Finally the stars aligned and I was able to get out for a 'club' ride. My 'club' is a local shops saturday social (previous club) which has degenerated over the years into a group of 5-6 of us who ride together frequently. Shop doesn't lead the rides, just sometimes gives us a route and coffee/tea at the finish if we ride it. Many times there will only be 2-3 of us, so we'll ride over to one of the many other groups rides and go with them. Same happened on saturday (only Steve & I out). We went over to ride with the 'Gannets' who are generally a north of hereford club supported by local breweries. Although they've been going for many years (guy from my work used to ride with them as a Junior and he's now 85!). I'd only ridden a few times with them before. They all tend to be older guys and saturday was no different. I'd probably dragged the average age down by a good 10+ years!

Quite a lumpty one! Strange social ride - guys leading seemed to be aware of splits but didn't ease up. At times they seemed to even push the pace on, then be waiting 5-10 minutes up the road. Nobody seemed to mind - but I guess they all knew each other well so it wasn't even mentioned (other clubs I ride with tend to either ease up regularly, or split the group into 2). With 12 riders out it was quite a mixed group and I did
several large closes when the group got split more regularly later in the ride.
Utterly emptied myself on the last with 3 riders on my wheel into a headwind - didn't bonk but glad when we got held up at some temporary lights. 10 mins later when it came time to ride home I realised I was done for -
couldn't even hold my mates wheel on the way home! Really should've eaten more in the later part, but running low on fluids I didn't. Whoops!
Mine is even more messed than that, Garmin sensor - the second gen one
Wow that's messy haha! Mine was similar when I used the cadence from my PWM, on the head unit (Edge 810 & ELEMNT) I'd occasionally see 0 cadence, but more frequently see 225 on there lol
Good stuff, amazing weather for it all weekend here. Kinda gutted I only got out for 1 ride, but it was a huge one for me as I'd not been out on a club ride in months.
It’s fine in the biggest three, totally silent. Rattles in the smaller individual gears which have the metal spacers.
I didn't think they where metal? All my Ultegra 6800 (and 5800) cassettes the little spacer things have been what feels like a black plastic. They have little nub things so only fit in 1 place and stay there. If your's don't is it possible they're moving around/moving out of line/getting distorted and causing your issue?
My other half's Tiagra cassette had 1 cog which seemed to be deformed, you could see it 'wiggling' the chain out of line causing chainrub. I pinned it down to one of those spacers which had worn, but the cassette being a Tiagra is a bit different anyway - they're held together with a pin through the cassette which holds it together. That was loose and I figure how there was enough movement to wear one of the spacers. Even after I sorted it (replaced spacer), the cog was slightly warped, but didn't cause any rubbing.
scraped my other knee at the same time so although the weather is supposed to be crap this week I'll probably only get some tentative cycling indoors so I don't aggravate things.
