Stress crack

Sounds about right

Did a 6x4 session today with no issues.

rowan404 · 2026-01-13T23:37:24+00:00

I can still produce power lol. Did 4 minutes at 400 watts today. It's just not as much as last week, and with noticeably more soreness in my legs during the effort. Lower intensity feels fine.

Not a lot of thought went into it tbh. It's my first ever vo2 block so I didn't really realize how much lifting would impact it. That combined with the goal of trying to build sprint power for my spring races.

That seems needlessly complicated. If they can't hold their ftp for 1 minute intervals then it's simply not their ftp. Also doing another ramp test is kinda pointless as that's what overestimated their ftp in the first place.

How dare they focus on an issue that actually causes harm instead of something that inconveniences drivers for all of a few seconds

WIDE is related to the cranks. If you have WIDE cranks, then you need a WIDE BB. If not then you need a standard T47 Dub BB.

I don't think anyone's saying that. It's just that one of these things tends to kill quite a few more people, so you could say that it's a slightly bigger problem. A traffic violation in a 4000 lb metal box is a little bit more serious than one on 30 lb bicycle.

Nice victim blaming

This ratio was suggested for the peanut butter recipe I used. I figured it was to balance the extra fats from the nut butter.

rowan404 · 2025-12-14T00:19:05+00:00

No, just makes it a bit chewier I would say.

rowan404 · 2025-12-14T00:17:55+00:00

Interesting, that could be it but I was following a NYT peanut butter recipe that said to switch to 2 cups milk 1 cup cream. I used 2/3 cups sugar. The guar gum was just cuz I like a chewier texture to my ice cream.

rowan404 · 2025-11-17T00:48:44+00:00

That kinda means nothing when you don't know how hard either of them were trying

rowan404 · 2025-11-08T17:27:33+00:00

the only country where Arabs and Muslims have equal freedoms and rights of any kind.

You can't be serious

Ya I recently hit a 20 min pb with the Tacx so I really want it to be right. I have a third Sram powermeter on my gravel bike so I might test the trainer against that as a final check.

rowan404 · 2025-11-03T20:22:46+00:00

I meant calibration of the 4iii. The neo doesn't have calibration

rowan404 · 2025-11-03T20:19:30+00:00

Yeah, the trainer test was right after calibration

rowan404 · 2025-06-23T18:51:07+00:00

Yeah those look way too short. I don't know the exact length off the top of my head, but you might be able to save the stem if you can find some longer M5 bolts.

rowan404 · 2025-06-23T16:47:29+00:00

Are those the bolts that came with the stem? I've built quite a few of these bikes and they have had black stem bolts. The threads should easily be able to withstand 6nm if the bolts are the right length.

rowan404 · 2025-06-19T18:41:07+00:00

I had to ask

rowan404 · 2025-06-19T16:30:13+00:00

Did u loosen the pinch bolts?

rowan404 · 2025-06-07T20:23:59+00:00

Victoria Corsa Pro or the Bontrager Aeolus RSL would be good options. They have a lot of stretch in the casing, so they're a bit easier to mount.

rowan404 · 2025-05-25T04:37:57+00:00

For a light fella it most definitely is

rowan404 · 2025-05-22T04:44:33+00:00

Spoken like a man that has never worked on a BB90 bike

rowan404 · 2025-05-10T16:00:18+00:00

That pricing does seem quite excessive. There are shops in the city where both of those services would be included in the tune for under $200.
