    1up indoor trainer fitting?

    Your rotating the drum backwards. When it kicks (hundreds of times a minute) it will throw the wheel upward causing seperation from drum requiring greater tension on the spring. These micro slips wears down the tire and causes excess heart. When the tire blows it will grab you attention. It’s...

    1up indoor trainer fitting?

    Danger.... turn the trainer around. You want the resistance drum on the back side of the wheel. I did it that way at first too. It ended badly for the wheel.

    Front derailleur stalk for compact chainrings

    That's already possible now. Changed like 1 or 2 versions back to accommodate different derailleurs. I use mine on the left on our trainer bikes.

    Front derailleur stalk for compact chainrings

    I've confirmed my theory that this started to be a problem when SRAM dropped the second bolt hole from their design to save weight. The old YAW's have 2 bolt holes; the new ones only have the lower one and the metal piece is smaller. I've raise the issue for evaluation and for potential future...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    No escaping that one; ammonia is going to build up when you go anaerobic, but the better your aerobic fitness the later in the game and the harder you can go before you suffer. A true Keto regiment by definition will raise your aerobic ceiling if you are riding and training at sub-threshold levels.
