TCR10 day 17: Good news first ☺️ I’ve made it out of the Montenegrin Mountains and I’ve entered Kosovo! I left around 630 this morning, feeling quite optimistic ☺️ Had two more climbs to conquer. But yesterday I calculated that I’ve already climbed some 28000m since leaving Roubaix, so I figured that I would be able to conquer these two last climbs as well 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 And I did 🥳 And now I’m in Kosovo! Now the bad news 😓: I’m having issues shifting. I ride a Rohloff gear hub, combined with sti shifters and a Rohbox. The Rohbox is a very simple gearbox that uses two cables to shift on the gear hub. It’s super simple technology, and if it works it works. But if it doesn’t… well… 😓 The Rohbox is kinda depending on the cables to run smoothly. And currently one of the cables is a bit stuck, either due to wear of due to it being dirty. Some 100 vertical meters before the end of the last climb I found I couldn’t shift down any more. 🤷♀️ I had the issue once before, before last summer’s ride in the US. I ended up replacing the cables and that fixed the issue. Since then I rode some 8000k without issues 🤷♀️ I pushed through to the top and then started the 30k descend, diverting into Peja, a reasonably sized town with a bike shop 😇 Problem with the Rohloff and the Rohbox is that they are quite exotic outside western Europe. We ended up WD40ing the cable and it became a bit smoother. And loosening the tension on the cable brought back shifting capability. But unfortunately it
