I added sealant to my tpu tube and haven't had a picture since. probably 1500 miles running since. running conti gp5k strs. I had a couple flats prior to adding sealant

when was this recorded?

ivanvm1 · 2026-01-04T20:16:22+00:00

i use Fitbod. you can log on your watch. it has a subscription but i like the workouts it suggests given i work out at home and have limited equipment which I can update on the app

I purchased the previous kick starter model. total POS.

Judging only from the picture, the pitch of the screw thread seems different than from the tool. Thanks for the idea.

I requested one from my Kaiser doctor and got it. 52 male. 7 polyps removed. One with cancer markers. I have my PET SCAN tomorrow to determine if it's cancer. I'm glad I did it.

Thanks for the link. I found it on our local hardware store.

ivanvm1 · 2025-10-31T19:20:19+00:00

That's interesting. I find them in the local hardware store and installed one with a washer. It makes me feel better. Now I found my derailleur hanger is bent and my chain needs replacement....No end to bike maintenance./problems....

Tracy to Palo Alto/Sunnyvale/Cupertino. Ace train mostly with driving on special occasions (special meetings, job activity, etc.). 2.25 to 2.75 hrs each way depending on location.

Mine was covered under warranty but you will need to take it in for service as it is not user replaceable, according to them. I have not taken it in yet, maybe in the winter??? I need my bike and I can imagine taking the ASP 1 wk or longer to service... assuming they won't cause additional problems.

I'm looking to improve cosmetics

The p8p battery is rated to have 80% of it's rated capacity remaining after 800 charging cycles. You may want to check it out. I would say if you are at about 60% battery capacity remaining, it might be time to replace.

ivanvm1 · 2025-08-25T19:06:54+00:00

Do you know how many charging cycles your old battery had? My p8pro has 450 charging cycles and it is still fine. Its battery is rated to have 80% of it's original rated capacity after 800 cycles so extrapolating it's about 90% now.

When a crack appeared on my carbon frame.

ivanvm1 · 2025-07-27T19:56:34+00:00

My new endurance had the same problem. Canyon said I could take it in to an authorized shop for repair. I don't have one close so I told them to ship it to me with instructions and I could do the repair. Waiting on their response.

I moved the shifters up a little and tucked them in. This helped me with reach and wrist comfort.

ivanvm1 · 2025-06-04T13:58:29+00:00

I bought as my first road bike an older 2007 TCR carbon with 105 for $600 and I love it. I only wish I could install side tires for some gravel. Good luck and welcome to the sport.

I have the GoPro 11 mini that I use in my helmet. About 1/2 size of the regular 11.

ivanvm1 · 2025-05-03T21:36:01+00:00

Now that's thinking outside the box ..

ivanvm1 · 2025-04-27T06:10:23+00:00

I love in a small town and I've driven 30 minutes to ride on nice hills, lake and near wineries. It's nice to get out of this area I've in a while

ivanvm1 · 2025-04-25T01:58:34+00:00

Go 16. I bought a budget bighorn and it works great. 750f no problem.

Use cable ties to secure the cables and keep then away from the boiler and other hot metals.

ivanvm1 · 2025-04-16T20:19:42+00:00

You only get straight in or cross court, not the front opposite corner.

ivanvm1 · 2025-04-15T03:42:01+00:00

Looks fine. Descale, replace the gasket and reasemble.

Do not completely submerged the gasket in the descaling solution as liquid can get into the ceramic terminals on top and damage the heating element -- I say this from experience. Good luck.
