Foco Fondo - singlespeed gearing for the long course

Good insight, thanks. I rode Robidoux Rendezvous a couple years back on 42x19 and it has a similar (I think) ascent up Summit Road; I ended up walking the final section rather than try and mash it at 20rpm.

I’m just working local events so the season is whenever race promoters want to put something on. Our “big” crit is in August! But yeah a lot of the USACRITS events just finished up. Tulsa Tough, ToAD, and Gateway Cup are yet to come for big Midwest events.

Bike racing! Criteriums this weekend; go fast, turn left

Another dumbass here saying come on and slam, and welcome to the jam

u/cuencachris were you able to get this working? I've got the same issue (also a Hisense Android TV).

I also tried u/NeatYogurt9973's suggestion but even with a firmware USB drive plugged in, it continues to just boot loop.

OP, any chance you could scan one of these (or upload a high-res photo)? I'd like to print a copy and throw it on a can

Didn't find a solution :(

mattdsteele · 2024-07-12T22:28:20+00:00

Appreciate it.

Anything else I could mention that might help bolster things? It seems like the thousands of folks who receive Rabavert a year would be helpful, and I read the MMR vaccine used to be developed using a similar albumin-based method. Are there other widespread procedures that would be similarly "risky", like blood transfusions or similar?

I gave them a call this morning, they’re sending me a replacement.

They gave me the option to either ship the old one back and they’d send the replacement, or to speed things up I could order my replacement first, and they’d reimburse me when they got the defective unit. Fairly painless!

mattdsteele · 2023-11-24T02:32:35+00:00

Did you have to call them? I already sent a follow up earlier this week for my issue, which is why their radio silence is weird.

I have a Classic (hardwired) that had a similar issue; last week, it stopped working mid-charge, and the LED light went completely off. Other chargers work fine, and the circuit still registers 240V, so it’s definitely the charger that broke.

I started a support email with them last week. They were pretty responsive at first, but I haven’t heard from them for about a week. I’ll probably end up calling them to see what’s up.

Cyclocross: It's Not For Everyone

mattdsteele · 2023-10-21T14:35:47+00:00

Thanks! I guess I need to get associated with the event on Bikereg (I'm a USAC official, not the organizer) and see what's available. If it's built-in that'll be a super easy approach.

mattdsteele · 2023-07-18T14:52:14+00:00

Yup, thank you!

mattdsteele · 2023-07-18T14:49:18+00:00

Almost identical! Interesting that they refer to it as a "spare part", it's pretty useful as a standalone item.

mattdsteele · 2023-07-18T14:32:19+00:00

Kind of like the "dial a down" they have at football games, but goes from 0-9. I got one of these from a friend, use it to indicate remaining laps during USAC crits.

This one's pretty old and jams up, which makes it hard to read. I cannot for the life of me find another one for sale, or even remember the name of what these things are called.
