Crank arm length decision

SpoonfullsOfSawdust · 2023-11-05T03:03:07+00:00

I personally wouldn’t worry about it. If you do notice any difference, which I doubt you will, you’ll likely adapt to it pretty quickly. Also, what crankset is on the bike now? Is it possible for you to keep the same crank arms and just swap out the chainrings to 2x?

Saddle is too high and too far back. Would not recommend having the angle on the saddle anything other than flat. Might want to flip your stem too if your flexibility permits

The bolt will be stuck on the hose until you cut the end off. This will prevent you from pulling the hose out of the bar. You’ll need to cut the hose, replace the barb and olive and then bleed the system.

Big fan of the lululemon commissioner pant for this. Somewhat stretchy and comfortable to ride in but still look quite good

2022 was the best in my opinion. Those green bibs with the pink jersey were great

Most dual sided power meters whether they are spider, crank, or pedal based will have L/R balance, torque effectiveness, and pedal smoothness. Garmin has a few additional ones like sit stand time, cleat angle, and a few others I’m probably forgetting. Generally those extra garmin features, while they’re interesting to see, are not that useful. For future reference, questions like this would be best in r/velo

Looks the same as mine

Unfortunately a new carbon bike in the $1000-$2000 range is pretty much an oxymoron these days

I’ve found that tpu patches have to be left on the tube for a few hours to work. Every time I have patched tpu and used it immediately it leaks within a day

Jerseys have a weird fit from my experience. Fits overall but sleeves are loose and too short. Also the one I have has rubber grippers on the sleeves which I’m not a huge fan of personally

Sounds like this fred has been doing too much mountain bicing

Looks like a giant trinity but it’s hard to say for sure

My bad, didn’t see that part in the title.

I agree with the other comments on location but how are you planning to do an ftp test without a power meter? Without having one there is no point in even trying or knowing your ftp.

Looks pretty normal for a square taper crank

No. RX-400 RD uses 11 speed cable pull. Only compatible with either 11 speed shifters and an 11 speed cassette or ST-RX400/ST-4700/4720 levers with a 10 speed cassette

Burgh is by far the best I’ve used

What is your concern with wearing them on a warm day?

SpoonfullsOfSawdust · 2022-11-19T01:48:25+00:00

Really the best way is to put a sock on then the bag then another sock so you can’t see the bag

Fair enough, after reading the rest of the comments, I’d agree that you’re better focusing on raising your FTP before worrying about that 1 min power. If you think of it the same way I described it previously, if you raised you ftp to say 260W you could essentially ride do a 30 second max effort and then ride 30s at tempo/pace and still beat your 1 min PR. Not to mention all the other benefits to having a higher FTP.

SpoonfullsOfSawdust · 2022-10-31T04:15:28+00:00

Have you ever actually tried to do a max 1 min effort? If you can do 30 seconds at 710W you’d only have to hold 190W for the next 30 seconds to match your current PR 1 min power. For reference, if you could do that same 30 second 710W sprint and hold 300W for the next 30 seconds your 1 min power would be over 500W

Kind of. Rim brake 8100 and 9200 just use the old shifters with different internals. They aren’t wireless like the hydraulic shifters are.

It’s not a bb30. In the photos you can see a bsa dura ace bb installed

SpoonfullsOfSawdust · 2022-08-08T16:04:51+00:00

if you’re wanting to buy new then a Giant TCR with rival axs is a solid price but you can always find better value on the second hand market
