I have been on a mechanicking tear of late. In lieu of riding.
That and the extreme heat and humidity factor. If it was wintertime it would be easier. As of this morning I have a crew here, so there will be no riding except Sunday, until they finish.

I finally heard from the nurse. Hopefully you are correct with your drug analysis as I messaged her that I'm fine with getting two separate drugs rather than a Vimovo generic $$$.

For a 6600 brifter this is what I want, right? I saw another person selling there and in the fine print it was like $30 shipping.

Well, I am not saying she is in your ZIP code, but in your area code.

When I shop on ScamBay, I generally check for country of origin as well as feedback score and number of feedback. I sometimes see great prices on bike schwag but either seller is from far east and/or has 0 feedback so far.

We do. Latest alert says flash flood warning until 7. It just started here raining again. Don’t know if I will be able to grill my sockeye.
Just saw that parts of the northern part of the city and abutting suburbs got 5 or more inches of rain already.

Well I ordered the groovy liner tubing, plus cables, sheathing, sealed ends, bar tape etc. for two bikes and then had my RD cable fail on this a.m.'s ride. The end got buggered and jammed in the lever, so I had to take it apart. Fishing the cable was pretty easy with string and Gorilla tape. No magnets. I replaced the front too. The old sheath left fibery stuff all over the cables. Don't know what brand it is and there was a mix of Shimano and Jagwire hardware on the ends, but it's got to go.

They tried doing segmented subscriptions, similar to what you're talking about, a couple of years ago for $2.99/month, but people didn't go for it. To be fair, you could still view the full segment leaderboard for free, but adding the subscription pack allowed you to filter the leaderboards (gender, age, weight, etc), which didn't seem to be of much value. Now that the segments are behind a paywall, maybe they'll be able to revisit will better success. There does seem to be more levels of interest than "casual" and "OMG, I need my power curve and fitness and freshness, etc, etc" so leveraging that middle ground could be good, but I have a feeling that doing that any time soon would just provoke more ire. Maybe over the winter.

Oh, and another question for the experts: Do you sleeve your cables with liner tubing where they pass through the cable guide under the BB? My bike started out with them sleeved, but the one on the rear cable migrated back into the chain stay. There was no visible damage to the guide.
