Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
A safe, fun, and well organized event with a great after-event. I couldn’t make it last year, thrilled that I could this go around. Bonus that we had great weather.…
This took longer than usual because I had several concerns around how the race was organized, timed, and their setup for rider/pedestrian safety. It didn’t seem fair to proceed without sharing that feedback with the organizers and giving them an opportunity to respond. Chapter markers below.…
A friend recently noticed that the plastic housing around the power meter pod on their crank was cracking. As the PM was still under warranty they reached out to 4iiii for assistance and found out that this is a larger issue with the plastic formulation used in pre-May 2023 power meters.

There are a couple other important adds, highlighted below. Like you can be bossed by a male voice now, if that’s your thing ;).…
First look at the newest 50mm deep, 30mm wide Far Sports Hyper wheel set (FSD50CM 30T-HLH). Weight, widths, spoke tension, and true.…
I wish that I had found AZ BCR 001 Bike Bead Cream sooner. No more messing around with dish soap and rags. Bead wax is magic.…
