Addiction 2021.3

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

@Velo Vol has strong opinions that are generally contrary to others. It's part of his charm.

Is that what you call it? I thought it was nihilism.

Ha! No, that's in the living room, in front of the TV. Greyhounds like soft beds, so has one of those (about 3' on a side) in the living room and another in the bedroom. Hell, I don't even have my own room.

This may not be your problem.

I had that on the Lotus Classique. *click,click,click* Turns out that you have to be REALLY PRECISE setting the limit screws AND the FD cage angle with Shimano Arabesque cranks. Once you do, though, it shifts great and the wide gate on the cage means you don't have to trim as much.

So I ordered some brake hoods for the touring bike. Thought they seemed expensive for what they are but ordered two anyway. The arrived today. Discovered that they are sold in pairs, so I am set for a good while.
