Addiction 2022.3

Notices
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

But in this case the older generation is objectively wrong and mistaken in their “facts”

Mostly so, but they are not going to be receptive to hearing an updated more balanced view of history.

Back to work after being down-and-out with COVID last week. A couple of really rough days, but doing much better since. Energy level is still down a bit, and I'm left with a lingering deep congestion in my lungs that I'm trying to clear out. Today, I'm trying to get caught up on work stuff that didn't get handled last week. I'm hoping to get on my bike tomorrow for a while - probably Zwift.

Being stuck at home last week, I spent some time dealing with some maintenance issues on my bikes, but still have an unresolved odd ping/click noise in the rear end of my Stork. I've taken apart, cleaned, and greased the rear hub, cassette, and freehub body multiple times. The cassette and chain were also replaced. Nothing seems to make a difference. The timing of the noise doesn't seem to coordinate with the rotation of any specific part. It's pretty irritating that I haven't been able to sort it out.

Is it an old wheel? Maybe spoke crossings?

The wheels are Enve 3.4s. The noise happens even when the bike is in a workstand with no pressure on the rim.

Does it happen when the quick-link (if you're using one) hits a certain place in the drivetrain?

Yeah. So, for instance, I choose not to talk to my parents, who are in their 80's, about such topics. Although they are openminded for their generation, no good will come of challenging their perceptions.

No. The timing of the sound is significantly irregular.

I get the Columbus Day thing - sorta / kinda - but where does it end ?

What about all the Carnegie halls and libraries ? Andrew Carnegie was terrible

Henry Frick was terrible

and so were many more like them

Dunno, man. Tighten all bolts and check clearances? Do you get the noise if you just spin the wheel? I once had loose stuff in a wheel that made irregular noises.

To be fair, though, Carnegie and Frick don't have a Federal holiday named after them. And they're not renaming the capital city of Ohio, or that big river in the PNW, or the District Of.... well, you know.

I feel very lucky to have had the parents I did. I am sometimes glad that Dad's dementia was fairly extensive by 2017, because if he'd been aware of what was going on he'd have hated it.

I dunno, either. That's the problem. I'm a decent bike mechanic, and there are few tasks that I can't handle myself. This one has me stumped.

The noise only happens when the pedals are turning. It's baffling. I'm not even sure I can describe the sound in words. It's not typical at all. I'm 98.3% sure it's something related to the rear hub/freewheel/cassette. That said, I'm probably going to take a close look a the cranks and BB next.

We got a new milk tea spot in town, the first Fire Tiger in the US! Pretty extravagant drinks with too much sugar but pretty tasty. Fire Tiger originated in Thailand and currently has locations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, and the Philippines.

I mean, funny thing is you're like a half-step down, generationally, from my dad, yet you're much more in-line with me here.

Did you swap in a different wheel?

I hate that stuff. I have a noise on the Litespeed that took me hours to identify. It was a *click* that was in time with the wheels, i.e. one time per revolution. I went over both tires exhaustively, feeling for any bulges. I rode with one brake, then the other open so there'd be no rim rubbing, even though both wheels run true and there's plenty of clearance. I re-checked the clearance at the fork crown and brake bridge, as well as the BB/chainstay area. Finally, at home, I went over the tires under really good lighting and discovered a very small cut that allows the rubber to open up ever so slightly. You can't feel it running your hand over it. But I'm pretty sure that's it. And it still makes the noise, but having figured it out, I can ignore it.
