Max heart rate is pretty individual. It can decrease due to aging from a stiffer heart, or stay the same due to preventing stiffness through regular training as we age. It can drop due to a larger left ventricle as a result of training. Although, athletes over 60 years old sometimes have a...

Ratz, for what it's worth, your current training you described sounds like what I do in the winter: aerobic base training. I've tried many things and have always come out strongest in the spring by far with this type of training. While 7 - 10 hours per week will work, 12 - 20 hours will require...

Also, the point of intersection of chain and chainring depends on which cog in the cassette has the chain on it.

Keep up the good work Rog!

Good catch. I measured mine with a digital caliper just now. The right side (chain side) is 5 mm greater than the left side. That's 0.2 inches, which is the same as your measurement. That seems like enough to be concerned about. I'll try to adjust mine later to try to center it. It would only...

Someone has done some serious design work. But why steal the name? That's a sure fire path to trouble.

The only way for a DF to regularly beat a Vendetta is to regularly cheat a Vendetta.

Fun fact: the famous hormone EPO is released from the kidneys. It regulates red blood cell production by stimulating bone marrow cells. Red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues and remove carbon dioxide. Even though EPO is used for cheating in professional cycling, it is also a naturally...

IIRC: if I remember correctly.

Blood Flow to the Kidneys When you exercise, blood flow to your kidneys is diminished due to an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, the "fight or flight" component of the nervous system. This reduction in blood flow is necessary to maintain your blood pressure as blood...

Thanks David. FYI: I proposed the idea of using magnesium in the thread named "Robert's V20 build". Maybe that's the thread you were looking for.

Larry, Larry, Larry. :(

If you do end up going with short crank arms, my height is 5 feet 9.5 inches with a 42.5-inch x-seam. I use 150mm cranks and love them. I could probably drop to 145mm or even 140mm, but have not tried those lengths. Also, I had a local guy use his expensive computerized mill to drill out my...

Awesome Larry!

I need a "smart shield" that will automatically dim in specific areas by degrees of darkening to block the sun from shining directly in my eyes. This could be based on the mirror and window technology that was invented a while back. But it would also have to be smart enough to do it just right...

I never pay any attention to it.

Would you rather have $4,000 in your pocket or happiness between your legs? Specifically, a Vendetta between your legs - not what you're probably thinking!
