I'm seeing the chain touching the side of the derailleur cage as I wrote and am asking if that is a problem from those more experienced than I. If the chain is not a problem to worry about then I...

Good point. I know there is a tool to check the hangar but I don't have one. To my eye the cage looks very very closely aligned with the cassette--and I mean both in alignment and on the same...

Which is import for my training, at least I think so. The zone 2 training from what I gather should improve the lactic clearance.

Yes, no doubt. My inability to convey my real point led folks astray. I believe the guy who started the max heart rate thing was Maffetone. It was his training theory that I was attempting to draw...

For me defining my heart rate zones is applicable to the training that I want to do. The calculator was actually pretty accurate in my case. Expanding that specific reference to look at studies in...

Based on multiple studies, including from the guy who developed the max heart rate formula, I try to exclusively train in zone 2. That's nearly impossible for me since I'm older with a lower max...

Lake CX241 is what I went with for a higher volume shoe. Most comfortable shoe I've had--loving the independent flap (or whatever they are called) adjustment. However watch the sizing. I was a 46...

Interesting because I went kind of opposite from you. A little more relaxed century easing geometry, custom steel forever bike. Like you though I have the same enthusiasm for mine. It's almost in...

Cool, yeah that sram FD tool aligned it perfectly, but the gap is the first thing I would change if I had drops. So far so good. I've even been trying the sequential shifting which seems to me...

I set mine up about month ago and have about 150 miles on it. The Sram videos were spot on except for the big ring to front derailleur gap. My group came with a front set up alignment/spacing tool...

I do not regret building my new steel frame with 46/33, 10-33, even though initially I thought it would be too low. I was in 33-33 going up my steepest incline yesterday and doing an easy 95ish RPM....
