So I removed my 11-34 Ultegra cassette to give it a nice clean and scrub. At the end I noticed the adhesive ring (https://dassets.shimano.com/content/dam/global/cg1SHICCycling/final/ev/ev/EV-CS-R8100-4861.pdf) came off. I noticed it was glued to the back of the big sprocket, but the glue must have been eaten away by my degreaser (diluted Zep citrus degreaser).

How fucked am I? I assembled everything back on to my hub including the adhesive ring. But obviously I did not glue it back to the sprocket.

How do you do maintenance clean for your bike?

I store my bike indoor. So I prefer doing a quick cleaning of my bike using garden hose + soap every week just to keep it clean, nice and shiny. But how do you deal with a waxed chain if the wax will fall off when you clean the bike? Isn't it a giant PITA to rewax everytime I clean my bike?

I just finished reading Vol 14. AMA

I pre-ordered from Amazon Japan back in January and the book arrived yesterday. No idea why they shipped the book on 14th instead of 12th :(

I slept at 3:30 am last night so I can finish reading the novel.

Ask me about the content if you don't mind spoiling ahead.

*disclaimer* I have only read through the book once at a pretty decent speed so there may be some small details that I missed *disclaimer*

So I did a short bike ride this afternoon and decided to give my bike a good clean due to the amount of crude on the road.

 

I first sprayed some diluted APC on to the chain and hose off to get rid of large particulates. Then I used the Park Tool CB-4 degreaser in the CM5.2 cleaner to give it a deep clean. Lo and behold...my chain turned into a huge mess with grey waxy substance coating the entire chain and transferred on to my drive train.

 

I have never seen this happen before. It took me a while to clean off all that gunk off my drive chain. At first I thought it was just because my chain is dirty....so I made the stupid mistake of using the degreaser again for the

So I purchased the spare wheel kit and the Euro trim for my 2018 R. But now I run into the problem of not being able to remove the trunk trim in order to replace it :(

Any ideas? I tried pulling it up, prying with trim tools...and the thing just won't budge. I looked at the few Youtube videos around and they all seem to just pull it off really easily.

Anyone ran into the same issues as me?

I plan on hosting Thanksgiving this year and do a sous vide turkey ala Chef Step. Anyone done it before? If so did you use young turkey? Prime? Brined? which one do you like best?

I noticed the last few days my blind spot indicator on my side mirrors no longer turn on. When I open up the drive assist menu, the side assist option was disabled. But when I tried enabling it, I got a message that says feature unavailable. I opened up the Car Status menu in the center console and there is no error message there.

Anyone else got this issue?
