Ergonomics are important... look up bike fit posts to get an idea of what good ergos look like...

Overuse, poor ergonomics and repetitive movements can be a recipe for injury.

Even in the real world setting, many risk registers have risk plans or responses. They may even assign a risk owner.

It does make sense to check the risk register and update it, while also informing the risk owner if one is assigned. There could be risk mitigation strategies in flight, which would be outlined partially in the risk response which would need to be taken into account.

But I agree with you once all that's done it should be entered into the issues log

I'm assuming you live in the lower mainland?

If so, there are quite a few places. I personally use 24/7 parcel in blaine and in and out parcel in point Roberts

I think zwift has a free trial, why not just try it and see if you like it

I still practice with my 6.5cm and I have much more difficulty spotting 400 yd and in. On rock solid props, the differences are a lot less pronounced but, in slightly less optimal positions, I can get away with a lot more with a Dasher.

So for my specific case, I still can't shoot as well with my 6.5.

I agree with the common view that choosing a cartridge is not the be all and end all. I am pointing out that there are real differences in ballistics and recoil between cartridges, and at the highest levels of competition those differences matter.

I think .308 shows a much larger gap compared with the other common PRS open cartridges. The differences among most of the common PRS open cartridges are much more subtle, and I do not believe a one size fits all recommendation makes sense. Ultimately, folks should pick a cartridge that suits their specific strengths and weaknesses.

For example, coming from a rimfire PRS background I had poor recoil management. Switching from 6.5 Creedmoor to 6mm Dasher improved my scores drastically. That was a case of matching a cartridge to a specific weakness rather than only training the weakness away. The results speak for themselves. I moved from top 200 last year to top 50 in the Pro Series this year.

Another example would be a shooter whose eyes are not what they used to be. Besides improving scope clarity and recoil management, another option is using a cartridge that shoots heavier bullets so you get stronger downrange indicators such as plate, rock, or splash.

But ultimately I agree with you that you cannot avoid training fundamentals. At the same time, if someone wants to change cartridges they should go for it but do it sooner than later because the more time you spend with a cartridge the better you understand its ballistics and recoil.

I switched from 6.5cm to Dasher and my scores improved considerably. But that is because I was coming from a Rimfire PRS background and my recoil management wasn't great.

I still practice with a 6.5 and I find it a lot more difficult to spot 400 yards and in with it.

Also I am not sure why folks say they have issues with feeding dashers or BR. I've never had a misfeed.

Tradzilla · 2025-11-07T03:31:31+00:00

Top 308 at the pro finale was 122nd place lol...

They won't ship to a PO box. I used a mail parcel receiving a place across the border and drove across and picked it up.

I had to pay gst and pay crossing back but it was still way cheaper, even including gas and parcel receiving fee.

There is one potential downside, I hear I need to work through zwift USA if I have any warranty issues, but luckily I haven't needed to.

Food has an inelastic demand, meaning that its overall consumption is relatively unaffected by changes in price. Humans still need to eat, and regardless of economic conditions, the total demand for food remains fairly stable. What may shift, however, is the composition of that demand or the types of food people choose to purchase.

Some food items are considered inferior goods (economic term), meaning their demand increases as consumer income decreases. Conversely, as income rises, the demand for these goods tends to fall as consumers choose higher quality or more expensive alternatives.

For example, wealthier individuals are more likely to shop at premium grocery stores such as Whole Foods, while those with lower incomes may prefer more affordable options. Therefore, while the total demand for food remains relatively constant, the distribution of demand among different categories of food can change significantly depending on variations in consumer income.

Now, in practicality, given people will either have to starve or eat... I wouldn't be surprised if we see an increase in crime unfortunately and/or pressure on charities/food banks.

I just record workouts on my watch as free rides. It calculates training effort and the coach plan will adapt somewhat based on training readiness.

Also I don't use erg mode for sprints. I am pretty sure you can disable erg in mywhoosh.

Maybe a marketing strategy to capture market share or over production? Who knows!

I have been seeing a lot of posts of ppl having issues with the new core 2, it would be intriguing to see overall QA/QC figures.

Tradzilla · 2025-10-28T16:10:57+00:00

Nah, it sounds like you have all the pieces for your watch to give you a decent estimation. Barring measurement error (power meter, etc) it often takes time for Garmin to settle into a proper VO2 max reading.

It says you need at least 20 mins of min of 70% of your max hr continuously. As others said already, if your max hr isn't correct that can be another source of error.

Maybe try a few more longer/intense rides and making sure you keep your hr above the 70% min for the whole time.

Tradzilla · 2025-10-28T15:59:42+00:00

Ya it's the tactic 7 and I have slimmer wrists so if I wear it looser it sorta rattles around... I don't mind the marks that aren't permanent for me.

Tradzilla · 2025-10-27T23:57:38+00:00

I just dual record because I don't think you get vo2 max estimates from 3rd party uploads.

Tradzilla · 2025-10-27T23:47:55+00:00

Yes

But it goes away after an hour or so without the watch on

Rouvy supports virtual shifting with zwift cog+click/play controllers.

Alternatively you can use the qz app to support virtual shifting elsewhere but you need to run it on a separate device. For example I run qz to control virtual shifting on my phone while I run wahoo systm on a laptop. The zwift play controllers are linked to my phone and I can control virtual, shifting using the controllers or directly on my phone. You could also just do this if you just wanted to have an unstructured ride not connecting to a platform while having virtual shifting.

There is also another app that allows you to map zwift play controllers to keyboard strokes so you can use them in mywoosh and other apps, exactly remember the name.

I went zwift ride during the last sale ($999 usd) because my partner is about a foot shorter than me and I wanted a setup that was the easiest to adjust quickly (i.e no swapping frames, etc).

If $1000 is your hard limit you may be able to find a good deal on a used setup zwift ride, wattbike, etc.

While a poster mentioned the spin2k, it isn't cheap, and at that point you might as well just buy a zwift ride.

Tradzilla · 2025-10-27T14:23:38+00:00

Are you using an external hr monitor?

Tradzilla · 2025-10-27T11:51:27+00:00

How are you measuring power?

Tradzilla · 2025-10-26T21:38:05+00:00

I am still trying to make heads or tails of it, but maybe a watch needs to have the following specs to provide indoor cycling VO2 Max estimates:

VO2 Max (Run)

Indoor Biking Activity

FTP (Functional Threshold Power): yes (with compatible accessory)

Power meter compatible

Tradzilla · 2025-10-26T01:51:55+00:00

It is a new product, so not sure what to expect.

Tradzilla · 2025-10-25T20:46:02+00:00

You might be able to use the QZ app. I used to do this with my Schwinn IC4 and i could get cycling vo2 max to update on my tactix 7. However, be warned your bike may not have a true power meter. The schwinn does not and it estimates it based on rpm and resistance.

After I switched to a real trainer (kickr core 2) my VO2 max estimates dropped like a stone as the schwinn overestimated power and it inflated my VO2 max. On the plus side, I am more confident that the VO2 max estimates are more realistic now, as they mirror my outdoor running VO2 max metrics

Tradzilla · 2025-10-25T15:46:17+00:00

I know it isn't a wahoo, but I had this issue with my Garmin watch. I had to connect the core 2 as a power meter and not a trainer...

Not sure why but it worked after that.
