August 11, 20206 yr comment_833660 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 Report
August 11, 20206 yr comment_833663 Don’t you normally need a spacer when you are using a 10 speed drivetrain on 11 speed wheels? Report
August 11, 20206 yr comment_833664 I just know I can't get it tight enough to not have just enough play to make shifting less precise. Report

R8000 should be 11spd, right? Report
August 13, 20206 yr comment_833889 My two new toys.... And comparison my new roller vs old 🙂 Edited August 13, 20206 yr by jose Report
August 14, 20206 yr comment_833926 I haven't used it a ton yet but I got a Flux S earlier in the summer and it's been working great. Report
August 14, 20206 yr comment_833954 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 Report
August 15, 20206 yr comment_834053 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. Report

August 22, 20206 yr comment_834653 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. Report

August 22, 20206 yr comment_834657 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. Report
August 22, 20206 yr comment_834659 Hills are a challenge you can overcome but never conquer. Kudos to you for attacking them with vigor. Report
August 22, 20206 yr comment_834661 I've been working on upping my cadence, because I read it helped with fat burning. Report
