Great minds think alike on the nail polish. I use it for marking seatpost height my slight leftward angle of the nose to accommodate my leg length discrepancy. Wasn't sure it would work on a wear item. You have convinced me to try it.
Kudos and mucho soup for you!

Life gave me lemons, so I made some lemonade.
Yesterday I was complaining to mrs datlas about the frequent cable failure, and how I really would love to solve the problem with a Red eTap AXS 12 speed drivetrain.
She seemed slightly interested, and asked how much that "solution" would cost. I told her, and her answer would not pass the censor. Suffice it to say I will be running 6700 for the foreseeable future.

I count the number of turns on the cranks. On my setup it's 2 1/4 full turns on the 50t chainring.

Ha. I had similar concerns and would forego ibuprofen and get **** sleep because my legs were aching just enough to make it difficult to fall asleep. And then I saw the doses that were involved in the study - 1200mg on the regular. And growth wasn't completely stymied, it just wasn't as good as with low/no dose, from my understanding. Anyway, yeah - now I don't have quite the same reservations about taking 400mg once or twice a month if it helps me sleep (which is purty darned important for recovery, too).

FIFY.
The test mix of pink and white came out looking too much like bubble gum so I went with the green. I needed something to go with the red hubs of the wheels I was moving over from the IF.
The issue with Cerakote colors is that they have a matte finish. You need to mix them with white to produce a pearl finish. The builder has a really nice pearl blue finish on his road bike.

Edit: Just did a quick Pubmed search and the best and latest paper I could find suggests that ibuprofen actually enhances the satellite cell response and protein expression associated with repair and regeneration after a controlled injury protocol. It was biopsy based, had a decent sample size, considering the invasiveness, and was published in a pretty good journal (viz, excellent for exercise science).
Here's the abstract https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26936358. PM if anyone wants the full .pdf.
