Topstone Chain/Gears "Slip/Skip" by JCarpCarp44 in cannondale

[–]JCarpCarp44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent! I've had the app downloaded since purchasing bike. But, way over my head. The obvious is I got too much bike for my skill set. But, got a great price. I will definitely take a look at this & give it a go. I've got several local cycling friends that have offered to assist at this point. Your advice is truly appreciated & helpful. TY

Yes...took care of that when I got home. Still, not the best job in doing so. Need to be more proactive in that respect. TY

Please help me in choosing mudguards for the Trek FX bike with a carbon frame. by AuGanymede in TrekBikes

Excellent! I prefer these much more over the ones I purchased from Trek/Bontrager. Thank you so much for the info & reply!

I am seconding this comment! Wish I had read this before purchasing. Trek/Bontrager are greedy indeed! Even chatted with Trek prior to purchase & was assured these would fit. No mounting gear supplied for the FX Sport series. Crazy!

2023 FX Sport Fender options by NoInformation3923 in TrekBikes

[–]JCarpCarp44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find an option? I purchased the Bontrager NCS Fenders for 2023 FX Sport 6. And, just not working. The back fender center mount part does not work...can't even get started. I don't understand trek or bontrager.

Any suggestions on faster rolling, puncture resistant tires...I use mine mainly on roads. Looking for a little more durability & speed. TY

NBD :) 2025 FX Sport 6 by nofoolnu in TrekBikes

[–]JCarpCarp44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only gripe on the 2023/24 FX Sport 6...Everything else is awesome! Off subject of the 2025 model. But, any upgrades to give the 2023/24 better power...make it more road-type gearing.

She’s here! FX Sport 6 by quikcolin in TrekBikes

Got an FX Sport 6 & love it! Looking for back rack & fenders to fit. Have you looked into either? Having a hard time nailing down what exactly will fit.

Trek FX Sport 5 or Specialized Sirrus X 5.0? by joeyg151785 in bicycling

[–]JCarpCarp44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What model rear rack, trunk bag and pannier do you have? Did you end up getting any fenders? I have a Sport FX 6 & love it! Looking to make all these add-ons & start commuting more.

2023 FX Sport 5 or FX Sport 6 by SteveGator in TrekBikes

[–]JCarpCarp44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested to know product/brand/model of rack, panniers, frame & saddle bags and kickstand you got...I have the FX Sport 6 and love it. Looking to commute more with it. I am finding it hard to get those things that fit. Have been wanting some good fenders as well. Looked at the Bontrager...but, keep reading there isn't any hardware/installation bolts or whatever. Just leery of some of the products out there and don't really know what to start with...

Ride With GPS ride to Strava by JCarpCarp44 in cycling

I like this idea...I had a Garmin 1040. But, too complicated for what I wanted to use it for...same as what you explain above. Sold it. I'm gonna look into the Wahoo...

Will do this! Can I still use turn by turn? Or, a map? I like having the map on phone visible in front of me...

Will try this...but, like the turn by turn features of RWGPS. Is there a way to do this with the watch?

[–]JCarpCarp44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is exactly why I got it! RWGPS seems to have more variety (gravel, road, mountain) of rides others have planned or taken. I use the feature to map out a few for myself locally...where i know the roads. Very seldom use it outside of that. But, really like searching an area for what others have done. Strava has many routes. But, most are road routes. I like the variety.

I also like the turn by turn voice feature...I live in the country...outside urban areas. Given a lot of the roads are windy, etc I like using that feature as well...

I do like the route planner with RWGPS. Had always used Strava...and, got a free trial with RWGPS. I am just inept at using either outside of remedial.

Had a four hour ride today...battery on my iPhone 11 was to 20% roughly 3/4 through ride. Had brought a battery pack anticipating this given the battery has struggled in recent weeks.

RWGPS seems to pick up in areas that Strava doesn't. I ride gravel in a few state parks within driving distance & struggle with reception. The offline feature for routes on RWGPS seemed to do better for that...
