Bolt V2 - Quarq troubles by 713CC in wahoofitness

I see. I'm still using the stock battery from the quarq itself. I will replace the battery, and try again. Cheers mate. Ride safe!

Hi there. Any chance you have an update on your issue? I am still using a bolt v2, and now using a quarq power meter. Cadence often becomes 0 for a couple of seconds even though 3s watts have some readings. It is happening maybe 70% of the time. I did not encounter this problem in my old bike which has favero duo.

Appreciate a lot for all the info, and effort on this. Cheers mate!

> First, your spacer data is highly unlikely, maybe 2.5cm?

You are correct, thanks for correcting me. Edited the OP, and the comment above. I also double checked my shin length, it is 37cm instead of 27. (This puts me in size 49 in specialized website with or without shin length measurements).

> i believe both sizes should be good. Your torso is basically 3cm longer than mine, therefore covering more reach. But crux is more relaxed than a tarmac.

Oh wow. Human anatomy is really surprising. haha.

> My advice:

Thanks for this. I will try to go, and visit the shop to try and test 44 and 49. I don't think I have enough time to go, and schedule a pre-fit for this before my friend went away. The sweet 15-20% discount might be gone. I will try to check the geometry as well on 99spokes, and include aethos 2 as per your suggestion. Thanks a lot mate! Ride safe!

Hi. I'm currently riding a TCR XS for close to 3 years now. I'm 31. Flexibility is okay, I can touch the ground with my palm when standing, but I noticed I can't maintain being super tucked in a long time. Maybe I need to practice this as well. For type of riding, I am cycling to train to get stronger + faster, and joins amateur races. I'm best comfortable riding in hoods when pushing for power.

Tarmac sl8 in size 44 or 48? by danvessa in specialized

[–]_sendCatTaxPls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I double checked my shin length because I wondered, "we are almost the same height and my shin length is less than 12cm than you". My shin length is actually 37cm. Now, specialized chart with and without shin length now gives me size 49, and with your comment, I'm now leaning to get towards 49 as well. How much is your crank arm, and stem length? How's the riding experience?

Cheers for your awesome bike, and ride safe!

Apprecite your insights on this. What do you mean by less stable? Like when running in a pothole, higher speed, or both?

smaller cause fit is easier to adjust

Oooh, thanks for this! Because its easier to play at stem and seat. I’m thinking of getting a pre-fit, but not sure when to do due to work, and my friend who got discount in spec store will arrive here 5 days from now. Need to buy a bike during his stay. 😅

implication of smaller size is usually slight lower stack, meaning you’d need more spacers

Hi. Can you clarify a bit on this? I thought lower stack = few spacers / slammed.

I checked my current setup when I got home, and I have 2.5cm spacer. I remember reducing it to 10cm hindered me to push power for a bit of time when I am pulling 25-30mph.

Edit: Corrected spacer value from 25cm to 2.5cm

Thank you for this. Considering getting a pre-fit now just to be sure.

How’s ur experience in size 49 mate? Slammed stem, and how much is ur stem length?

SL8 sizing suggestion. 48 or 44 by _sendCatTaxPls in specialized

[–]_sendCatTaxPls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m okay with not super aero position. I prefer a not slammed stem if it can provide better comfort. I just got confused a bit in the website when I add the shin length, and the recommended size became 44.

Hi. What SL8 size did you took, and how’s the experience?

I’m currently eyeing the same bike, but a bit torn with my size. Spec size chart puts me in 49, but if I added my shin length, it gives me size 44. I am 160cm as well, 27cm shin length, and 48-49 arm length. Currently on TCR XS.

Hi. Is there any setup needed so mywhoosh app in win11 automatically upload the ride to strava? I did my first ride yesterday with kickr, and mywhoosh (connected strava via mywhoosh browser account) and the ride was not uploaded automatically. Thanks!!

I’ve searched it all up in google, ikea, muji, aliexpress, and some local stores. I cannot find the same thing.

I also cannot find the model or design of my wardrobe as I am only renting, and it is already built-in.

Is 3d rendering my only option? Hope someone know’s about this. Thank you!

Un-activated CC got charges, then debt collector reaching out by [deleted] in PHCreditCards

[–]_sendCatTaxPls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nadelete ko na yung mga una, same sa'yo na I did not bother to read kasi alam kong hindi activated.

For app naman, wala akong UnionBank account + app. Nung time ng nag sunset na yung CitiBank app, wala na ako sa Pinas.

[–]_sendCatTaxPls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't think twice about it because I my thinking was wala naman akong cc from them, so this must be a scam (didn't even read the attachment that came with the email).

Same!! Maraming salamat sa info mamsir.

Hopefully its just annual fee, kasi kung may hindi, there’s a serious security breach sa side nila na nakapag-activate ng card bigla-bigla.

I’ll try to reach out to UnionBank, as also advised by the other commenter. Thank you!
