One, or many, of my UltraStar drives will randomly make a "concerning" spin/crunch noise similar to when a floppy disk can't read the data. I've never seen an error on any of the drives. Is this normal?

I found out the v5 isn't compatible with the digital shifting, so I'm stuck with manual shifting and my derailleur is not happy

Have any of you given up on your v5 or did you learn to deal with it?

TBH, I've been riding Zwift since COVID, so digital shifting would be new for me anyway.

Is this subreddit dead? My promotional rate ended and I'm looking to get the rates on the site, however they're for "new customers" only. Any help would be appreciated.

Wanted to try out a saddle bottle cage attachment because I'm a fat slug and these hot days have been brutal.

Tested it out on the bike trail and before I even started, both bottles ejected themselves over a rough bump

My setup came with straps, but I can't figure out where they're supposed to go. They're too short to wrap around the bottle and the cage and they're too long to wrap around the cage ends to make them tighter.

I also struggled to get my leg over the top of them. This seems like a fail to me.

Avoiding spoilers will be nearly impossible. All of my social media feeds will likely be oversaturated with playthroughs, reviews and hints.

Who else will be completely checked out and just enjoy the game?

Picking up the Domane SL7. It feels so much more planted than my 10+ y/o Fuji Carbon, but I'm worried I'm going to be "bored".

I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that my body just can't handle 4+ hrs on that bike any longer.

Anyone else hang up their cleats and move to comfort?

I want to sit on an Endurance before I spend the money, which I know is not possible and nobody in my biking group seems to have the appropriate size, if they even had the same model.

Can anyone recommend a potential local match that would give me the feel of the geometry?

I'm thinking Trek Mondane or something similar?

A hip and two knees later, I'm treating myself to a new ride. I've been riding the same CF setup since 2013 and think I deserve an update.

I want to use the frame permanently on the Wahoo Kick but want to avoid having to maintain the front tire.

What kind of solutions have you used, other than buying the Climb?

Is there a "solid" rubber tire option that won't lose air?

I've seen some things about installing a bracket on wood, but I'm not sure I'd like the feel of that.
