Metaphorically speaking. How about the other side of the RR tracks??

Right. Houses are only a mil and a half there.

Yeah, I suppose your dollars go further in Buffalo. But what type of idiot wants to retire there?? :innocent:

Not me, god knows! But Mrs. GJ will only consider place where she "knows someone", even if it's someone she hasn't been in contact with for years.

Feel free to let her know one of your BF knucklehead friends thinks that is NOT a rational way to choose where to live.

Remember that SYSTM was Sufferfest prior to acquisition by Wahoo. While there were some rides with accompanying videos, that's not their schtick - it's structured workouts with tailored power zones. No experience with either FulGaz or Rouvy ( MoAlpha has logged a bunch of Rouvy rides, IIRC), but either has to be closer to what you're looking for.

I was using it for structured training and group rides, but the groups are polarized training poison and Rouvy now has a custom workout feature, which will take care of my structure and controlled long-easy needs. What I need most is mildly stimulating visuals to accompany music or voice material and Rouvy provides that at a bargain price, since my wife and I can share a subscription. I also find the Zwift visuals depressingly bad. Rouvy uses video and the routes are pretty cool.

Beautiful, when does yours come in?

In Ritchey news, some significant happenings. On yesterdays ride, out of no we’re it would shift to the big ring. The front derailer would shift, but it wasn’t enough to move the chain to the big ring. I tried adjusting the High but all I managed to do was make the chain rub on the little ring. Will have to play with that more.

I also removed the tape. Y’all successfully made me self conscious about my brake cable routing so I’m going to fix that. I also move the hoods down about 7 degrees and then tilted them inward significantly. I was finding the hoods to be uncomfortable at the height they were at, and I plan on tilting all my hoods in. The way I ride with my forearms parrallel to the ground it causes me to tilt my wrist back when I am on the hoods. Still have to test ride it to make sure I like it, I might have to bring them back up a degree or two.

Funny, I had my LBS wrap my other two bikes in the past and both times I asked them to tilt the hoods in, and both times they barely had any angle. They thought I was nuts, but it makes sense to me.

FD is a cable tension adjustment. Use the barrel adjuster.

The limit screws do nothing to cable tension. They limit the amount the derailer is allowed to move.

I was under the impression the limit was off that is why it wasn’t pushing the chain onto the big ring?

If you had been able to go to the big ring, but then suddenly can't, unless you or someone else played with the limit screws, it's not the limit screws.

Really? I have not found that to be the case in my observations, other than my first love who obviously sought to get away from me as far as she could.

The wife and I did a very small concrete project just as the sun was setting. Now, an hour later, I can barely move. The locals mix cement by hand day in and day out.

I had planned on a decent week this week but came down with vertigo yesterday and spent the day puking.

For the trainer discussion, I plan on doing Trainer Road all winter. I am doing it with a goal in mind, last spring I did Rasputitsa gravel race (100k, 7500 climbing) at 14.6 this year I want an 18 average.
