i'm so happy i got my 2 watts back (SRAM AXS with standard gearing)

now i know i'm getting all of 283 of my peak power wattage when i jump!!!! those marketing clowns at sram better see the error of their ways.

spreadsheets. don't. lie.*









*i made a sheet calculating resonance rates of 27.2mm seatposts shimmed in custom ultrabutted titanium frames vs 31.6mm and discovered i could save .4w over 900km by using the shim and a fizik 00 post! it's all about the little things.

**kmc chains are trash. v upset the 12s gold chain sounded like goldbaum was a tiger rolling into the bulge tbh. i feel really mislead by mark mcmscience's spreadsheet clearly showing it was superior (visually and performancely). it seriously ruined my "eighteen shades of glorious gold" theme, made possible by the advances in gold ano the bike industry has made in the past 30 years.

how are you using aftermarket chainrings and some aftermarket chain with 12-speed SRAM AXS? My LBS (Excel Sports in Boulder) thought it was currently impossible according to SRAM. Obviously not, I see now. Care to elaborate on shifting efficiencies with such a set up? Wait...that is a 2 X 11!!?
Thanks!

Got to plug that wire port on the chain stay. That’ll save at least 1.259395 watts and prevent that annoying noise whistle while kissing sound.

Where is a picture of the honeybee.

récord 12 11-29 cassette. eagle chain. red axs dub crank, dzero 130bcd spider, 53/39 chainrings. force axs shifty bits. works well.

Based on reports on the axs 12 cog spacing, a campy 12 drivetrain should work with an AXS fd and rd.

Red 11 speed crank may also with 12 speed.
