Makes sense. My first try with the Bianchi, I didn't use enough force, and it needed adjustment again a couple rides later. Next time, I gave it a bit more oomph - not 6nm, but more than just snugged down - and it's held up better.

Some how, some way, the kids need a classroom. I see the people I deal with, and I know they have kids at home, and I know there is no discipline at all to not only encourage the kids, but enforce the online rules. Heck, I've heard of a dress code now, yet their parents can't even get out of their jammies to go to the store.
But my wife isn’t working, so we had time to do that. If they go back to remote learning, I hope the district has figured out an effective way to make it like in class learning or I’m going to be very displeased.

I have a severe amount of anxiety about them going back. Their desks are going to be 6 feet apart and they are required to wear a mask all day, but I just don’t trust other parents to do the right thing and be truthful.
Every morning we have to fill out a health questionnaire and I’m positive other families will not be truthful about where they’ve traveled or if the kids have fevers.

It's all totally nuts.

Do you push the bike with the front brake engaged? As datlas points out, that's the most sensitive way to detect play.

....though, at the same time, I understand that some families, in a school as socioeconomically diverse as my son's, will have challenges even when it comes to something as simple as "daily zoom meeting from 10:00 - 11:30," so concessions will have to be made, some how, some way.

Mine is continuing to do distance learning with the hopes that they'll get in to the schools later this school year.

My MTB fork has two star nuts in the steer tube from using this technique but going just a bit too far. Snapped the alloy top cap bolt inside the threads but didn't have anything long enough to push the old nut out through the bottom of the fork, nor any good way to get the broken bolt out.

Yeah, that's how I first figured out it needed it. This was after a ride where it really seemed "buzzy" and clunky over some 'textured' asphalt. The first time passed the 'rocking' test okay, but I think it was just not quite tight enough. So the next time, as I say, I tightened it more. I also made sure the stem was really loose before I tightened the cap bolt.

They’re going back on 9/14. K-5 are split between the 4 elementary and middle schools M-Th with remote on Friday. 6-12 alternates on a 3 week schedule of one week in class out of every 3 weeks.

(The new stem was on the Ritchey, which has a threaded headset and so a quill stem. There, the problem was the old one of threading the bar through the clamp. That's what I loved about that Salsa stem - it had a separate, 2-bolt clamp, which is rare for a quill.)

That does bring up a question, though - my new Canyon has ended up with 2.5 cm of spacers above the stem. Should I have the extra cut off? I can't imagine raising the bar much - it's been totally comfortable on my longer (for me) rides on Sundays, including a big climb and accompanying descent, plus a couple miles either in the drops or the tops of the hoods, grinding into a headwind. So, keep the smokestack? Or not?

**** me. I have enough trouble keeping track of the recycling schedule, which is every other week. If I had two kids in different schedules? Oof.

That's a good schedule because if anyone gets infected, they're sure to be symptomatic by the time they would go back. I hope they're keeping them in cohorts and not mixing them up, though.
