Erfahrungen mit verstellbaren Kurzhanteln - Alternative zum Gym?

Hi, ich habe gemerkt dass ich in letzter Zeit aus verschiedenen Gründen immer seltener ins gym gehe:

  • Nach der Arbeit zu wenig Energie
  • Zu wenig Zeit für ein ganzes Workout, lasse es dann komplett
  • Zu voll, insb. abends und am Wochenende
  • werde schnell krank
  • (etc)

Dadurch mache ich keinen wirklichen Fortschritt, was wieder demotiviert. Jetzt bin ich am überlegen mir verstellbare Kurzhanteln zu kaufen, damit ich damit zumindest wieder konsistent etwas an meiner Kraft arbeiten kann.

Ist natürlich nicht perfekt, vor allem Kabelzüge und Kniebeugen/deadlifts würde ich vermissen. Aber zumindest fallen damit die meisten "Ausreden" weg, abends halbe Stunde ein paar Übungen geht ja immer.

Habt ihr damit schon Erfahrungen gemacht? Kann das funktionieren, oder ist das eher ein mentales Problem und mir fallen dann einfach neue Ausreden ein?

PS: ich habe bisher viel Homeoffice gearbeitet und konnte da z.B. in der Mittagspause ins Gym wo es leer war, oder schon nachmittags bevor der Feierabend Ansturm los ging. Das hat gut funktioniert, habe mein (eher längeres - ca 1,5h) Programm immer gut durchbekommen.
Jetzt bin ich öfter im Büro, und abends oder wenns voll ist gehe ich echt ungern noch trainieren

Something is not right with my rear derailleur

I'm currently switching groupsets on two of my bikes, and the Di2 105 rear derailleur seems to have a problem that I cannot solve.

Background: with the original bike I had a crash, where the hanger was bent and shifting was bad afterwards. I brought it to the shop where I bought it (decathlon) and the worker worked on it for a bit but couldn't solve it. Afterwards, it was serviced (new hanger) and given back to me.

Then I wanted to mount the Di2 groupset (from the crash bike) to my new canyon. It worked, but the rear derailleur looks wrong and is doing a grinding noise when driving. Shifting works but is bad.

It looks like the whole derailleur is turned clockwise (looking down from the top) by a few degrees (last pic is from front/top, you can see the upper jockey wheel does not align with the chain path/straight line)

But I don't understand how this can happen as this in on the new bike with a (hopefully) straight hanger. Did the technician mess up when working on the groupset? Or could the hanger on the new bike be bad as well?
The original groupset worked fine but is was cues, so less sensitive?

Performance difference between hydraulic road calipers

I recently made a thread regarding switching my groupsets (105 vs CUES, incl brakes) where one of the topics was if its worth changing the braking system (hoses + calipers) or leaving it in and just connecting it to the new lever.

The consensus was that its probalby not worth it. But now I'm wondering, is there even a noticable/real world performance difference between modern hydraulic disk brake systems, or is it mostly marketing (and a bit of weight savings)?
And does it matter if I use a BH59 hose vs BH90?

It would also be interesting to broaden this up to higher end group sets like Dura Ace, or completely different systems from SRAM etc (I heard some not so good stuff about DOT?)

Swapping groupsets - stupid or nobrainer?

I have two bikes, a commuter with hub drive and another for fun/long rides. I want to swap the groupsets as I think they are mismatched (they came like this from the shop), but not sure about how realistic that is.

These are the bikes:

Model Groupset Bottom bracket Brakes
Van Rysel - E-EDR AF Commuter Shimano 105 Di2 2x12 ??? 160 mm (hydraulic)
Canyon - Endurace Allroad Fun Shimano Cues 2x10 Shimano Pressfit BB-RS 500 160 mm (hydraulic)

I don't think is makes a lot of sense to have a lightweight race-oriented electronic groupset on my (kinda) slow commuter while I drive a Cues system on my sport bike. Therefore I want to swap it.

My mechanical skills are basic, I did change chains, cassettes, handlebars etc. in the past. But never touched a bottom bracket, brake lines or crank sets.

How easy is it to learn the things necessary, can you recommend a youtuber?

And can I cut some corners to make life easier, e.g. keep bottom brackets, leave the brake lines in the frame?
