Shift all the way down, loosen the pinch bolt, reset the cable in its slot, pull the cable taught, and re-tighten the pinch bolt. Easy peasy.

wuts the pinch bolt? I figure out a way to get the cable in the slot, but then I don't know how to get the cable tight again.

So I checked the leaderboard. I am KOM but not even on the podium.
#consistent I am doing most of my weekday workouts on the flats now, as part of trying to get a tiny bit serious about metabolic fitness and instituting an 80:20 schedule. #old |

Me too. I'm just fit enough to be a problem :) |

Quite a bit warmer here than it was last week, about 95 at the end of our ride. 95 is normally not a problem but since we were not acclimated there was a bit of sniveling.
We start with a few hundred feet of climbing and I had a lot of trouble getting going. This seems to be the new normal for me. Later I feel much better and don't embarrass myself as much. Anyway 5 of us did 60 miles. We started with 6 but one of the ladies turned back early because she was afraid of the heat. She could have done the ride, she's a good climber but always underestimates herself. Also we didn't make a water stop in the last 25 miles so a couple of us ran out. That seems to happen a lot on club rides, too. |

You realize that's not how it works, right? CPI did not increase that much from month to month. That's a year-to-year increase.

We would regroup periodically. But about 15 miles from the end, they all took off and left him for dead. I and my 4 friends stayed back with the birthday/ride leader and stayed with him until the end.
I don’t know if it’s ironic or just “tough love,” but if I invited a bunch of friends to my ride and they dropped me like that, I would be kinda pissed. Thoughts?? |

Got on the scale and I'm still 4 pounds lighter than I was this morning despite having lunch and fluids. Think I'll have some water.

If the cable just came out of the guide you might be able to get enough slack by putting it in the big ring, then shifting to the small without turning the crank.

Wait. It’s been on the Bay for a year? And, you are thrifty/tightass? 🤔 This is not a time to worry about being insulting.
