they both do fine with the old worn out NiCd batteries. It must not be a perfect connection in there. I will likely write Dewalt and see what they have to say.

You could get a good job as a product tester. As I could get one as a website functionality tester.

Time crunched TT session this morning, 1x30' mostly EZ with the last 7.5 min into z4, a notch below race pace. HR/cardio was totally reasonable but man my legs hurt; this really does take some adaptation.
First club TT is in February. I will need to put in some harder sessions on the turbo if I want my glutes and hammies to be up to the task. I like to race the 20k instead of the 40k, because I don't hate myself.

While I most often ride IRL with my hands on the hoods, on Zwift my hands are usually on the ramps or the curve. Rarely on the hoods! With no need to be aero, I sit up just a little more.

Well I'm usually the same and riding the road bike and a fully upright position so I can gasp down air. But once per week or so I like to ride my actual TT bike in position so I can retain some of that specific musculature. But I think I might need to crank that up a notch if I want to race it next year.

I have two wheelsets for Mrs. Peel. One has clincher rims and a Uniglide freehub that takes 6-speed cassettes. The other has tubular rims and takes a 6 speed freewheel. When I switch them, I need to remember to adjust the limit screws or I could casually shift the chain into the spokes, if I went from freewheel to freehub, or shift the chain into the rear dropout if I went from freewheel to freehub.
So, a mm or so when changing wheels is nothing.

So do I need to adjust the indexing and the limit screw? or is because the limit is off that’s why it won’t shift to the largest cog and everything else is off because of that?

They brought it back this year! But, participation was low and I do not see it on the calendar, bummer. This year it was hot AF and it was total attrition from heat acclimation at the bottom of the course. Top of the climb wasn't so bad, but still mid/high 80's. I won the Master's 35+
I changed out of kit b/c I felt like crap and they took too damn long
San Luis Rey RR is back as well and hopefully here to stay. It also ends with a moderately long climb but its a lower gradient and a generally less harsh course.
EDIT EDIT: Hahahahhaha I'm wearing a BIkeForums Tshirt in this photo!!! Hard to tell but it's there. I should get some royalties for that. I posted this on my IG and I'm sure membership soared afterward

How do you get a bike forum’s shirt? Mine must have been lost in the mail.

Before I dig into the derailer, I plan on switching cassette again. I threw the 11-34 on but I want that cassette on the “gravel tire wheelset” and I plan on putting a 11-30 on this one.

On my old fangled 'lectric 10 speed, I'll set the upper and lower limit, then press the button so it does the crash recovery deal. I then shift down 5 times from the big cog, and do the fine tune. Meaning press the button so it does the incremental movement when activating the shift lever. Shift the bike until it just starts making noise, then back it off 4 or 5 clicks.

This is mechanical.

I mixed up a quarter bag of concrete this morning, and will do it again in a day or two. Sometimes it’s just easier to do it yourself. And with that small a mix it was easy to do.

I think that I shall never see
A day more perfect than today.
85* and quite low humidity,, so much so that my lips are drying out

As far as how to do it, I like "Free to Cycle" on YouTube. He has a number of videos on setup and adjustment of derailleurs and such.

If it were ONLY the limit screw, it wouldn't screw up your indexing. But if it's ONLY your cable tension, you could end up with it not only shifting like crap, but also unable to get into the largest cog.

I'm assuming this bike has thru axles, yes? Because if not, it could be that the wheel is misaligned in the dropouts. I get crappy shifting on the Battaglin when the wheel shifts because the chrome plated QR skewer nut can slide against the chrome plated horizontal dropout and put the wheel askew by a tiny amount.
