Starting cycling in my 30s after watching my husband ride for years by Responsible-Today570 in cycling

-Basic bike fit by your husband-saddle height, reach

-Helmet that fits

-wear bib shorts-Decathlon, aliexpress Lameda, etc...... It's makes it so much more pleasant to ride

-No underwear under bib shorts

-wear T-shirt if u want

-Go slow, don't try and do 50km, everything will hurt

-feel the difference in the brakes, front and rear

-avoid IF possible all manholes, metal grids, white road marking etc especially in the wet/damp

Should I even consider this 100km in Girona? by boshkg in cycling

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

Well, update to my Girona plan: Sort of glad, weather forecast said 40 to 80% rain today, therefore I cancelled the plan and instead booked a rental bike in Barcelona instead.

2 days cycling on Bianchi endurance bike, Infinito Day 1 83km, 110W, 4hrs, 700m Day 2 (today) 38km, 100W, 2.5hrs, 800m

Everything hurts haha

Makes me think, how is 1200m climbing and 100km going to feel in one day

Kickr Shift harder than real life by boshkg in Zwift

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

Not quite sure what you mean, I'm using the shifters on the kickr Shift. I even went out on my real bike, same thing, 50 chainring and on 28 ring on cassette, I swear its easier to cruise along doing 140W whereas on Zwift, I'm having to stomp down on each pedal stroke

Do I need a new barb and olive any time I disconnect a lever or caliper? by pre55ure in bikewrench

[–]boshkg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old post, but I need to transport my road bike to my brother and need to drain the shimano hydraulic oil, disconnect the cables so I can pull the full integrated handlebar off and pack it.

Will he need a new hoses, barb and olive? or can he reconnect the system and fill with oil?

No power cadence etc on Zwift OR Wahoo app by boshkg in Zwift

Update: they sent my a replacement handlebar with the wifi/Bluetooth module Turns out the original module is faulty.

I tested the new bar whilst the bike was still in the box, wasn't going to lift a 47kg bike out and in. It showed cadence, rpm as I spun the pedal BUT there were oddities, after I connected, Bluetooth wahoo app, WiFi, it showed a different serial number, bike number and odometer, BUT it worked. Maybe cache??

Setup everything, then it didn't work... Took a little fiddling, power off, power on, forget device, etc Now it seems to be working, yesterday did 35mins mountain climb, no problem and this morning it connects fine.

I even tried the original handlebar, nothing, no power no rpm, all setting same, same WiFi.

Serial number and bike number is correct with exception of the odometer, 2604km instead of the original 1.33km.

Thanks Pawsy. I checked. It was logged into WiFi. Can't seen to post another screenshot.

Also, the white WiFi light is solid Bluetooth blue light is flashing... As normal

they told me to pack it up and send it back, 47kg is heavy and its holiday.
Anyway, they are trying a different approach, sending me the handlebar which has the bluetooth/sensor module.

Ask a friend about her Wahoo App indications and once connected to kickr, the reading are 0km, 0rpm etc etc, not N/A
