A pair of these from Jenson USA for a really great price. Giro Factor HV ACC. Last in my size, and I couldn't pass it up.

I put a rack on my Raleigh Cadent to make the bike more of a working dog. I also ordered an Arkel Messenger Briefcase since it was on sale for $99. Unfortunately it was erroneously listed as in stock when it wasn't. Fortunately, Arkel seems to be a pretty great company so they offered me the newer Briefcase Urban Unit for the same price.

So instead of this:


I'm getting this:

You're allowed to have yours indoors? Lucky.

I ordered one today. I'm gonna get all Zwifty. But I have good wifi in the garage. I also ordered the bits to go from Ultegra 6700 to 6800.

FYI on the zwift/ant+ connection, you might need a usb extension cable so you can get the ant+ stick back by the trainer. Mine is very finicky at keeping contact with the trainer unless it's back by it, but it can pick up my HRM from across the house. Go figure.

This just arrived today to replace the rebadged FSA crankset on the Pinarello. I'm still waiting for the replacement BB and crank puller.

This Kalloy seatpost which isn't objectively very exciting but it replaces the final piece left on my Nashbar bike that was scavenged off an old Huffy or something.

Here it is installed

My wife is 147cm (about 4'9&quot and weighs 57kg (about 126lb.) She's also special needs. With exercise being a big part of her long-term therapy, she got the riding bug recently, especially now that her condition has improved considerably. But she hasn't ridden in decades, so she asked me to buy her a pair of trainers for her recently acquired Trek Jet 20...



... which obviously wasn't ideal, given that those wheels are designed to take no more than the weight of an average preteen-early teen kid (to be fair, the guys at the local Trek shop actually warned me that those might not be able to handle the weight.) The weak point is the tiny portion between the axle nut and the top rivet holding that secures the diagonal reinforcing bar to the L-shaped rail. I'm contemplating a number of other solutions, including finding a sturdier pair of trainers, having a pair fabricated locally with sturdier wheels and materials, getting a tricycle conversion kit, or just replacing her bike with a trike.

trike idea sounds outstanding 1) you get to shop for a bike! 2) it may be where you would wind up even after some fabrication trial & error aka expense & frustration re-inventing the wheel so-to-speak

sjanzeir

Yeah, I'm leaning that way also, especially that a trike is her favorite idea, too. Problem is, the only ones I could find locally are cheap, low quality Chinese specimens, while shopping online is akin to flying blind, no matter how big and plentiful the pictures might be. So I'm still thinking this through.

That said, I have found a few interesting trainer solutions online that appear to be much more sturdy, elegant, and professionally done...











... all of which have the advantage of being completely and instantly reversible, if/when she becomes more adept at balancing herself on the bike on her own.

rumrunn6

wow! yeah!

You don't need a crank puller to change these cranks.

A Giro Savant Mips in Titanium/white, Giro could learn something about helmet straps from Mavic.

ARPRINCE

I'll try this one....

Jakedatc

^^ That is what I have. I suggest a few small pieces of duct tape where it rubs against the saddle clamp bolt (at least on my Thomson) can't see it on the bike but it keeps from wearing a hole.

+1 for Giro's straps.. my Air attack is nice but i bought that to replace my Ionos because the straps suuucked. Specialized has nice soft straps too.

f4rrest

That would fit perfectly in my jersey pocket.

f4rrest

Put an old inner tube around it to increase grip.

Strap it to the end of your drop, leaving a tab of velcro to pull to release it into your hand quickly.

Aim the tip down and out, so that you can flick the safety and spritz to the front/right where an animal may be approaching without having to release the velcro at all.



^ That's the right drop, looking from the front of the bike.

This followed me home on Tuesday. Just had the opportunity to take pictures
