Morning
Damp but sunny here. Just found an soggy Amazon package at the side of the garage for the house at the back of it. Which you have to access by a lane 100 metres away, how do these drivers manage to keep their jobs.
Hopefully later will be a bike ride.

They are under so much pressure to deliver.
The DPD driver explained to me that they get personally deducted for late deliveries and £150 taken from their wages of they take a day off sick.
But people love their 'free postage'.

'ning

nippybright, with added windchill

ride ridden, went through camden town at 54kph, then the cold proved too much for the old battery in the lefthand shifter, clearly i should've changed it a while ago, or at least checked which colour the indicator was, did the last few km in 53/11 as i couldn't be bothered to faff around with the teeny button on the rear mech

fresh batteries fitted

coffee next, laze, bubbly

I'm assuming you've got Sram then SG, I learnt the hard way and always carry a spare now.

yes, original etap, i often take a spare front/rear mech battery, but this was the little button cell in the shifter, with three teeny screws on the cover

if i had the correct teeny screwdriver with me, i could've used the battery from hrm strap or speed sensor, but it's fiddly enough to do at home without dropping at least one of the screws

i've changed them twice before when an indicator has gone red, they're lasting over three years, but i just got out of the habit of checking, might set a reminder for 2028 :smile:
