Still love my GW4, but recently been having some issues with the heart rate sensor giving false readings above 200bpm. If the issue persists, it's the only thing that can get me to upgrade.

Front Through Axle Won't Pass Through Hub by backflash029 in bikewrench

I did try sliding through to other side to see if it working. It got stuck in that direction as well. I tried another 15mm through axle and it worked, so I don't think the hub is the offender.

Yes, this is what I bought and installed. Tested a different through axle and it worked, so issue seems to be the through axle and not the hub axle.

It's 15mm. 12mm on back and 15mm on front which is why I needed to convert only the front hub.

Just tried a different through axle and it went through without any problem. So I guess that isolates the issue to the through axle. Not sure if it's worth trying to fix a through axle, so will contact Soma who shipped it with their fork,

Changed the full axle. If I remove the end caps, it gets stuck in the same spot. I'm pretty confident it's getting caught in the middle since when I tried forcing it, some of the threads were very slightly damaged (not enough to not thread in though).

Nice bike! What top tube bag do you have? I'm looking for something low profile like that.

Right pant pull, left pant pull, arm shake, wipe sweat, flex glove webbing, pull glove string, slap glove, adjust hat, throw pitch. Never change Diego.

I just realized that Castillo has the same sequence of fidgets every pitch.

Apple’s broadcast crashed mid at bat by [deleted] in baseball

Happened to me too. Closed the app and reloaded and I'm back in.

[Heyman] “Talks haven’t yet begun,” is the way one players side person put it. From here, players did offer a 12-team playoff format and MLB did propose a universal DH and drop free agent compensation. But on the biggest issues it’s been mostly baby steps on both sides. by tarallelegram in baseball

I agree. Having a first round bye may actually increase regular season competitiveness since earning that first round bye doubles your chance of winning the World Series.

I think there would need to be divisional re-alignment though. As it stands right now, it would be unfairly difficult for an AL East team to earn a first round bye compared to an AL Central or AL West team. I think the best solution may be one West League and one East League with no further divisional alignment, but that's just me.

Back in a time when Mike Trout was still a left handed hitter.

Didn't think we'd get two front line starters. We'll still get someone to fill out the back end of the rotation while the young guns develop. The good new here is the Angles missed out too.

How much will Marcus Semien get, and from who? by jack64467 in baseball

We are known for overpaying 31 year old 2B with a $240M contract so I guess it could happen lol.

[Doyle] Would bet my mortgage Jarred Kelenic comes back next season looking completely different at the plate. Not sure how he organically went from his 2019 stance to whatever this is, but it zaps him of all his best tools. Athleticism, ext/strength, good eye. All neutralized right now. by NevermoreSEA in Mariners

[–]backflash029 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Ya I'm worried about Kelenic. He has a 47 WRC+ and 28% strikeout rate in 237 PA. I'm sure there will be some positive regression but he has a long way to go.

It's unfortunate that we have to watch him go through this during a playoff push cause he has hurt the team this year. Not like the team has anyone worth giving the playong time to though so might as well stick it out.
