What did you do for your Hybrid today
Don't know if this will catch on here, but we do it on the zx forums for our motorcycles.
So I'll start it off. Took her on a 20 mile ride then washed her. Cleaned and lubed the chain, Took the pedals off and lubed them( I have a chronic squeaker on the right side, feels like a bad bearing). May be putting the stock seat back on after reading about seat fitment. |
Adjusted new Bike

I finally gave in and mounted my cycling computer on my new bike. I also leaned it against the wall and then just sat and admired it for about 5 minutes. :thumb: I also took it out for a couple of rides.

I just picked up my first hybrid yesterday - a 2013 Raleigh Misceo 2.0. Brought it home last night after a 2 1/2 hour drive to and from downtown Chicago and installed two bottle cages, pump, saddle bag (with all the fix-it goodies inside) and the computer. At work today til 4pm and it's KILLING ME knowing she's in the garage all alone! Can't wait to put some miles on it this summer!

Congrats on the new bike, and welcome to the Forum. :)
|
what a coincidence this thread shows up.
I put on a mirror so I improve my chances of living while on the road and added on a elcheapo speedometer/odometer from walmart.... |
I left my hybrid at home and drove to the office... because of rain. :(
|
I dressed her up (Ergon SP3 grips, PB Protégé 9.0 computer and Lezyne micro pump) and took her out for a spin. :)
|
yesterday actually, but i dropped off a new set of shifters (Shimano SLX) to replace the stock ones (Shimano Alivio) on my brand new '13 Jamis Coda Elite scheduled to finally arrive at my LBS tomorrow!
|
I took mine to the LBS this morning to address an issue I'm having with rough shifting. Since I bought it from them, they reminded me that I get one free tune up, so they're looking everything over for me.

I want to join in, but I've run out of things to tinker with or upgrade. Maybe that's a good thing.
|
I haven't done anything in a week, maybe better at least check the tire pressure..:) Been raining here, and looks like more to come..:(

Too late now but wouldn't it be cheaper to have shop swap the levers and you pay the difference? My nephew bought a road bike last week and the shop only charged $30 to swap from Tiagra levers to 105.

anyway i imagine it would be a hassle for them to offer a thing like this because they'd have to either try to sell the stock shifters separately or work out some kind of credit/upgrade from Jamis or something. for all i know Jamis doesn't even use the SLX line on any of their bikes. |
Took my bike out for a 10-mile ride and realized my rear tire was low on pressure, so stopped at a gas station to top it off. Upgraditis hasn't struck me yet, so I'm still riding completely stock (besides adding a water bottle holder and bike computer) but the bike's only a couple months old now.

yes but: 1. they didn't offer that, and 2. the 9 spd SLX are discontinued so they couldn't get them for me, which is why i got them myself. it actually ended up cheaper because i got them on Amazon for $75, while if they could still get them from their distributor it would have cost me closer to $100. but you raise a good point. i have to make sure i still get the Alivio shifters i paid for. i suppose i can get a few bucks for them on c-list or something.

Installed my new magnet for my cadence sensor. Took her out for a ride and got caught in the pouring rain. Can't believe how much sand I had on my back when I got home (no fenders)

^Nice, clean bike :)
|
I tightened my brake cables.
|
Eliminated the shifting issue.
