ᴡɪɴsᴘᴀᴄᴇ | SLC5.0 Ultegra Di2

via https://www.threads.com/@servicecourse.usa

今日はホームページを見てロードバイクのコンポーネントの組み替え依頼の連絡をくださった方がおいでになりました。 千葉から輪行していらっしゃるというので大船駅までお出迎えです。 工房に到着してお茶を飲んで一休みしてから、木製ロードバイクの試乗をしていただきました。木製フレームの乗り心地の良さを十分に感じていただけたと思います。 持ち込んだロードバイクはビアンキのアルミバイク。コンポーネントはシマノさんのSORAのセットです。 普通に組み替え作業を依頼通りやるよりも、少し手伝いをするので自分でやってみてはと提案しました。その方が安価にできます。 早速、部品という部品を取り外します。 各部の清掃や注油をしてから新しい部品の組み付けを始めます。 大方組み終わったところで近所を試乗。SORAからUltegraへの載せ替えは、はっきり体感できるほどの変化だと言って嬉しそうでした。 木製…

Running an 11-speed disc-brake road bike and thinking about upgrading to 12-speed for summer? Now’s the time to take a look at Shimano’s Ultegra Di2. Maybe you’re in the enviable position of having a frame that you love, but it needs a little updating? You’ve looked at Shimano’s Dura-Ace and thought “that is beautiful, but the cost!” Then maybe you should take a look at Shimano’s second tier…

I had a nice ride. The bike has Ultegra 8000 and that works really nice. The Tarmac ultegra is several generations older. It has 11 speed cogs. For geeks it is an 11-34. I used the 34 a couple times.

The ride was a Vancouver triple crown. That is going up all the highest points in the City proper. Those are QE park in the middle, Prospect Point in Stanley park and the big hill at UBC.

The club had three-ish groups. There was a Group 2 and two group threes. One quicker than the other. I rode in both 3s as they got mixed up. It did not matter. Once again I proved that on flats and downhill I am one of the faster ones. On up hill sections I am not quite the slowest. My fate is set.

The bike was great. Very quiet compared to my old red horse. The freewheel is almost silent. The shifting was great. I was worried about the handlebars as my old bike is padded and parts double wrapped. The Canyon has thick tape and was fine. My hands did not even think about going numb. When I do YVR tomorrow I will see if that is cured. I always go numb about 10k from the end.

Fit was fine as I just matched all the dimensions from the red bike. It seems that 15 years of technology makes a difference.

In an aside about 4 people in the club showed up with old bikes. I mean to say classics. One had a TREK 5000 painted with US postal colors. Another had a Steel Eddie Merx with down tube shifters. There was an old Tarmac as well. There is a "classic" division in the Whistler Granfondo. That is in just under two weeks. I am ready I guess.

I just beat last years August and with the YVR loop on Tuesday I will also clear my 5 year running average for this month too. Still far behind on the year to date, but the weather was stupid.

One hope I hold out is the new bike is disk brake so I can ride in rain with a lot more confidence. I even bought funky fenders. So spring should be better.

I want to add some praise to Canyon Bikes. Delivery was very quick from Europe. It is a very nice product and even with duty and tax it was less expensive than what I could get here to the same specification if they even had bikes in stock to sell.

Помимо побегушек активно вкатываюсь шоссейный велосипед.

Вот пришел наконец таки мой Эдди Меркс Санремо76 на ультегре )))
