sounds like the cable is a bit too tight? or some contamination is preventing full closure of the valve.
i missed if that was mentioned anywhere....
is the tension adjustment in the trigger or at the post?

The tension adjustment is by the trigger.
I am not convinced that its contamination - the post works perfectly fine when its +/-40 degrees or above.

it is change in cable length due to temp changes, or changes in tolerance at the valve.
if it quickly resolves when warmed up (like 10 minutes) it has to be the cable because of thermal mass.
leave it in the cold with the cable disconnected to test the theory.....GL - this is such a pain.

It actually does resolve quickly - few minutes after i bring it indoors. I will test that theory and yeah its a massive PIA!
What could be the solution though - are there any cables which perform fine in below freezing temperatures?

run the cable loose? which means it will require more range when it warms up? not a bad trade-off for an adjustment a few times a year?
maybe put an in-line barrel adjuster?

fromt he pictures iv seen of you guys, you ALL need one!

This should be a good ride. I’ve never been to Ringwood, what’s it like?

You wouldn't like it there's all these stupid rocks and some crazy hills, who puts in hills. Oh yeah there's trees also, and maybe mud. That stuff makes a bike dirty, it's a terrible place for a bike.

No one else is interested in DP for Saturday with our good friend Burke here?

I am but have to be done by 1030 or 11 not sure if that gives enough time

 

[shrpshtr325]

good analysis - i haven't tried @shrpshtr325's stache yet. that also looks like a ton-o-fun.

i'd like the HT for CR/LM type parks. If i get it done, i'll race it at short track...unless there is snow, i can bring the fatty!

the xshifter unit is "cool" but currently vaporware. I'm about 2 years into the kickstarter, and they claim they are close. They "merged" with a
larger company, so i'm thinking they have the product ready to go, but have stopped all pre-sales.

stache is awesome, you may have to wait a while if you dont do it in the next couple weeks as my fork on the fuel is due for its first service already (im big on PM)

I’ll have to check it out. I usually only ride road, some gravel, and rail trails. Thinking about trying out real mountain biking.

You been sniffing glue?

 

[Reggie]

I’ve seen your posts over the years on the site. Did not know your real name. Hope that you can lead a ride this year. Welcome.

If Henoch leads a ride through his urban oasis....I'm all over this. City riding coupled with a pit stop to OH.....Winning!!!!

Are you having a Friday ride this week? Did not see it on your schedule.

Most people are probably waiting to see what happens with the weather. Is only my guess.

But your Strava is private from internet freaks like us.

My luck. I usually don’t have a Friday off but will keep an eye on the schedule. Would like to check out one of these rides.
