Clarifying: I don't actually know what chain you're using, I'm just wondering if you have a 10- or 11-speed chain on those 7/8/9-ish rings. A 10 should work but you could get unlucky, an 11 probably won't. On Thursday, September 15, 2022 at 9:01:56 PM UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > I shall

I shall speculate: I see a chain on the middle ring that stayed stuck to the teeth at the bottom and came back up the backside until it jammed in the derailleur. Causes: 1. Old gloopy lube could stick to the chainring teeth. 2. A worn tooth might snag the chain (I'm less convinced of this

It's possible that your chain is too long and all that happened was that the chain bounced and got caught up. Usually something like this is called "chain suck." I've had a chain wrap itself around the rear derailleur and ripped the entire derailleur hanger off (that ended the ride!), and I've

The purer the isopropyl (i.e., the higher proof, more alcohol/less water), the better; water leaves trace deposits of minerals on circuitry, which can cause damage when current is applied. The wide distribution of high concentration alcohols at relatively low price is one of the few collateral

Regarding cul-de-sacs on Wandrer, you skipped over the interesting part that is a lot more general for cyclists: Cyclists, as a general rule, avoid cul-de-sacs almost entirely. Why? Because by definition they don't go anywhere. Maybe without even realizing it a "normal cyclist" couldn't
