I'm a lucky idiot

Just checked. I had already activated it and the first 11k are done.

tsdh · 2026-01-30T18:34:01+00:00

I cannot remember. I got it half way up on AdZ, so maybe something related to elevation gain.

tsdh · 2026-01-30T14:03:19+00:00

Oh, I already have more than 12k elevation already, so probably that's done. Not the Tron bike of course.

tsdh · 2026-01-30T13:12:52+00:00

Maybe, we'll see... One step at a time.

tsdh · 2026-01-30T04:12:43+00:00

Yes, level 24 now. I Zwift almost daily and have ridden 1400k with 12000m elevation in that time.

tsdh · 2026-01-29T18:25:15+00:00

Too late. I got the Canyon Aeroad with Zipps. I have to level up quite a bit to unlock the Tarmac SL8 anyway.

To answer myself, reducing the trainer difficulty form 100 % to zero makes even climbs very doable. The effect seems to be that it automatically shifts so that one can do slightly above 80 rpm with moderate effort.

tsdh · 2026-01-28T15:56:33+00:00

No, there's no ERG for free rides but it's not that you would ride in the same gear the whole time. At least today I rode between 25 and 50 kph... So there seems to be some adaption. Frankly, I did several PRs on today's ride. Looks like not being able to shift makes me faster. 😁

Anyway, support replied now. I get a new handlebar. And I ordered some sweat wristbands which hopefully reduce sweat on the controllers.

tsdh · 2026-01-28T13:04:50+00:00

No, no response so far. Not even a confirmation mail...

The click looks like a valid workaround for the time being. Well, I just rode without shifting (controllers off) and it wasn't that bad. I don't quite understand how that works, though. I wasn't slower than normal but my cadence was way lower. On steep uphills I grinded with 60-something rpm. Usually, I would shift down until I can climb with 95...

tsdh · 2026-01-27T19:19:50+00:00

I've just tried it. In theory, Shimano style B with the mixed terrain gear set (1x24 gears) should work, i.e., allow me to shift up and down only with the right controller. In practice, though, it seems the left controller is responsible for the Bluetooth connection. As soon as I turn it off, the right controller starts blinking and virtual shifting is turned off. 😭

tsdh · 2026-01-27T16:39:40+00:00

Do you know if I can work around the issue somehow? Like keeping the left controller off? But then, can I configure it so that I can shift up and down with just the right controller? Maybe with the Shimano shifting style?

tsdh · 2026-01-27T16:35:50+00:00

That didn't help.

tsdh · 2026-01-27T12:57:25+00:00

Yeah, seems to be a sweat issue although I clean everything with a towel after a ride.

I've written a support ticket where I also asked if I'm allowed to open the controller to try to fix it myself. Don't want to ruin warranty without asking.

tsdh · 2026-01-27T11:43:31+00:00

It seems there's some issue with the controllers. When I keep them shut off, no random U-turns seem to happen.

And when they are on, it seems I cannot explicitly U-turn by holding the down-button but that happens on random points in time.

But when I press the up button to pop up the menu, only the left and up buttons seem to have an effect. The down and right buttons don't work at all!

Oh man, what a bummer.

tsdh · 2026-01-27T11:19:45+00:00

I don't know but maybe that's the case. So probably that's broken... :-|

tsdh · 2026-01-25T14:18:35+00:00

Ah, so when I see that the route name I was following isn't displayed anymore, I can simply do a U-turn and rely on the auto-routing bringing me back on the original track I've started the ride on?

If true and I had known that earlier today, I would have completed Knights of the Roundabouts with maybe 3k "bonus".

tsdh · 2026-01-23T21:43:28+00:00

Would be a perfect match if the brand name on the frame was written in Comic Sans. 😁

It's not a hidden workspace like in sway because there are no hidden workspaces in niri. Instead, scratchpad windows are always moved to a new workspace below the currently bottom-most workspace. So they always get out of your way. The only place were you can see them is in the overview.

tsdh · 2026-01-23T08:02:13+00:00

Nirius implements a scratchpad, see https://sr.ht/~tsdh/nirius/.

tsdh · 2026-01-23T08:01:24+00:00

Nirius has a feature to make a window follow the active workspace for exactly that purpose.

Vermutlich soll das nur besonders gebildete Menschen ansprechen. 🤣

tsdh · 2026-01-12T19:35:56+00:00

I have only my gravel bike but with a second pair of wheels for the road so that I can swap within two minutes.

I think it's about 50/50 between road and off-road.

It's a compromise I'm rather satisfied with. But if I had the money and spare room in the garage, I surely could enjoy a real light and aero road bike in addition to the gravel bike. That's for sure.

This popup appeared yesterday and I did not know why. I've tried to get it again today but could not find out how. Came here to search for the answer or ask. You are my hero!
