A year ago I signed up for Xfinity internet. I specifically enrolled in the 5 year price lock gurantee. I had to go in person to an Xfinity store to finalize the setup (I can't remember why, I think they had to verify my identify or something).

Yesterday I got my bill and saw that our internet doubled from $50 to $100 a month. It looks like when I went in person, they actually signed me up for a different plan with only a 1 year discount.

Now they're saying the initial plan I signed up for isn't available. 🙃

Was hammock camping with my Nitecore NU20. I had it around my neck as I slept, and woke up to find this.

Anyone know if you can get just the backing plate? The light itself is fine.

This is my REI ADV 2.3 which has about 3500 miles on it. I've never replaced the brake pads. I just measured the rear pad thickness at 2mm each.

I feel like the lever travel is pretty far. I can't remember if it was always like this or not. Does it look normal? Should I try replacing the pads anyway? Does it need a bleed? It does stay consistent throughout rides so I don't *think* it's an issue with air in the lines.

I have a Garmin 840 and two bike lights. One is the Trek Flare seen in the picture, and the other is a Sofirn BS01. The Trek I use for daytime riding and if I get caught in the dark - the Sofirn I use for extended night riding.

I want to streamline my setup a bit more. I think it's possible to mount the Trek light below the Garmin, but I'd need a new out in front mount and some adapters to make that happen.

I'm also considering something like a Raveman FR500 which mounts directly to the Garmin.

Anything else I should consider?

Saw this last evening (forgot to post then) - it's near the intersection with Valley St.

I bought a used 2008 Roubaix that I'm fixing up. I replaced the left shift cable because it was all frayed. When trying to shift into the smallest cog on the front chainring, you have to apply a ton of force and then it snaps into place. Sometimes, it will take several clicks and nothing happens with the first click (there's no resistance).

Also note that this is a Dura Ace shifter, but the rest of the bike is 105 - guessing this was replaced at some point.

I tried to flush out the shifter with a bunch of rubbing alcohol, but that didn't seem to do anything.

Any other ideas?

Did a weekend trip to San Juan Island and Orcas Island in Washington state on my REI ADV 2.3. Camped at San Juan County Park - probably the best view of any campsite I've ever stayed at.

Climbed Mt. Constitution (stripped all my gear off first) which was brutal but beautiful. Definitely has me looking into some lower gearing for my bike lol, might put an 11-46t on it the next time I have to swap chains.

Picked up a used road bike - would you replace ASAP?

I impulse bought this. It needs a new front brake cable, front shift cable, and bar tape. I've been wanting a bike to learn how to work on bikes without putting my gravel bike out of service.

Wheels are true, and rear derailleur and rear brake works without issue.

It's a 61 and I'm 6'2" so it's maybe a size big for me. Not sure yet if I'll use it as an around town bike or sell after I fix it up.

I trimmed two areas this morning where I was bonking my head every day. There's one section slightly south of this that I'll get to in a couple days.

Measured my head at 56cm, got the M/L. It feels kind of high to me and I also feel pressure in my temples. I got it at a discount through ExpertVoice and can't return it 😭😭😭

This stretch of Westlake has 3 or 4 different areas where I have to duck to bike past. I've reported to Find It Fix It but if lots of people do it I'm hoping it gets resolved faster 😊
