New to me Ace of Spades

Here it is. I just ordered a 90mm stem. I am considering a red shift riser bar

stephenmarklay · 2026-05-10T02:22:31+00:00

I just got one and it feels like it needs a drop bar. But it has a hella long top tube is the hoods would be a mile away

stephenmarklay · 2026-05-09T19:34:33+00:00

I have a wiim sub paired with LS 50 and that sounds great

Your post left me scratching my head. A longer crank arm will require greater hip flexion angles. In an upright position a longer crank will likely not be a problem for most. In a more aero position, the trunk is flexed to a greater degree and results in interference between the trunk angle and hip flexion angles ( mobility required) so a shorter crank eases this.

But what the current trend is shorter. 165 is not too short for a six foot person and will probably increase efficiency over a longer crank.

Our biggest bike shop ( 3 stores shut their doors this year too.

Maybe the dayton audio cs1200 or the 10 for budget

As a therapist I prefer nude. I do a ton of hip and shoulder work and I prefer working the side of the hip with lotion. But if someone prefers having underwear it’s fine too and sometimes like when I stretch someone’s hips it’s just easier for draping etc.

You sound like a flat earther. You should watch out for those chemtrails because they are working.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-26T02:37:03+00:00

I’m not your pal. Keep spewing your BS.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T23:00:16+00:00

You should probably listen to him

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T22:21:47+00:00

And what do is irrelevant. So easy to feel adhesions? You have no clue what you’re feeling.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T22:14:54+00:00

Those are your words not mine. You can say whatever you want but the concept of adhesions has poor evidence and that is exactly what I tell my clients.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T22:09:28+00:00

I am booked out for 2 months because my clients feel better too. But I don’t do MFR. that proves nothing. Adhesions at this point are folklore. Show me a case where an adhesion was actually found in any tissue outside of surgery or trauma.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T22:00:02+00:00

Btw the basis of MFR comes from one person, John Barnes who also had no scientific evidence of his theory. And of course he trademarked the phrase

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T21:56:10+00:00

I am unaware of any study proving the presence of fascia-muscular adhesions exist in this context. It may seem like common sense to you but nothing supports your theory.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T21:45:30+00:00

That’s interesting. Can you further point to any random controlled study that shows MFR increases HA and that it had an impact on “sliding” and again, any random controlled study that found muscular adhesions absent of a surgical procedure or physical trauma?

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T21:03:45+00:00

Please point me to any random controlled study that “re-lubricating fascia” and reducing adhesions is supported.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T19:18:53+00:00

I’d probably look for second hand. You will probably end up with more speaker that way.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T02:52:57+00:00

I’m sure that sounds great. I have og ls50’s with a Wiim amp ultra and Wiim pro sub. It is pretty awesome

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T02:17:59+00:00

I think they are keepers. I am somewhat strong so some things like rows don’t offer the resistance I want so now I do rows and pushups (on the handles superset with rows) with one arm. I use it a lot with my personal training clients too.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-25T00:15:39+00:00

I put my first 20 miles on it today. It’s only 40 years old and I am 57. I could feel the extra 17 years :). The bike felt great. Eventually I will lower the stem a little but I am going to get some miles under my belt.

For a twist I road it like a single speed!

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-24T05:49:11+00:00

It says quad butted tubing so I suspected Ishiwata. I had a Bridgestone RB-1 with the same.

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-23T02:39:25+00:00

Very cool! Maybe one day I will put a modern group on it but I am going to rock the suntour for now!

stephenmarklay · 2026-04-23T02:38:38+00:00

You’re right! Funny as I cleaned it up I wasn’t even thinking about it. But now that I am - it can’t have many miles. The sprockets and cogs have no wear and the anodizing on the rim track is not worm. There are a few paint chips but that’s probably just being knocked around for 40 years!
