With the service 80 designer store is giving it's a no brainer with coupons.
For the 14500 batteries, must they be the 800mAh type, or can larger capacities (like 2500 mAh) be used? Anyone happen to know? As long as they're the same dimensions of course.
I have these Santics since 2 years.
Although they don't have a carbon sole, they are quite stiff. The inner sole is some very hard material.
They are quite nice. The toe box is rounded and not too narrow. For me that's a good thing for cycling. Nothing more painful than a squeezed toe.
You need to consider that the fixation points can't be shifted, as .e.g. on Shimano shoes. So you can "only" shift it with the cleat oblong holes. A lot of shoes don't have this double sliding option.. but just if this is important to you.
Make sure that the +pole is not flat, there are two options for that. The raised pole is what you want.
My Choice items from the 17th were delivered to the US East Coast on the 23rd.
Red Apple Wreath, This is a Fruity fragrance.A happy holiday homecoming with the festive aroma of sweet apples, cinnamon, walnuts and maple. Top notes: Golden Apples, Cinnamon Leaf, Clove. Middle notes: Apple Peel, Cracked Walnuts, Brown Sugar. Base notes: Amber, Melted Butter, Maple Syrup, Vanilla. Top note is the initial impression of the fragrance, middle note is the main body of the scent and base is its final impression.
Yesterday night I was tuning the rear mech and spinning the wheel chain I can smell the candy apple scent...
Once dry, the color of wax was white and not red
Rapid drain or charge status failure
So it appears that one of two things happened:
1) 65% indicated is erroneous and should be considered very low. FWIW, I reinstalled it showing 74% and did not charge at that time. 71 miles later it showed 65% which seemed pretty reasonable. Deat at 112 miles. (I don't have shift count but that 41miles in between was a heavier than average shifting exercise. Note: I took the 'bring your own battery cell' approach when ordered. So I'm aware that a different cell than the manufacturer calibrated on (even in spec) could be the problem. But I suspect a lot of people buy it this way since the LiOn shipping costs are so high.
2) A wild theory: Hanging it upside down for storage keeps the motion-sensing RD alive and drains the battery. PURE THEORY but it seems possible.
Does anyone have thoughts?
Is a 145/150mm saddle exist because when I search the maximum I found is 143mm?
I don't like bulky alloy MTB style pedals on gravel. They bang into everything and just look dumb on a drop bar bike. I actually prefer these nylon pedals with a single sided SPD clip. I bought mine last year for $9 USD, but they've gone up in price since then. They're also listed for $13 USD on the Dollar Express section, but I can't link directly, so shop around.

And that happens more often than you'd think. Its particularly severe with auto parts.
... and I've been dropped on the hill climb by freak cyclists with watermelon calves and mid-level bikes.
Anybody get their stuff yet with the tariffs on-hold? The cheap saddlebag and stem I ordered has just been sitting in customs processing for several days according to tracking. There are few more items I want to order, but I don't want to order anything until the bottleneck clears through.
