  1. Winter bike finally ready. Originally thought I could make the original mechanical disc brakes work by replacing the cables. They were however too corroded to be saved.

    When I put the rear wheel back on, the derailleur hanger snapped, it was severely corroded as well. That is the most annoying thing to break on a bike since there are so many variations. At one point I thought that was the end of the bike and then I found a shop with the right on in stock.

    Oh, I was unable to get the part of the hanger mounted to the derailleur off so I had to replace that as well.

    When putting the chain back on I realised that the crank wasn’t spinning freely. Scratch that, I would probably spend 50W-75W just to turn that.

    Now, my Orbea Carpe that started its life with a 1x7 drivetrain has a full Shimano Cues 1x11 speed drivetrain and good hydraulic brakes.

    Back to commuting by bike again.

  14. Das wichtigste beim Fahrradpendeln im Winter sind gute Klamotten. Meine Regenhose zum Beispiel hat die hervorragende Eigenschaft das aufgenommene Wasser zu beinahe 100% an die darunterliegende Stoffschicht abzugeben. So bleibt sie selbst schön trocken.
    Unglaublich praktisch.

  15. Anyone have a bike helmet they like for winter commuting when the temp is below freezing?

    Right now I’m layering up under a Giro road helmet, which is fine but with limited visibility.
