bicycled from Siagon to Hanoi in Vietnam!

Holy smokes!!! Did you bring your own bike, or rent one there (presumably you did this on something half-decent)? I just got into riding and will hopefully be picking up an old Bianchi 928 off a friend in the next week or two

Oh, man. I just looked at the map.

No we went through a bike tour program so they had bicycles for us. They had nice Trek hardtail mountain bikes which were great. The ultra low gears and compliance of the front shocks were helpful for the sometimes uneven terrain.

Nice, Bianchi is great! A nice bicycle really does wonders for getting out there and riding. I love my second hand 2011 BMW M Carbon Racer road bike. It gets a lot of odd looks from other bicyclists but I enjoy that as well:

Yeah, we didn't do the entire length (had a train from Hue to a bit up north) but did ~600 miles I think. A lot of cool moments that I'll remember for a very long time

Not a lot to report, but does anyone have a good algorithm for diagnosing the passenger side mirror not working?

For the past three-ish years, the mirror will stop working intermittently. Interestingly, it will often improve after I give the car a wash. Currently, it will budge a bit when I press the mirror control, but then stops moving. To me that feels like the motor is dying but that's just a haphazard guess.

I can’t help but hope you get it working again.

Neither of my mirrors work or ever have since I bought the car. But the reverse tying function does. It hasn’t bothered me because once I set them manually, I never had to adjust them again.

I'd probably open it up and see if you can see anything visually. Maybe it's just dirt lol

Sorry, confused. Is this car for sale?

No, it is not. This is my maintenance thread for my car. You'll want to go over to the classifieds section to find for sale ads.

Crossed 89,000 miles on 07/08/2022. She's just easing into her prime.

Nothing to add, just chalking up the miles
