Michael

time for a lunch nap here :D

good night Criggie o/

we moved to a new site last week and the bike parking got worse :( Now we have stupid double row racks which break your wheels :(

still worth it

@Criggie but with some insecure combination lock? o.O Why not a proper big U-Lock you just leave there?

thieves are going to take the colleagues time trial bike first anyway

do you not have a employees-only parking at work? I don’t even lock my 7k€ bike at work

just sand it down :D

maybe it needs a stronger spring precisely because it doesn’t have a clutch?

@Sam7919 you can pull upwards as hard as you want and they won’t unclip (unless you get the cleats designed to do so). They do tend to be a bit easier to twist and unclip, which can be a downside for rapid mounting/dismounting.

it’s so unfair that car owners don’t have to worry about theft even half as much

the most annoying thing is that you now have to decide on a new bike and have to dial in the seating position again

I always felt nervous leaving the 7k€ road bike locked with a 4mm 200g chain while going for groceries or in a cafè

which lock?

do we all have to be afraid?

how long were you gone? What kind of area?

oh no O•O

what happened?

but I think you can disable the reroute prompt

@Rеnаud and then it calculates some stupid route

@gschenk I assume that’s sarcasm? :D

you have the most expensive type of “bicycle” and balk at 750€ for a power meter? :p

@Willeke ~750€ for a pair

@Criggie 2°C and rain and darkness is the worst

@Criggie calibration? As long as the crankarm length is the same I don’t think you have to do any

there are now even good MTB pedal power meters

@Criggie you could get a pedal based power meter and just put it on whichever bike you are currently using

a company is a legal person :p

I guess you are getting old

I suggest not squirting a Bison

when it happens

I’ll let future Michael figure it out

maybe just the combination of all new drivetrain components, Silca Synergetic lube and little rain

I don’t know how

I now have 6Mm on a 12 speed Ultegra chain. It’s magic.

the permanent Criggie, in existence forever :)

here in Austria electric vehicles are allowed to have green letters which also reduces contrast :(

but I’m not sure there are any advantages over nice big letters with fonts optimized for readability

so I guess you could use a barcode with 35 bits

a QR code is complete overkill since it can store ~3kB of data but a license plate only needs <35 bits

@Criggie windstopper bibs with fluffy inside is the best

@Erlkoenig: Munich has the new biggest climbing gym in the world!

@Criggie units of time are fucked up but somehow the only unit the whole world agrees on :(

@gschenk I’d assume away from street lights they are much better than nothing

@Peachy what kind of lights?

Leather does make meat “production” more profitable even if it’s just a by product

@gschenk my specialized are fake leather and have lasted 15 years just fine

we don’t have electricity in the basement, so I have to use power banks for charging all the gadgets which sucks

I just have to remember to charge it from time to time. Just like the lights and bike computer.

I’d say it very much depends on the type of walking. A brisk walk on uneven ground with plenty of elevation change (and possibly a backpack and hiking poles) is an entirely different thing than strolling through the shopping mall.
