The electrician assumed they were bad units and just replaced them, but finally called tech support and, Oh yeah, known problem! The gizmos just brick the second or third time you turn them on, but we saw no reason to, like, tell anyone. Now we are waiting for a software fix with no timeframe. We may just fire the money cannon again, pull someone else’s proprietary cable, and put something else up there before we go cruising in September. Reminds me of the stupid power meter pedals that never worked.

Stumped. I have the second and third letters and can't figure out the first. Maybe it will come to me through the day

Nothing. That's why it's not polite to refer to them as Hunkys.

the red/orange Cannondale. Is it a CAAD12? I have a red/orange CAAD 12.

I hope I can ride it again someday.

I hope so too!

His is a supersix I believe. Not CAAD.

Well right, but when no one else here had any idea that was rude... "hunky" is going to get said a lot. Generally as a positive, even.

I am aware of that term. Generally pejorative like the words for Italians, Irish, Polish, Germans etc. It's rather archaic, used through the 60's but proably faded out during the 70's. Also, its ethnic not racial but doesn't make it ok. I grew up about 70 miles from Cleveland. I'm sure it was used in the industrial North/rust belt - a popular destination for Eastern European immigrants around the late 1800's to early 1900's. I'm not sure where you grew up (New England) or your age (born around 1980) factors into why you've not heard of it.
Both sides of my family came over "on the boat" around 1900 from eastern Europe. My mom's dad was born over there.

Well that'd be a pisser, yeah. Sounds like the barometers on the tri watches - they're known to die in chlorine, which is kind of an issue for... triathletes. Never acknowledged, but they replace them, so we're waiting to see if the failures continue with the 955/255. The pedals worked for AG, though I do think Quarqs are much better. The issue is, in the watch space, Coros and Wahoo are far behind. And Apple in different ways.
