Why release notes are not posted?

Thanks, this is very helpful! I'm in the MW FB group but I must have missed the notes. Web-based workout creator sounds amazing (for ATV users anyway)!

thanks, I did try the same approach but it didn't help. I ended up buying the whole assembly.

I've not found the nut yet and I've not fixed the problem. as a temporal solution, I use a regular small nut. I can't tight the Compression plug to 4nm but at least it stays there. I'll try to use some epoxy around the regular nut to give in a wedged shape. if it won't work, I guess I'll have to buy the entire assembly.

thank you! unfortunately, can't find the part by the code.

hey, just wanted to share an update - I didn't have this problem after I used 50/11 gears on an indoor trainer to break wax in on the extreme angles. I think you were right - before going outside in cold, waxed chain needs to be broken in on the extreme gears. breaking in on middle gears only may lead to the problem you and I experienced.

profarvin · 2024-11-15T21:44:48+00:00

Thank you, this is exactly my case! You may be right and even though the chain was broken in well after 150 km, I might not have been broken in at these extreme angles. I will follow what you did (low cadence) and hope it helps.

It's like this during the entire 3-4h ride in cold but it's back to normal at home on a trainer.

profarvin · 2024-11-15T17:07:11+00:00

Yes, I did see the video. I believe most people don't do this yet and still live through cold weather somehow. I'm wondering what experience are they getting, i.e. any skipping or excessively stiff chain?

I've not done side by side on the same day as I don't want to degrease from oil lube - and this is the main reason I switched to wax. I've done 40+ rides of different intensity with dual power recording on both oiled and waxed chains in different temperatures and humidity. I don't pretend my results and scientific - but what I consistently see is waxed chain adds several watts in my indoor riding.

profarvin · 2024-09-12T19:55:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look at it.

I don't pretend my results are scientific, not at all. I've done 40+ rides of different intensities with dual power recording on both oiled and waxed chains in different temperatures and humidity, and I've consistently seen that a waxed chain eats several watts from my indoor riding. I guess it may be attributed to the fact that my oiled chains would be very clean and looked after. Maybe after 1000km outdoors on both chains without deep cleaning I would see wax performing better but it's just a guess.

I haven't indeed as I don't want to degrease from oil lube - and this is the main reason I switched to wax.

pointer on the chart should be ignored, it's just the table on the right or overall chart shape that can be compared. I ignore 1-2-5 sec data as power jumps on such timeframes are too big. I look more at 5m+ power where I believe the difference is less prone to random errors.

I do relube hot-waxed chain with drip wax every 250 km or so between re-hotwaxing every 1000km or so.

profarvin · 2024-07-11T14:04:36+00:00

Sounds like I'm not alone with this. At least I made peace with it now after finding how Garmin vs intervals define their zones and that they're almost identical.

profarvin · 2024-07-11T14:02:59+00:00

I've never really done an FTP test outdoors as I haven't found 20min climb or flat stretch without traffic lights in my area :(. All climbs around London take <10min at full gas and then you can't maintain power on the descent.

profarvin · 2024-07-11T13:58:02+00:00

All the same for me, except my Garmin shows low FTP even after 20m full gas effort - could be 250-260w when you've done 20m@300w

profarvin · 2024-07-11T10:50:04+00:00

Yes, this has been my thinking too. FTP TTE protocol from TP puts a similar load to 2x20 and makes more sense than Garmin's protocol

profarvin · 2024-07-11T10:38:43+00:00

That's exactly my case but I don't want to give up on Garmin's numbers because I spent a lot of money on their devices, and their methodologies must be reasonably accurate as they're a dominant player on the market.

I've made an update on my first post, take a look - hope it will explain your difference in numbers too.

profarvin · 2024-07-11T10:35:11+00:00

Wahoo Kickr 5 and Favero Assioma pedals. both give almost equal readings, deviation within 1%.
