    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    When your as fast as larry 2.5 watts is meaningless. If you are as slow as I am that's like 10% :p Seriously though the reason I do it is cleanliness hauling bikes on and off the trainers and the cars. If not for that; I'd have bottle of squirt in the garage; or just good old WD40 applied...

    Stages will also work but they read 4-5% high but with consistent predictability so you can scale the results; they are event based 1 reading per rotation so angular velocity doesn't really matter...

    From Power2Max How often we sample: We use a very high sampling rate of 50Hz, i.e. 50 measurements per second.

    I sense a disturbance in the 3rd Law

    Nope Many are one per rotation or twice per rotation you have to check with the vendors. But most of the newer entrants are learning from the past problems and all the attention Froome's data got. P1, Power2Max confirmed >= 40 times per rotation. Gotta check with the each vendor for details.

    Walked to basement; sure enough works on mine now too. Cool. Would have been nice last year when I broke a cable.

    What gear?

    Interesting if I disconnect mine the entire system shuts down. Perhaps if I programmed it with the derailleur missing it would then work; or if I removed the other end of the cable from the junction.

    The way Squirt Tests out; I'd love to have someone try that and report back with photos of how clean the chain stays. I can make a video the next time I wax chains; probably next week; it's supper easy.

    What gear?

    When your balance comes; you'll be able peak between you right arm and your right leg and see the cassette. Practice that around the time you get cocky about your figure 8 drills; and you'll quickly figure out the trick. I can do it reach for my water bottle and not miss a beat; it's just one of...

    What gear?

    Never thought of a mirror; not a bad ida. I think we all have develop "the peak" maneuver.... One advantage of Di2 is that you have have your gearing read out on the GPS.

    So it's new bike season here in the work shop. While building the new one I discovered that our Power2Max cranks wont' fit the new frames.
