I just bought a Lezyne Super Pro cycling computer. It's water resistant but I was a little worried about taking it out for a long ride in the rain this morning. Should I be worried or will it be fine in steady rain so long as the USB port is not exposed?
I like it but this is my first GPS so I have nothing to compare it to. The website is definitely a bit clunky (the phone app is better) and the unit itself isn't a sleek as a Wahoo or Garmin. I've also been a bit confused by the turn-by-turn navigation a few times, but I think that might be me not understanding the unit properly. What do you mean exactly by 'update my routes'?How do you like the Lezyne? (My Wahoo has gone on the fritz again... won't update my routes. Looking for a cheaper alternative that works, sooo....)
This is a review of mine and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have that feature:@stu_kawagoe On the Wahoo Bolt, you can create routes on Strava or RWGPS and they load automatically to the Wahoo when it syncs and then you just select the route you want to ride. I tend to tinker with my routes a lot on Strava and, normally, when the Bolt syncs, the changes to the routes are updated on the Bolt. That isn't happening anymore, I suspect because of a recent software update.
I didn't apply more heat than a couple of minutes with a regular lighter would produce. Staff at my LBS suggested using acid in order to desolve the corroison. He said that with corrosion consist of calcium. I've not read/heard of that method, but I'll give it a try I guess, since there's no improvement so far.Okay so hit the spray, wait a few days and then you can put a hex wrench in the bolt head ahd heating the hex wrench will heat the bolt and the surroiunding aluminium as well. You may lose some paint but nothing that can't be painted over with a small brush and touch paint. Take your time and try not to force things.
trying to think how to get lower gear ratio on my road bike.
currently I have 11-28 at the back, 52-36 in the front. both RD and FD are Ultegra 8000 series. for a MAMIL like myself, grinding on climbs has become less fun over the years. the setup on the front is cannondale proprietary stuff (BB, cranks, chainrings) so it's best left untouched methinks. I don't think investing in a 50-34 spidering is worth money and effort now (perhaps if/when I wear down the chainrings eventually). I'm thinking if I switched to GRX RD and an 11-34 cassette that should be much better and surely sufficient overall. not sure if the RD can take such gearing though? shimano compatibility has this to say about it:

am I reading this right, in that cassette is limited to 34 or less, and chainring to 30 or bigger, i.e. no upper limit on the size of the chainring? if so, that certainly seems like the cheapest and most straightforward way of achieving most of what I need. I don't see anything that suggests front shifting could be jeopardized either in such a setup...
I guess I'll have the same gearing on my cannon chan as you do on your Bike Friday soon.
I've got 2 sets of Shimano R500 wheels sitting around that still have a lot of life left in them. However, the freehub will not fit an 11 speed road cassette but will fit an 11 speed mtb cassette.
Debating the best option.
1) buy a new Shimano RS100 rear wheel that accepts the 11 speed road cassette (8,000 yen)
2) buy an 11 speed freehub to replace the one on the R500. (about 3,000 yen?)
I've never replaced a freehub before so don't know what to expect. Searching online for Shimano freehubs, there isn't a lot of info on compatibility. So, if I went with option 2 and got a new Shimano 11 spd freehub, does anyone know if I would encounter compatibility issues with my old R500, (or any other issues to be aware of)?
