    Stuck Nyon Button on 2021 Trek Allant+ 7S

    The workarounds I was referring to were in the case of a functional Nyon that has a stuck or broken power button. The bike turns on anytime a battery is connected as well as when you unplug it from being charged. If your Nyon is nonfunctional then these won't help. I'm not aware of any...

    Turbo Vado 3

    The 4.0 comes with a regular Lezyne headlight, and normal looking handlebar. The 5.0 has the light integrated in the front of the 1 piece stem/handlebar. The 6.0 comes with the front rack and headlight mounted on the rack. The 4.0 is about 5 lbs lighter than the 6.0. I guess the front rack...

    My, what a big stem you have! The styling/color choices are interesting

    I think for your weight, tire size, and usage the HG 1800 makes more sense. - the 24mm inner rim width is more appropriate for 42mm tires. The 22mm of the E550 is more road/gravel width of several years ago. - I believe the HG 1800 has a higher max system weight of 140kg. That's more...

    I've really been slacking. This used to have an 8 foot tall squatch. Half the fence got cut and Henry painted over the poor half-squatch They just erected cyclone fencing around all these buildings so I expect this will be demolished soon to make way for an 8 story apt building.

    I've seen it's called a quadropus. Some of his newer stuff has octopuses, but the older murals are pretty much all this quadropus style.

    Trek Checkpoint Plus Range?

    So you used a little over 14wh/mile on that ride. (608 nominal wh/34 mi). Was the wind a headwind or tailwind or was this an out and back route? The same consumption on the Checkpoint+ 360wh battery would net you a little over 25 miles. You would need about 10.5wh/mile on the Checkpoint+ to...

    Haven't seen highlights but I'm happy to see Ganna notch a win. I was a little surprised to learn this is his first pro win in a one day race.

    I have the RX810's on my Bulls and they work well. The 820's appear to be largely the same basic design. Not sure they stop better/worse than the 4 piston Tektro's on my Haibike, but the pads are easy to change and the calipers easier to clean. Never needed to bleed them in 4k miles. The...

    It's been in the works for a while. There was a big flap about it last year in a poorly implemented test by the UCI. Pro cycling sure is adept at infighting. https://road.cc/content/news/romandie-teams-disqualified-after-uci-tracking-device-row-315457

    Jonas should grow a moustache. Apparently it would increase his chances of winning.

    Unhappy with Velotric Fold 1

    I think @harryS take is pretty much spot on. Velotric says the battery is 608wh. Their stated max range of 55 miles would be about 11 wh/mi which is not unreasonable with the rider contributing a decent amount. The OP said he was at 2 bars at the end of his ride and if we assume that is out...

    The weather forecast here in Seattle a week or so ago was 'partly dry'. Oh, and for the record been rhymes with the number ten and not the metal tin. Though most Americans pronounce it the other way...

    Great race! This might be the best version of Pidcock I've seen. He's much better as a one day racer than a GC almost-contender. Impressive ride by Wout - having to wait for a new bike at the crash and still working his 31 year old self back into almost contention. He said in an...

    Bike RADAR - for other bikes

    I'm not sure that your GPS would have the programming to display the alerts regardless of whether it can pair via ANT+. Another option would be to pair with the phone in your pocket and send audible alerts/all clear to a bone conduction or open ear earbud. Lezyne also has a radar system with a...

    Woke up early at 5am so watched the last stage of Tirreno-Adriatico. It was supposed to be a sprinter's stage and del Toro pretty much had the GC locked up, so it should have been just a boring stage. Far from it, lots of action and oddities! - MvDP got bored and went off the front causing...
