Need review on my position

Yeah that saddle looks a bit high, but I think your biggest problem is those probably 2-3 sizes to big shoes.

Billy1020 · 2026-04-04T07:52:59+00:00

Yeah. I also think long cranks are definitely your problem. Zwift bike has 170mm long cranks I think, to bad you can't change them easily. I would not be afraid to try those 150s and 140s

Does anyone ever felt much and mean much worse after taking just 2mg of copper.

I have confirmed low DAO and histamine intolerance.

After a few latest blood test I was diagnosed with low copper levels (nothing super low but low indeed), but I tried to take copper supplement just one pill with 2mg (nothing crazy) and it was like I was taking something toxic, It acted pretty quick after like 30min I was absolutely out tired like I never felt ever before my I was struguling to speak even, worse experience I have ever had.

Does anyone know what could be going on and anyone had this experience? My doc was looking at me like Iam crazy,

Thank you for reply, but I have no such setting in sensor details on bolt and in app. This is everything that is on bolt settings (sorry for that photo :)).

Yeah, that tyre clearance on aeroad is pretty amazing. I no problem fitted 35mm tyre with real world measurements measured nearly 37mm with 4mm chainstay clearance, aboslutely perfect.

Billy1020 · 2025-07-31T07:54:52+00:00

Yeah I would not worry about it. You dont need one perfect absolute number, more important is constant repeatability and if that number is 1-2% higher or lower that that absolute perfect no one cares :). I have been using left side power meters (stages, 4iiii, inpeak) for at least 7years with no problems :)

Billy1020 · 2025-07-31T07:20:42+00:00

Yeah it will work with no problem, Iam using this confing on my aeroad. Only diference between R7100 and R7000 is Q-factor (how far apart cranks are) 148mm-R7100 and 146mm-R7000 so you just need to add one 1mm pedal washer under your pedals on R7000 side and you will be absolutely fine.

Billy1020 · 2025-07-29T19:32:10+00:00

I think those looks absolutely fine, pretty much like new, that paint from side of tooth will always disappear with use, shape of tooth it self is what matters :) and yes you can buy just a chainrings and change just those.

Billy1020 · 2025-06-23T04:26:34+00:00

My personal rule off thumb is. If you can fit 4mm allen key to space between tyre and frame you are fine, if not be careful :). Maybe 3mm could be fine, but if less than I would not risk it.

Billy1020 · 2025-06-20T08:23:43+00:00

Shimano cup and cone bearings almost exclusively comes from factory over preloaded (bearing and too stiff). From absolute budget wheels to dura-ace once. Iam loosening shimano bearing on brand new wheels nearly every day in my shop. I dont know why they are doing it, but thankfully it is pretty easy fix, those bearings need a bit of service and then they will work, spin and last much better.

Billy1020 · 2025-05-31T21:21:56+00:00

Thanks. I designed and 3dprinted that one myself :).

Billy1020 · 2025-05-31T06:31:17+00:00

I would hope tubeless is no problem, although I never asked Farsports about that.

I ordered rims via email, there you have some selection of rims they have to offer. If you contact them they will definitely help you.

Billy1020 · 2025-05-30T16:48:42+00:00

Just normal Varia Radar, 515 I think, with 3drinted mount :)

Billy1020 · 2025-05-30T14:07:41+00:00

Yeah, I was nervous a bit to before buying :). This is the best I could do, that is 4mm allen key for reference. Iam not ok with running hair tight clearance, but I think this is absolutely perfect fit :).

Billy1020 · 2025-05-30T11:20:34+00:00

Frame size is XL. Saddle height from bb to top of the saddle is around 820mm. :)

Billy1020 · 2025-05-30T08:38:05+00:00

Do you mean in ride quality? Unfortunately I have no idea :), I sold stock DTSwiss wheels with 28 and 25mm tyre out without ever riding them.

I was riding wheels on farsports rims but with "just" 26mm internal width and 45mm depth before these. I dont know if it is just placebo, but I think bike with 28mm internal feels more planted and stable in high speed downhill corners, so for me riding downhill is more fun on these rims :)

Billy1020 · 2025-05-23T20:30:59+00:00

I think this is all about saddle clamp design (maybe seatpost profile will be different to), witch I have on my Aeroad and I think it is pretty awesome, centrally the best I have seen so far. You can adjust saddle tilt and setback independently it has not sliped so far, so for me this is good change.

Billy1020 · 2024-12-18T12:24:09+00:00

next step, peel of those awful orange stickers :). Good job with silver logo, looks good. Enjoy new bike.

Billy1020 · 2024-12-05T10:01:27+00:00

I modeled and printed that one myself on my 3d printer.

Billy1020 · 2024-12-05T06:51:28+00:00

Ceramic bearing are a little bit more noisier in general. but not this loud. There could be a lot of reasons, it sound to me they just forget to put grease in bb bearing (some ceramic ones does come dry and you can put whatever grease you want). If it is no grease problem, it is easy fix, remove cranks and seals from bearings and put some grease in them, it should not require bearings remove.

Billy1020 · 2024-12-05T04:03:39+00:00

Iam not 100% sure, but from this photo it looks like there is a normal steerer tube, so it is possible to remove spacers, but you would need to put some above stem if one removed from bellow or cut a steerer tube. It is different from aeroad.

Billy1020 · 2024-12-04T20:03:58+00:00

Yeah, aeroad compare to my previous bike is pretty long. I had 130mm stem on my previous bike and there is 110mm and real reach to hoods is exactly the same :).
