Road Cycling

Lol please. :confused:

Power button to device screen.
Shift up/down to required device.
Enter to calibrate.

I always zero-offset even though it's only advised to do so 'periodically'. Worth checking your crank lengths are set correctly, if this is an option for your specific PM, as you will get wildly varying numbers from incorrect or mismatched crank length settings.
 
Crank length doesn't matter with the C1 as it's chainring based! ;)

Power button, scroll 1, 2, 3,(start of sensors) 4, 5, 6, Power highlighted & select, press calibrate, Dismiss, Power button = 11 button presses. Takes longer than stopping at a junction generally does in traffic, so need to do it before setting off!

Bring on the ELEMNT v2 with touchscreen, will be literally 3-4 presses! ;)
 
Maybe you need to press buttons quicker and not like an OAP Roady ;)

Agreed, love it's simplicity. I did put in a request for an auto-offset prompt on the google group...

No. No touchscreen Roady! I love the lack of touchscreen!

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't miss the touchscreen as much as I thought I would, yet there are things (like the above) where it does make life loads easier. Thankfully it tends to be the irregular use, not regular day-to-day use. I'll take the longer battery life, stability and features over the touchscreen anytime!

10C outside today, I nearly went out on the bike. Nearly.

Didn't.

Was actually pleasant yesterday, overcast and a bit windy but otherwise nice. Monday lunchtime was even better, sunshine! Fingers crossed for today, 7-8 degrees on the way in this morning & daylight! :)

Keep pushing! Kill or cure! ;)

Early finish yesterday for a bloke to come and give us a quote for a new boiler. Other half managed to persuade them to come at 5.15 (latest booking they normally make is 5). Guy calls at 6.35pm asking for directions and an attitude when told he was late, so told him not to bother. :Rolleyes: Do these companies even want the work?! Thought giving the local ones a chance before we ask British Gas would at least give them a chance. :rolleyes:

I can see the forum again. It's a miracle!

Or it's Gilly working his admin powers instead of sleeping. Same thing right?

Welcome back, Valentines miracle! Closing all cycling sale threads now... ;)

Was it just yourself affected? Sounds bizarre that it took that long to sort a mods account/access out while the riffraff were allowed in! ;)

:Rolleyes: :rolleyes: :ROLLEYES: (smilies are case sensitive now guys!)

EDIT: Legs are tired/fatigued & not sure why. Easy 2 days commuting (after an easy sunday turbo ride and harder saturday session). Meh. Warmer weather so don't want to take a rest day, yet! Equally an 'easy' week of commuting only and then a 40/50 miler on the weekend is tempting. Bet it rains.

I turned those off, don't want an alert every time someone posts in here. Left the alerts on for people quoting my posts as that is a better way of keeping track. Would be nice to have some alerts for some posts (less busy ones!), and the option of switching them off for busy ones... (adding that to suggestions!).

What's up with the alerts?
Can't this forum software determine if there are more posts after this? Can't be that difficult to calculate surely.

It's because you can have the alerts emailed to you, the text cant change after the alert is sent.
So it sends you the alert at the point when 1 new post is made but it doesnt know when you'll get around to reading it so rather than email an alert each time a new post is made (meaning you would get an email or alert for each post), it just says "there's at least 1 new post in that thread"

I've got email alerts turned off. This is from the Alerts panel top right.
 
I'm finally hoping to be back on the bike tomorrow after 2 1/2 weeks off due to illness.
Been a pretty rubbish 2017 so far with only 150 miles logged.
Combination of illness & a broken toe then when I was over those came down with flu.
Pretty much over it all now, but feel really lardy at 180 lbs, so really need to get back out there.

Yes, i know - and you're right that it would be possible to work out how many new posts there are in the live alerts panel. I'm just making the point that it's not as simple as just counting the number of posts and displaying it. To do that you'd need to have 2 completely different bits of code to handle each alert type (email/live alert) so it's much simpler to just use 1 that can do both.
 
Agreed. When I coded something similar for BuddyPress I just went with generic wording as the advantages of users knowing exactly how many alerts (vs the fact that there are any alerts) were far outweighed by the increase in code complexity.

Anyhow, let's get back to talking about cycling :)
