But here's a brief intro to the organization:

Funny bikes are already super cool, but a Hellenic-stay funny bike just takes things to the next level. And it's the only one I've ever seen that's my size. |

But yes, I'm also asking how is it they could only manage one million masks? Publicity stunt crosses my mind, but that's just ol' cynical me. |

Sounds like you need a new bike to me.
Which shifter and what model? For a while the back one has done this weird thing were sometimes it does not want to shift to smaller gears on cooler rides. Then on warmer days it works fine. I don't get it.

And to be clear, when you say shifting to smaller gears, you're talking about the shifter releasing cable instead of pulling, right? |

It didn't work out for me, unfortunately. I don't know whether to interpret what happened as that the measurement was BS, or that the recommended saddle width based on my measurement was BS. Good luck. |

Huh. Maybe just needs to be cleaned out. The mechanism in the shifter isn't working when it's cold, it's not just that the cable is maybe binding somewhere?
And to be clear, when you say shifting to smaller gears, you're talking about the shifter releasing cable instead of pulling, right? I'm talking about shifting to the smaller gears after you've climbed the hill. |

Other than squirting WD40 into the brifter I don't know much of what can be done about it.

Bet the cable may be sticking. Something is preventing it from doing what it naturally should do.

Publicity stunt crosses my mind, but that's just ol' cynical me. a) Marbury hasn't done anything yet except announce his intent. If he gets it done, good on him. b) no matter the intention, that's *really* cynical to think, "oh, they only provided a million masks to health care professionals that'll be helping others that are dying." c) big numbers get thrown around all the time, so we tend to lose our grasp on the magnitude. A million. That's a thousand... a thousand time over. That's a lot. A lot, a lot. But they didn't purchase 1 million. They purchased 1.7 million - 1.4 are allotted to MA, and 300,000 are being sent to NY. Also, it's a passenger plane - the first shipment was 1.2 million and they need to go back for the rest. Ball sports rivalries are good, dumb fun, but shouldn't be confused with the real world. |

I'm talking about shifting to the smaller gears after you've climbed the hill. eBay has quite a few in the $70-$100 range. Seems like the path of least resistance if flushing doesn't work. You should be able to swap one out without even needing to remove bar tape.
