Busy Bee's Bagel Bakery, La Jolla

I took a 56-mile ride to Busy Bee's Bagel Bakery to test out the range of my new battery. It lost power at 52.8 miles so now I know that I have a range of about 88 miles with both batteries. The bagels at Busy Bee's were quite good and reminded me of the ones at I Heart Bagels in Oceanside. They only had diet Coke (no Coke Zero) and no refills but the place was nice so I give it four stars (mostly because of the bagels, plus they did have a bathroom and self-serve water that I used to fill up my water bottle for the ride back).

Chain Problems

This was also my first ride with my new chain, sprocket and cassette. I thought changing those would fix the problem of the chain coming off the front sprocket but it happened again 10 miles into the ride. It was a pain to fix because of the chain guard but the master link on the new chain made it easier. While I was at the bagel shop, I googled the problem and found others have had the same issue with the Trek XM700+. Some people have found that they can replace the sprocket lock ring with the E-Chainguard Nut from Miranda which is the part used on the Trek Powerfly 7. I ordered the part today from amazon-UK and it should be here on Thursday.

Komoot Problems

I also had a problem with the Komoot app.  I retraced my route for about a mile through La Jolla and it didn't alert me to my turn even though I was traveling the other way on the route. It seems to get confused if you're on the route twice. I'll have to pay attention to this next time I retrace my route. Otherwise, the app is working great at telling me the directions as I ride.
