Crank arm bolt question

This is an older Shimano 105 crankset with 8mm hex bolt. Is the left side a left handed thread like the pedal?

CyclAmi TPU; any experience?

Thinking about TPU tubes. I like the notion of the metal stem on the CyclAmi brand.

Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Feedback appreciated.

Also, I use CO2 cartridges on rides....

5'10". Riding a 55 cm bike. 32" inseam. Just as important might be the geometry of the bike you decide on. Do you want a bit more upright endurance style for example.

I've been doing a lot of Rouvy riding for the last 2 years. Rouvy uses 7 zones so I've been doing mostly zone 3. As I review my rides, I find that my watts are increasing for the same heart rate. ...

11T Cog Jump Solved

This may be a "well duh" to most of you. I put a new cassette on my Wahoo Smart that went from 12-25 (old) to 11-28 new cassette. The chain would climb the 11T cog and then "jump". I tried everything...
