Castbox showed it live before your website.

Will you do a show on thresholds? That seems like it would fit.

Ha! Yes, it was supposed to go live midnight Tuesday AM.. and was accidentally scheduled to be live this morning, so we were rather caught off guard by the timing!! Lesson learned..

Yes, thresholds, I have thresholds penciled in for sometime in summer and have started working also on your suggestion of renewal which is something I hadn't thought about before you mentioned it, but it absolutely fascinating! Please hit me up with any suggestions or particular phenomena you are familiar with that we should cover..with 2 shows per month we are quickly overrunning my personal knowledge on these topics, so going to need help crowdsourcing some of the info!!

Thanks again for your help!

I'm interested in the possibility in the future of actually "good" AI or machine learning as it relates to data driven training.

It has potential to help folks like me who don't have the time or money for a real coach, it just isn't something that would be helpful at my level. But, if I was in a 1 month focus on VO2 for an event and the AI/machine learning could optimize which workouts to do when I choose to do them........that'd be key.

Like it could see my TSS/CTL/ATL etc.....then when I say "I'm about to do a workout at lunch" it would choose a VO2 build workout based on MY data at the time.

That kind of thing. Any interest in that?

The sort of "crank asymmetry" talked about at the start of the podcast used to be common. In the days of adjustable square-taper bottom brackets, the spindle was just one piece of the bottom bracket assembly, and it was easy for the market to support a variety of interesting dimensions. Lots of bikes came with asymmetric spindles.
I suspect the main reason for this practice was to minimize q-factor. If both crank arms are as close to the bike as can safely be afforded, the drive-side stuff usually needs to be farther outboard than the non-drive side.

On my '79 Fuji America, the spindle is about a centimeter (!) longer on the drive side, and the difference in actual pedal position relative to bike centerline is similar. Overall q-factor is about 142mm, which isn't too shabby for a triple! Similar to what was said in the podcast, I never noticed the asymmetry until I took the BB apart for service and looked at the spindle.

edit:

I won't take a photo of the America's spindle because it's currently inside of the bicycle, but here's a less extreme example. One side is about 3mm longer than the other:

So I know people who know people working on something similar to this... I'll see what I can find out as I agree, it sounds super interesting.. though the physiology is part is way beyond me and I'll need some help! Will keep you updated.

Josh,

Question regarding wheel balancing. While I love your speed balance kit for deep wheel sets, how do you balance a disc wheel? Trying to figure out the best way of doing this. Love the podcast!



Thanks,

Andrew
