Bike Forums - Addiction I

I tried DI2 Today on a demo bike. Its ok , But i dont like the battery pack and the shifters are strange... Carbon bikes ride much smoother though!

( price tag for demo - Scott / DI2 - 6K )

I feel like going back to DA 7801 next time I get a bike; I like Di2 but I really don't want to "charge" something for my bike, unless it's an internal motor.

Maybe I'll go Campy just to say I have Campy.

I did spray WD-40 where I could. Apparently that'd not enough. It seems the dérailleur positioning is shifting (around) or slipping, if that makes sense.

Sounds like a fraid cable sticking in the housing
.. Replace, adjust and enjoy.

I have moved on, as we all must. 7800 is dead to me now.

Wait. I still have it on the Ibis Ti.

Still.

You will all soon be startled by my emaciated and gaunt appearance. And you shall all shudder in dread at my aerobic potential. God help you all.

But He shall desert you. Fred heathens that you are. You are all so totally, utterly, pathetically and thoroughly effed.

The Mets have the pitching to win the NL East. Let's see if they have the hitting. If Jason Bay would hit more than 5 home runs this year it would help. Overpaid friggin superstar poser that he is. God help me what a waste of money that stiff was. At least David Wright is hitting HRs. Two today. J. Bay had one, but he really has been a stiff.

I like this one. Back so flat you could eat dinner off it. Too bad it wasn't going a bit faster.

Have to halfway agree with you. I am now floating between 170-175, and I still feel like hammered crap after a climbing day.

But we have the baddest pitcher in all the lands, here in Colorado.

How can this be?

Your first mistake is weighing yourself. The mirror and your blue jeans will tell you all you need to know about your weight pal.

Thanks. The wheel was off for truing. Actually, it's the wheel that got hit by the car. Maybe something became loose in the process.

For as much time as I spend on the bike, I'm surprisingly clueless about how the components work. Alas.
