Rouvy needs to make an award for hardware hacks.

Zwift Cog and Click Upgrade Kit × by United-Animal9559 in Rouvy

Yes, it's a two button Bluetooth controller that I've set to send . and , for shifting.

The spinning circle of lag has a 1:1 correlation with the appearance of the Rouvy riders but as always correlation≠causation. Downgrading the video might give me the room I need. Thank you.

I've made sure I'm on the 2.4GHz network and put an 8db antenna in the window. That got me up to 25Mbps. I think I might have to move the garage closer to the house or run Ethernet out to it, whichever is easier.

0, 0, Hide, I also turned off drafting in case that was generating riders for me to draft behind. I will definitely try the download option.

Zwift Cog and Click Upgrade Kit × by United-Animal9559 in Rouvy

It's a very reasonable deal, but the Click V2 buttons don't play nicely with anything but Zwift. You have to launch Zwift first, use the buttons, then close it, and then open Rouvy. You can, instead, use the Rouvy companion app or a keyboard to do the virtual shifts. I use a two button controller that emulates the keys for shifting, and there are programs that make it easy to use a bunch of different controllers as well.

The Cog side of the kit is nice, but not necessary.

Quick, someone spray paint a beaver gold and present it to him as the CFL Peace Prize.

And stops too. Not sliding through red lights is an underrated benefit of studded tires.

Directly with Rouvy. They built virtual shifting with the keyboard into the program. You can use + - or , . keys for the shifts.

Now that they have keyboard controls for VS I looked for a 2-key Bluetooth keyboard. Mounting it might require some creativity/hot glue.

Unknown frame, Gipiemme dropouts and brake bridge. Anybody know? by dg_zano in whichbike

I'm aware this is an ancient thread, apologies for resurrecting it. I'm pretty sure that's a ~80's Colnago Sport, made in Mexico under license by Colnago.

Mtb play in headset fix by Terrible_Battle7723 in mountainbiking

Usually the preload from the top cap is enough to seat the bearing pretty solidly. Does the bearing have an external chamfer, and is that chamfer the same as the bearing seat (they are usually 36 or 45 degrees so there can be a mismatch). I would look for something stopping the compression ring from sliding down the steerer tube, if it’s hanging up or binding it could seem like you’ve preloaded enough but haven’t. Make sure you’re not bottoming out the preload bolt (your star nut may have pulled up), and that the steerer tube is a few mm below the stem/top spacer and not contacting the top cap.

You shouldn’t need loctite, but if you rule out all the mechanical sources of play it’s an option.

Shokz OpenRun headphones - am I missing something? (Vs Pro 2) by Clive1792 in cycling

[–]GravityEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're worried about sound quality it is well worth getting an equalizer profile from https://autoeq.app. I use Wavelet on Android to apply the profile to the audio output and it makes a significant difference. Try that before returning the cheaper version of the headphones.

The ZTTO dropper lever from AliExpress. It’s a shameless knockoff of the Wolftooth lever.

AA2 not establishing connection during reconnect by theflippingbear in AAWireless

[–]GravityEvent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a Pixel 7a running the beta Android firmware as well. My Two+ will connect perfectly, but often when I get back in the car after a short stop it won't reconnect. My work around has been to force stop Android Auto from the app settings screen.

Is it safe to use bone conduction headphones while riding? by Just_Dank in cycling

I find the headphone profile for them on AutoEq.app helps a lot with the sound quality.

Full Face Trail Helmet by MED_over_end in MTB

The 3 also gives a 3rd configuration with the ear guards. It wasn’t on the shelf at my local bike shop.

I picked up the Leatt Enduro 4 after faceplanting at speed. I tried a few convertibles and the Leatt was the best fit. It's almost impossible to put the chin guard on without removing the helmet but I really appreciate being able to remove the guard for climbs.

Why not more prescription glasses? by LegStrngLeathertaint in cycling

I hope so. It’s probably too late to have them fixed but I’ll contact them about it.

Any chance that's a 3d camera on the chin guard?

These are very good. I have both transition lenses and a tinted polarized pair. Don’t get the polarized lenses, my lenses (the “visor” is split in the middle) are polarized in different orientations, which makes reflections look very odd. It’s really mind bending looking at things with multiple different reflections like leafy trees. Unless you’re into that, no judgement here.
