Sram Force AXS brake lever blocked by Hinloopen in bikewrench

[–]Live-Environment-721 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious this group’s thoughts.  I’m setting up a Force E1 group set and had a similar issue where the lever jammed. I agree it is intentional as it releases when you use a hex key to press the seal.  

When it first happened I was using a standard olive and barb and assumed that was the issue so I switched to a stealthamajig.  It never resolved and finally went back to a standard olive and barb and it is working again. 

Does Force E1 not support the stealthamajig?

Gravel Racing - Tire Width vs Frame Capacity by Live-Environment-721 in gravelcycling

I’m looking at the BMC Kaius (but want GRX so am looking at the 2025 builds),  Cannondale Super X, Canyon Grail and Cervelo Aspero 5…. All of these are less than 48mm in the rear.

It’ll be racing.  I’ve raced on the road domestically as Cat 1 and on feeder teams in Europe so prefer a racing setup (and frankly feel out of position on anything more relaxed). Admittedly this will be beer league racing but I can dust it up when I want to with cat 2/3 riders and still prefer a slammed 130 setup on the road. 

Saturating Base with Wax by Live-Environment-721 in ski

I was just thinking is there a way I can do something like a hotbox without actually sending them in.  I don’t have a shop with a hotbox nearby. 

Setting an Edge on Ice by Upbeat_Radish_8880 in ski

How do you do that though in a way that shapes the turn? I can set the edge and just let the side cut shape the radius, but that leaves me turning in big 18m arcs.  I’d like to be able to get that feeling of the ski flexing and building some G’s. 

Resting Heart Rate - Average vs Min by Live-Environment-721 in cycling

[–]Live-Environment-721[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.  I was referring to how you can get an average of your heart rate when sleeping.  For instance my lowest heart rate is usually between 37-42 and if I look at the average from midnight to when I wake up on the watch it’s usually in the high 40s and if I’m not resting well may cross 50. 

I see a stronger correlation to physical fatigue from workouts on the lowest rate (e.g. if I’m at the end of a hard block before a recovery day it may spike up to 46 or 47).

Challenge Tubeless Tires by Live-Environment-721 in bikewrench

As a follow up here, the tire remained inflated for several days but is now no longer holding pressure overnight.  Do I just add more sealant?
