We did have a massive headwind coming home for part of the way.

Did some investigation on the net, tried the WD40 to dissolve thickened grease fix (not effective). So pulled the shifter apart, got as far as this:
but couldn't get any further. Took it in to the LBS, who (after looking a little white when I said I had taken the shifter apart ) said that the internals are designed as not serviceable; has ordered the part and due to be fixed Thursday. Meanwhile, I am dropping further behind the red arrow . Even worse, my new wheels arrive tomorrow and I can't try them out .

Did you replace the cable before pulling it apart?coffeeandwine wrote:Very jealous of all these ride reports . Bike is off the road ATM. Have been having trouble with my RH shifter, can't shift to smaller cog.

I had an issue with mine not changing gear and it turned out to be the cable.

My ultra slow cadence. Watch when I put the hammer down and leave Dave for dead.

Today I logged my last 11 days of riding. 127km - 11.5 km per day. That would have to be a record low in about the last 18 months.
I expect that with every little niggle I will have an overly active sense of anxiety of it for a while.

This keeps me ahead of the arrow with a little buffer.
My jolly Giant Defy clocked up 15000k last week well before its 3rd birthday in June.
A few stats along the way:
Wore out 3 sets of tyres, 3 chains and a few cables. The wheels (Aksium) are untouched and still running true
Longest ride: 101.7K
Biggest climb: 367m

Hey Norbs I would pay good money if you were able to take a photo that makes me look fast - it seems most photogs are duds who make me look old & fat & slownorbs wrote:I might have to get out to some of these rides. There's money in them there hills!

For anyone who doesn't know what it is... look it up, it was insane.
About 65km, with 2100m of climbing. 13 (bakers dozen) of the "best" climbs in the Dandenongs. One of the hardest rides I've done, but with 280 other participants, a few mates (old & new) to ride with, and a sausage sizzle at the end of the ride, it was a great day. Very sore today, but feel a bit better prepared for Baw Baw next weekend (with The Climbing Cyclist & Hells 500)
Anyway, very self indulgent - I haven't read anyone elses posts - but I will have more forum time in a few weeks. Meantime, keep up the riding folks!

What's your plan for the 160km ride this weekend? I am thinking very early start Saturday morning and riding up to Thirroul again.
