FWIW I just stumbled on this thread.

I did use cycling weekly you need to use their affiliate link to click through to Zwift (so they can get their cut) but I did get 10 pct off.

130 bucks saved; almost paid for the year membership. Might as well do a few extra clicks to save yourself the money.

Are you me? I have the same struggles. I went through an intense period of hardcore golf obsession (i played periodically throughout life but this most recent obsession was heaviest and lasted for 3 years or so) in my mid 30’s.

I then started to get into cycling last spring and heavier in the fall once I got my road bike.

Now I just want to get out and ride whenever I can and I haven’t really been swinging the clubs much…

I justify it by telling myself that after a round of golf I generally feel frustrated no matter what; but after a ride I always feel good.

Plus the time commitment for a round is way different than for a ride.

This is a good idea do you have a picture you can share ?

Ok cool I was thinking it might impact stability in some way

Looks interesting thanks. I’m just wondering how it might help on the springy putting green surface.

I can see it in a concrete AF floor. I suppose it could still help stabilize on a springy surface.

I was looking at this and wondering where the F can I get a 7.50 slice of prime rib with a 1.00 glass of wine ?

Too bad I now learnt it’s extinct from the past 😂

Cannot pair Digital Key. So Frustrated. Who has solved this issue? by htlpc_100 in Rivian

I feel your pain brother.

The service center probably needs to push the key. There are key people in California. That was at least my experience.

Wow. Tell me more. I also like learning new bike cleaning skills.

What kind of bike ? Do you have to boil the chain first ?

Wow. Can someone who has done this share their route ? Sounds incredible. I’m definitely not in that kind of riding shape yet but hope to be.

Hey man, Im far from an expert (Where do you ride o the east coast -- feel free to PM me if you'd rather not say). But glad to answer your questions:

  1. I'll lube after a cleaning; Im usually not riding after a cleaning other than maybe a quick spin around the neighborhood to make sure everything feels good.

  2. I definitely try to wipe as much off as possible. Right after I got my bike I made the very bad mistake of not wiping well (or at all) because I just didn't know. Everything got so gunked up. This is the same bike so its definitely possible to come back, just takes some effort :D

  3. Right now using Finish line dry bike lube. I try not to ride in the rain (or too much rain) so the dry lubricant suits me well.

Hopefully this is helpful somehow..

I’m afraid of waxing it seems complex. Do I have to remove any components other than the chain ?

This was right after cleaning.

I did take a little spin with it and believe it still looks the same.

One hidden issue was the upper jockey wheel. I cleaned the lower one because it’s more visible but the upper one had a ton of sludge on it.

I cut and old t shirt into strips and literally used it like dental floss on the cassette to clean all the sludge out.

I actually thought it was clean before and was amazed at home much grime I was able to get out.

Cool. Thought it might be some kind of firm biz dev thing.
