Finally completed the 'SST Short' workout on Zwift, in Erg mode. That was a bear. Interesting looking at HR and cadence over the workout. Cadence drops from 94 to 84, while HR rises from 140-165. Whew! Last 5 minutes, even at only 230w were hard. Erg mode is definitely relentless.
Took apart my RX100 hub and cleaned up the bits. The bearing look fine. The drive side cone looks fine. The non-drive side cone looks like this:
So, off to the Wheels Manufacturing webside I went, identified the correct cone, and found it on Amazon. Now I just have to wait till next week for it to arrive.
I hate waiting.

Early on in this mess I saw a video of a cat that photobombed a news broadcast from home. It may have been in England. The car walks along a high mantle behind the reporter, plops down and starts licking its butt.

The idea is to do your civic duty while it's (literally) light stuff.

This one is good . . .

This one is even better . . .
But there's a new one even betterer. Coming soon.

That explains the crunchiness, don't it? Must be English toast - cold, dry, and crunchy.

Our new debit cards took two weeks from NY to our bank in Ohio. The woman at the bank says it's normal.

Working up to gluing my first ever tubular tire. Anyone have any good tips? Well wishes?
We are having unseaonably warm weather here. Hard to believe it's so cold and nasty just on the other side of the gulf.

I lusted after Cannondale for awhile. I really like their gear. I have a set of rear panniers, two handlebar bags and a tubular tire underseat bag. Possibly more that I'm not thinking of.

Those are the tips I recall. Of course I have not mounted a tubular since 1988 or 1989.
