Majority of votes were for Friday or Saturday. And for times, it was split equally for everything EXCEPT at the end of the day when the show floor closes.
So do folks want to try for Saturday 9am sharp so we've had our meeting and beverage before the show opening ceremony at 9:45am?
If you want to meet Friday late afternoon/early evening as well, I'd be up for that. Reply in the comments. #Spezi2026 #Recumbent #BikeTooter #Freiburg
What a week! Let's hope the creaks are gone with the first proper outdoor ride in a couple of weeks tomorrow.
Pretty much all of the consumables in the drivetrain have been replaced, there's a new:
- chainring
- bottom bracket
- chain
- cassette
They cleaned out and regreased below the freehub body, and I previously cleaned out everything else from the crank, crank axle, the bottom bracket shell, and all the nooks and crannies of the frame that is easier to access with all those components removed.
The bike is back!
They called me again today after looking with the other mechanic and came to the conclusion that it has to be the chainring. I brought them both my replacement chainring and cassette, and they couldn't replicate the creak anymore after installing those.
Then I went for a test ride, had two occasional creaks under very heavy load, which might be the new chainring settling in, but a far cry from the creaks before.
Going for a proper ride tomorrow to test it out.
Working from home means I can iterate on the 3d printed parts in the background and finally get everything mounted while on break.
At lunch I'll put the wheel back on and see if the rack is level.

Die Langstrecken-Testfahrt mit kombinierter Ausdauer-Trainingseinheit offenbarte auf 225 km viel Zeit für Ausdauertraining und das eine oder andere Optimierungspotential im Setup und in der Bike-Einstellung. Der Cola-Muffin-Riegel bleibt nächstes mal allerdings im Regal :o)

Way too expensive, but if you're courting a girl named Daisy, here's the bike for you.
