Only way to deal with it is to get up at the arse crack of dawn. 4:00 am start today home by 8:30. Seeing those suckers just starting their ride, it looked just miserable. And some had tights and long sleeves... that I don't get.I was out in Tokigawa today in the cage with my son. Jumping from river to river. Looking for insects. I saw a bunch of cyclists, like lots of them. None of them seemed to be enjoying it!!!
I wouldn't have been either!
I was out Tokigawa way and was enjoying every minute of it. Was pretty warm out, but really nice. The dip in the stream directly across from the temple on the temple climb was the highlight.I was out in Tokigawa today in the cage with my son. Jumping from river to river. Looking for insects.

yeah, I understand the general reasoning behind it, but during cycling? I'm overheating as is, imagine being stifled around the whole face and neck area, mouth nose everything... wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. almost like voluntary waterboardingBedouin thing, right?
....I could immediately tell the difference just by how light my wallet became....
after the one night stand I've had with the KCNC ultralight brakes I had the next day remorse and went back to reliable old shimano. sold both KCNC and ultegra 8000 and got DA9100. I could immediately tell the difference just by how light my wallet became. but the black matches the frame better so I guess any expense is justified. enjoyed more than I should perfectly micro adjusting them just now - left/right symmetry, toe-in angle, them's the brakes.
on a related note, on the last 2 rides I got a strange click on cannon-chan which I was almost sure was coming from the headset. it's there when I pull the right handlebar on the climbs, or in certain handle positions etc. since the brakes were off the bike, I took the chance to examine the head parts. et voila, total horror. blackened gunk, almost no grease left, just dark matter or anti matter or something. that on a bike used for 700-800 km over some 5-6 weeks now! the guys that built that should be ashamed of themselves. I should have taken photos and send them to cannondale to delist them as retailers/ distributors. probably put the least amount of grease possible there just to make it cleaner and easier. so if it fixes the click or not I'm glad I've inspected and serviced that nightmare in development ffs
Always glad to obligeThis made me laugh out loud, thank you!
That is what sweat does to a headset... seeing your previous post I'm amazed it held up this longYeah the bearings were sealed and I haven't opened the cartridges. But where the cartridge meets the frame or steerer fork, or the cut out ring that holds it all in place, all of that was almost dry and black with grime. The cartridges themselves looked easy to turn and no hiccups or anything, but got couple of black spots that can't be easily removed now
