I don't know, I thought that it wasn't shifting in the front because the cable pass throughs under the bottom bracket were all mucked up, hence the new cables and shifters. But now the cable is going through there fine, the derailleur moves but it won't move far enough outboard to get the chain on the larger ring, no matter how I adjust the cable and screws.
Might need to remove it and soak it in PB blaster. Might have some corrosion. Limit screws are fully backed out, and it still won't shift fully?
:dat: I'll try the soaking :hue:

Dream build would have had this with an XX1 drivetrain in gold, Fox Factory fork and dropper for the Kashima coat (just for looks, I’m fine with Performance level... performance) and a set of Renthal carbon bars.

Got out for a little urban ride on the Carbonzo; it felt great to pedal around a bit. Bedded in the new Magura brakes. :megusta: these should be perfect for me with the 4/2 pots and 180 rotors front and rear.

Orbea opened back up in Spain. They’re shipping the frame some time next week. It’s possible I’ll have it in 2-3 weeks.

Nice improvement, I hope?
I didn’t get them to lockup the tires, but they are new and feel great so far. I’ll play around with them in the neighborhood a bit more to get used to them.

That sounds promising. Usually new brakes are genuinely horrible for the first 2 rides or so.

I'm still trying to make this apartment suck less. Is there any reason not to store my bike like this?

Nope. That’s perfect. I store my bikes that way. I even hang them with the fork UP. :doomed:

I played bikes today.

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/32481366

46 miles mostly road some gravel. Was on the road wheelset. I hate that wheelset.

Dead tired. Legs are in pain. Was an OK ride.

Nice mang. A 45 mile ride isn't nothing. Hope it gave you some time to clear you head, at least.
