Well, since my frame is now out-of-warranty, I've searched for someone who can re-face the BB on my frame, but nobody seems willing to try since it is a carbon frame. I'm considering getting a...

It's an odd combination, but it is absolutely a 30mm crank in an italian-threaded frame. It's a Power2Max NGeco spider mounted to a 30mm Rotor Aldhu 3D+ crankset. I originally had Rotor's ITA-30...

BB only rough when threaded into frame

I have a 30mm italian threaded BB with external cups that is quite new - somewhere around 1000 miles on it. It has steel angular contact bearings, and they spin smoothly & quietly when NOT in the...

I don't have an absolute budget cap, but would like to spend as little as I can to get a well-ventilated helmet, and hoping to also get some aero benefits, although ventilation > aero. The prices of...

Helmet with most ventilation

I sweat WAY more than most people, as in shorts / short sleeves whenever the temp is above 55 F / 13 C. I currently have a Limar Utlralight which has a lot of vents, and for 99% of people would work...

The responses here match what I've been seeing for as long as I've been riding - everyone responds to recovery days differently. Regarding strength training, while I don't deny the importance of it,...

Recovery days causing fatigue

I've never really understood this, but almost without exception, if I'm fatigued from a training block and then either take a day off the following or do a recovery ride (30-40 minutes in zone 1), I...

Kickr Core Routine Maintenance

I currently have a Kickr Core that I purchased in January. It's working well and I'm very happy with it, but since it is belt-driven, I would imagine that the belt won't last forever, especially...

Just out of curiosity, if I wanted to have an existing 11 / 12 spd crank / BB combination that WAS properly engineered (i.e. spins freely / good durability / hassle-free preload), what would that be?...

Rotor Aldhu/3D Preload

I currently have a Rotor Aldhu 30mm crank. It seems like every 500 miles I need to "tighten" the preload nut in order to keep it from ticking when out of the saddle. The 2mm bolt itself that attaches...

Refacing threaded BB on carbon frame

I have a carbon frame with an Italian threaded bottom bracket which is misaligned. The BB cubs thread into the frame just fine, but when I put the crank in place, it doesn't spin as freely as it...

I totally agree with the seatpost being an important part of vertical compliance, but this is unfortunately an aero frame with a proprietary aero seatpost, so I don't believe I have an option there. ...

Make aero frame more compliant

I have aero frameset that I bought because the vast majority of my rides are solo at a good pace (minimum of 20 MPH / 32 KPH), but the bike is WAY too vertically stiff for someone who has had quite a...

I can't argue that. Another element of the breathing issues could be some form of asthma. A couple of weeks ago I foolishly did an FTP test, which resulted in a bit of difficulty breathing towards...
