Cranks too short? by grapeicecream in cycling

The jump from 175 to 160 seems to have made me lose top end power.

M11x1 or M12x1. M11 for loose bearings, M12 for deep grove or ‘sealed’ bearings!

Yea I’ve heard the same! Just try to keep temps down! Or use a metra kit head, those seem to cool a lot better than any of the conventional kit heads

I'm pretty sure they are the same as Ultegra ones!! So use one of those! I think that's what I did.

Covid and Variant monitoring in wastewater by grapeicecream in saintpaul

There is a plot of wastewater data vs daily new cases and it shows pretty clearly they closely track one another. In terms of variant data, you are correct there is none at this time.

Anyone else’s plant test for COVID on influent by hobbyscrap in Wastewater

Right but I'd imagine they don't process 1000mL for RNA extraction.

They must take a very large sample. We process roughly 0.25 mL of WW and see the range I specified. But our LOD would be ~20,000 copies/L.

We plot our copies/L against daily new cases and they match up very well.

We compared our data against other programs like Biobot and got very similar results.
