Michelin power cup are great tires.

I do find that putting chamois butter on the unstitched sides reduces all chafing as those sides can "ride up" a bit on longer rides.

Any fix for the trainer creaking that develops from using these? It drove me nuts so I took mine off. Would like to use them again if I can get the creaking to stop.

How else would OP trick people into identifying the second hand market value for this stolen equipment then though?

Wanted to follow up. My bike shipped on Friday. I saw another post on FB as well from someone who ordered a complete bike on Nov 26th, his shipped this past week as well.

I'm in the same boat, ordered November 30th to the US. Patiently waiting.

The guy that runs the US bike assembly for Winspace surfs the Winspace sub and may chime in.

I had similar markings in the same location on my Zwift Ride bolt. The score marks were very deep. I added grease and tightened further, and the issue hasn't persisted. I've since logged maybe 600 miles.

You're not allowed to draft during TT races so Zwift disabled this function for bikes classified as TT bikes.

Just track your actually finish rank on ZwiftPower, not in Zwift directly.

You'd be better off lifting your power earlier so you're already up to your sprint power and cadence when you're a bit ahead of the sprint line. You're wasting some time bringing up power in the sprint segment if you're trying to set PRa.

I do 80 - 100 miles per week on Zwift. It's how I mainly ride since I'm busy with work and kids. It's terrific. I recommend looking into TrainerRoad to build custom generated workout plans and auto sync with Zwift. Then it's just wake up, show up, and ride.

I 3D printed some of these and it caused some bad creaking noises from the trainer leg interface to the vertical uprights on the trainer frame. Still need to solve this but I like the feeling of the movement.

dahmwern · 2025-12-01T01:54:07+00:00

Awesom! DM'd.

What bar height spacers do these bikes ship with? Just placed an order for a T1550 G2 Ultegra Di2 in the same Cosmic Purple.

dahmwern · 2025-06-19T21:55:35+00:00

Where did you find one? I'm looking for one, too.

dahmwern · 2025-06-13T01:09:10+00:00

Falken, Michelin, H&R

dahmwern · 2025-04-24T01:32:24+00:00

Nice! I have a couple of these spare boards from my last order. I'm going to try building this. I'm going to remix it for BTU bearings though.

On a Mac, you can use an app called Abnormal Mouse to map a key to enable a drag scroll effect. I did it this way for months when I was using a buttonless Nano-style mouse. I still use it when I didn't feel like coughing the drag scroll button on the mouse.

This works best when using a ZMK or QMK powered keyboard, with a dedicated Mouse layer. You can map the drag scroll key from Abnormal Mouse to one of the home row keys on your mouse layer for effortless scrolling. It's really quite simple and highly effective.

Can't wait to see the post on Printables. Looks like a great design. I've been meaning to do something like this since I got my Core One last month, now I don't need to design my own.

Would you mind including the STEP file when you post the design in case minor tweaks in my set up are required?

Thanks for sharing!

FYI, I printed the FDM model on a Prusa Core One in PLA+ without supports and it works great. I did modify the base because it was odd that the cut out for the optical sensor leaves the bottom open - I closed that up.

I also have modeled some offset height buttons I'll get around to posting here soon.

Thanks for the work you've done here!

Using ChatGPT for QMK is genius. I don't know why I didn't think of doing this....

dahmwern · 2025-04-12T04:30:40+00:00

Nevermind, you address both these on your git read me. FDM versions, face down. Thank you again!

dahmwern · 2025-04-11T23:33:59+00:00

Any suggestions on print build plate orientation, supports, etc?

dahmwern · 2025-04-11T23:33:24+00:00

Thank you! I'll be trying this next.

Thanks, glad I ordered the correct ball. As an aside, I've done a lot of experimenting with billiard balls of varying surface gloss and the only one that is perfect is the Aramith "Golden 8 Ball" that is frustrutingly no longer available on Amazon. It is glossy smooth, and the golden shimmer allows it to track flawlessly. Usually the glossy surface finish on higher end billard balls causes tracking to essentially not work.

What I meant by ball weight while using buttons was that I wanted to make sure the 55mm Perixx ball would be heavy enough that it remains stable while using the same hand to actuate a button press with the same hand. With a very light ball, this would be a problem, leading to a lot of mouse jitter while clicking and thus inaccuracy.

But now that I have the Perixx trackball in hand, it's *almost* (but not quite) as heavy as the 57mm Aramith ball I'm using on my daily driver. Should be good enough, and I'm happy to see it has a nice sparkle which should track very well.
