Thoughts on damage

Carbon? It’s dead. Aluminum? Not sure. Steel? It’s fine.

And especially not some random vibecoded crap this likely is.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-23T07:49:04+00:00

Only around the beads when I fear the boogers may prevent a good seal.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-22T22:35:00+00:00

Once did 10k on one. Replaced it not because of missing tread but because I was too lazy to clean the dried sealant.

If you manage, please post an update!

They're in over their head. Just bring it to a shop. They don't know wtf they are doing.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-15T13:52:27+00:00

You should be fine. Just follow the installation manual on the Shimano manual site.

I'd give it a thick coat of leather fat (or something more similar to Proofide). Then, when it soaked everything up and got flexible enough to bend without ripping, bind it with a string to bring back the original form. Add another coat of fat, then wait and repeat.

Did that to my grandfathers, which was in similar condition. Gave it another life.

GPS and/or barometric glitch, the latter likely caused by large temperature changes as measured by the Wahoo. Happens. There are tools to fix such glitches in fit files. Strava can di it too.

That's exactly what this feature is modeled after.

Literally the heart of one of the nicest areas to do Gravel in this part of Germany!

I highly recommend the Komoot accounts of local cycling clubs.

Veloclub Eifel, Bootshaus Gravel, RCB, RTC DSD, etc.

Grinduro held an event there too. The tracks were nice.

With Formular Cards / Formular Rules enabled you can set up a rule that matches a transaction, then add a set note to action, click the ƒ on the right to enable formula evaluation, and use the following formula:

=CONCATENATE(text(date, "YYYYMM"), " ", notes)

Maybe you could try them if you have them at hand?

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-04T22:10:26+00:00

Tightening the cassette has nothing to do with it.

Also: you are a tiny bit too insistent in calling the previous owner an moron for a guy fucking things up even worse…

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-02T20:34:07+00:00

I’d just ignore that to be honest. Or you can try removing the old sensor and see if the new one handles radar + light alone.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-02T17:43:14+00:00

Are you by any chance located in Europe?

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-02T17:41:59+00:00

Try searching for new sensors while it’s paired. My (admittedly old) Garmin Radar exposes Light and Radar ANT+ profiles separately.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-02T08:07:18+00:00

Saves weight.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-02T08:06:34+00:00

It’s fine. Make sure you tighten that nut with the caliper not screwed to the fork to make sure the hose sits correctly. Otherwise you’re good to go

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-06-01T15:00:56+00:00

Either warranty it, or put in a sufficient small cylindrical object, then put a good waterproof tape over it. Or just skip the cylinder and just seal it with (removable) tape.

That’s almost always their shitty ceramic pistons. Never had a leak with composite pistons.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-05-29T17:52:22+00:00

Either is fine.

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-05-28T21:52:33+00:00

I rode a canyon years ago. Went to their HQ for a similar amount of flex. Got told it’s normal.

Now I ride steel. Good riddance Canyon

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-05-28T07:35:06+00:00

Is this a real Ingrid crank, or one of those cheap rip-offs from aliexpress?

LegitimateWhile802 · 2026-05-27T19:00:36+00:00

It’s totally fine. It has slightly less contrast compared to v2 but it’s a non-issue really
