    Modifying D2R Shadow Trainer for 11 speed and ANT+ speed sensor

    Drilled two holes in the casing and zipped tied in place. Loop zip tie through the sensor just like you would zip tie the sensor to the chain stay, then feed it in one hole and out the other.

    Road Tubeless worth it?

    Given up on road tubeless after 1 1/2 years. Too many flats/torn tires (mostly from rides in the rain). I have not had stans repair even one tubeless flat, its just sprays latex everywhere. Putting a replacement tube in road side is such a pain. The beads are so tight. I have had so many...

    Not sure which resistance level you would use as this would change the speed to power relationship as you say. Maybe send trainer road an email? The D2R is listed as compatible though. http://www.trainerroad.com/features/virtual-power

    Modifying D2R Shadow Trainer for 11 speed and ANT+ speed sensor

    Hi Steve, I just saw this post. What I did was to drill a hole through the flywheel and into the inductor ring. I tapped the hole and then threaded in a stud and loctite in place. You may need to grind down the inner and outer ends of the stud, in needs to be flush or it catches on other bits...

    Conditioning your ass

    I used to get pressure sores. I was running cream, Assos shorts and a SLR super flow saddle. Nothing helped. What made the difference was getting a bike fit. I was sitting too far back and didn't have correct weight distribution. Since putting on a longer stem and sliding the seat forward I...

    Touring Amsterdam to Copenhagen - sanity check

    Get boxes from bike shop and box them before you get the airport. Just imagine trying to do this at the airport only to discover the pedal is stuck in the crank arm and you just can't get it off. You just dont need that stress. On the other side just do the same. Distances seem ok. On the flat...

    Modifying D2R Shadow Trainer for 11 speed and ANT+ speed sensor

    That is a super good deal. I have been really happy with the trainer. If your doing mostly steady state drills (like hold X power for 5 mins) then magnetic is fine.

    Modifying D2R Shadow Trainer for 11 speed and ANT+ speed sensor

    For steady state it is fine. FTP and V02 max training due to new born baby is exact reason I bought mine as well :-) The magnetic unit is probably not powerful enough for sprint interval training at 1000W but I can save those sessions for the road. I am happy to trade off a little top end...

    Modifying D2R Shadow Trainer for 11 speed and ANT+ speed sensor

    I am using it for steady state drills (FTP 2x20's, 1 min FTP builders etc) so the magnetic resistance is fine. I think the usable range for the unit is maybe up to 600W, and higher and you need to spin at a huge cadence. Unit is super quiet. My drivetrain makes more noise. It does not have a...
