I have a little stack of zip ties and I have been moving the computer to and fro. I use the same front wheel-I just take it off to save from unscrewing the magnet over and over. I usually ride the cross bike to go to PVCC bc that hill is a mofo for the fixie ( I plan to put on an easier gear, though) and I get around on the fix for around town, work, beer, red-light district. So, how does this fit into only using one bike? Also, I hope I can come in on Sunday if the shop is open, if this is necessary. My computer is calibrated for the 700c 23 tires I am riding via the directions that came with my Axiom A10W. So, let me know what you think.<BR/>AND...<BR/>I havent been getting home by midnight the last couple of nights so I doubled a day up. Infact, I used the first leg of my latest log for Friday, which I did with gears. I used the second leg portion for saturday, which I did on my fix, complete with computer switchalization. <BR/>--I know this is a bit nitpicky, but I am just trying to be as transparent as possible so that I can make the honor roll.<BR/>Ya'll tear it up.Butchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012168799453618093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067506711426442608.post-58642166475873700182008-10-03T07:59:00.000-07:002008-10-03T07:59:00.000-07:00James G. - OK, sounds good (and will definitely be...James G. - OK, sounds good (and will definitely be easier all around). <BR/><BR/>What about the calibration question? <BR/><BR/>-MallfellowAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182389598451311283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067506711426442608.post-42414143332178852902008-10-03T07:46:00.000-07:002008-10-03T07:46:00.000-07:00Good questions Noah.

There's no place to enter it nor is there a place to enter the time of day the ride took place. Leaving my house this morning around 5:45am it was right at 40 degrees. By 8am (once the sun's up, we'll be up into the 50s easy. <BR/><BR/>Also, I record all my rides via a Garmin Forerunner 405 GPS unit - do I still need to go to Cville Bike & Tri to have it 'calibrated'? <BR/><BR/>-MallfellowAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182389598451311283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4067506711426442608.post-51759624157184295412008-10-02T15:09:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:09:00.000-07:00We're doomed.
