I got diagnosed with that last year. I just don’t remember which knee was bothering me last year. Also, last year the pain was only on the bike. You are probably right though.

Today it took me a total of 3 hours to wax the ritchey chain. 3 hours from the time I took it off and put it back on.
If I had the funds to buy 3 spare chains for each bike, I would probably be more onboard, but having no spares at the moment, not worth it too me.

they perform better than most of the other mechanical systems (if not all) and are easy to set up and adjust ; 3mm hex adjusts pads in and out
still not as good as a quality hydraulic system - but still fairly good

but today it hurt most of day. I can feel it now as I lay in bed.
The pain is prolly only about a 4 out of 10, but I wonder what it could be.

And the beat rain goes on. I have only been in these parts for 14 years, but this rainy season we're having is from another age. I'm sure it used to be like this when there were still big trees covering the land. It was like this in southern Belize, but southern Belize is rainforest. And it's expected. This is just weird wild stuff. I for one, am ready for it to end. Anytime it's ready. It's been raining steadily since 6 this evening. Thunder rolls through every half hour or so. And it's been raining daily, in the afternoon and evening, since early July.

Finishing up the day's second ruby red grapefruit. The amount left on the tree is steadily declining, but has a ways yet to go.

shifter ok ?
could it be the shifter is pushing back on that wild looking sport coat you were considering?

Nice - Cervelo released a new Soloist. More aero than the R5, lighter than the S5. 34mm tire clearance. PF BB. Cable routing similar to some Trek models - external, but tucked under the stem, instead of through it, and then in to the HT.
