Commuter. It's fuckin' impossible to disassemble it after some without inducing blunt force trauma...

Shimano, for non-opening clamps on #Alfine trigger shifters...

Had to take the grip off, take right handlebar off, take brake caliper off without breaking the line. Then had to pull out right handlebar which at this point has welded itself to the stem...

FUUUUCK!

Back in 2017 I bought a #Surly #Straggler frameset. My plan was to lace a #Shimano #Alfine 11 speed #internalGearHub, and combine it with an #FSA Metropolis two-speed internal gear crank. I bought the components, I even got these cool #Jtek barend shifters. But then I lost steam and never put them together. It's just been sitting in my garage ever since.

#bike #bikeTooter #bicycle #cycling #SurlyStraggler

@YakyuNightOwl @ai6yr I recall someone asking on a bike forum whether the #Shimano #Alfine hubs last as long as #SturmeyArcher ones and the answer was basically "we don't know yet. Alfine has only been out 20 years and there are plenty of Sturmeys from the 1930s still going"

I am so proud of myself. The #Enviolo hub gears in my cargo bike gave up (it is ok, it was rated for 20k km, I did around 25) and I managed to set up myself a new wheel with #shimano #alfine 8 gears internal hub. By far the most ambitious #bikeRepair I ever did. Just rode fist 10 km with it, nothing exploded, I am super happy with the change.
