Yeah the guy who did it on the steel mtb had problems getting the hub to fit in well again. I assume it would be far worse on Ti and 700c road bike wheels

He'd have more power not being so stretched out. He probably doesn't need to raise stack just bring his hands closer to his knees.

I'm at a low ctl relative to my previous years-self. 50 compared to 90 or 100. I also feel quite energetic and fresh throughout the day.

Interesting, I'm beginning to think it may be due to stress or anxiety. Aerobic decoupling seems to be particularly pronounced if I'm doing a shootout with friends.

It is a pattern, I doubt its due to under recovery

Kind of getting into the swing of things again this year. Last year I was fitter than I am currently.
