    Couple of questions. 1) Have you tried the non-power match mode; that's really a hack they threw together to match someone else's feature (or at least it use to be). First thing I turn off if there is a problem. 2) Any chance of recording the "noise" the kickr will make a lot of belt...

    What I did to prepare for Sebring 2017 ---today

    Road TR-Rendezvous and got it handed to me at minute 48. too much time off installing that new floor for Christmas. Going to be a long week on the trainer. Book the rooms at the Chateau Elan by the race track. Heads up on that; there are only 2 rooms left and they are only available through...

    Yes There is not much in accuracy to mess up from a computation method. But physically the testsare just really hard to do and it takes practice to get good at pacing the tests with out blowing up. It's pretty straight forward math, with 3 formulas: The 2 tests used by all the training...

    S30 - Shimano 105 11 speed will not fit Derailleur hanger

    That's odd and the first it's been reported. We have a lot of people on the forum riding, Ultegra gear including Di2. But we don't get a lot of people reporting on the lower end Shimano 105 stuff. For Clarity it's a new Derailleur and definitely not bent correct? Anyone else running 105?

    Monday 12/12/16 -. Road Goddard to start off the Sebring Training block (substituted in for 8 minute test) . No FTP test required just using the newer "modeled"-FTP which is based on the last 90 days of rolling data. Can't say that I miss doing the FTP test and the disruption to the training...

    Or run the current version of the program, where you never loose data and can restart the work even if you crash..... ;) And that's why Zwift is not on my personal list. I'd spend so much time chasing people that I'd need three days off to recover.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    That's actually true the above is straight math based. IIRC the Qring 34 actually bottoms at 33.3 same QXL 36, making the later even more attractive with it's greater range. The 34 is the only one that's effected this way and why there is no QXL 34 in 110BCD FWIW Rotor just re-did their...

    Great to hear you are back on that bike and at least able to use Zwift. That racing style stuff works good when you are the Fast guy that wins :) Being the slow guy at the back that gives up and coasts to the sign dejected doesn't get quiet as much benefit :confused: They finally released...

    New cheap Cruzbike

    Robert did the 406 for his daughter. We squeezed the boy onto a 451 (22" wheel when he was 9") Short daughter 4'10" had the 22" as her ride. The new frame should be great for building a short bike with fatty tires. perhaps someone will do a build diary.....

    Mortals need recover weeks. 9 weeks is too long to go without 1; Anyone that makes all those rides will be screaming for a break so they can absorb and adapt to the input. Edit: (inserting details I was too tired to type last night) a normal sweet-spot (see the other sheets; is 6 weeks with 5...

    Start here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/11/trainer-apps-guide.html Zwift is very popular but quickly devolves into junk mileage competitions, I don't consider that training but if it's the only thing that gets you on a trainer it's far better than being on the couch. Doing Zwifter-Road or...
