  1. ... a) haven't had the impression it lasts anything good (even w/o rivercrossings) but more importantly

    b) it always clogs to complete uselessness.

    Basically a pain in the ass to use (had to use grass stems for every drip) and with to be expected low performance.

    I'll go back to Silca Synergetic for race use: tried and proven!

  6. Can't recommend. Tested on the Silk Road Mountain Race.

    So a few weeks back I wrote that I'll try this Trutension cycle Banana Slip Drip Lube.

    Reason: it tests similar to the proven Silca Synergetic, is also kind of a drip wax like Silca Super Secret Chain coating yet promises near instant ready time after application (5-10 mins).

    So far, so good.

    But...

  11. Immersive Waxing... wrote about it why it's so-so for ultracycling and actually confirmed it sort of because the wax only lasted to the first thunderstorm and not even the first 12 hours of the race... Oh well - it got waxed again as I'm now at home again and for daily riding it's fine. 😅

  14. Yes, that is a Sram XO Eagle Transmission Cassette and RD.

    And it's running with a non flattop chain and matched to a Shimano XTR chainring.

    Connex by Wippermann showed it at Cyclingworld Europe behind acrylic and it ran very rough...

  15. Look what I just found!

    Very interesting chainring solutions. Including Sram AXS. They even got AXS direct mount spiders!

    And they have nice Shimano XT/XTR direct mount chainrings, too. 👍

  20. It just occurred to me that everybody riding a 1x mullet setup with his Gravel bike (and most probably does so with a SRAM over a Shimano GRX drivetrain) really opted for the worst of all the possible drivetrain efficiency downfalls: He not only suffers "cross chaining" efficiency losses in the outermost cogs of the cassette but also does so with the worst of all chains - the conventional Eagle AXS chain! Yikes! (see my previous posts to see why)

  21. Here the chart with the results. Be aware that the horizontal axis is not watts saved but seems to indicate a very rough 2 Watts per 1.5 ticks ratio. For a clean chain. May sound very minuscule but keep in mind a) 2 Watts more loss from an around 4 Watts "best" chain is already 50 % more loss and b) these losses become amplified the longer the chain gets exposed to road/trail grit and grime.

  22. That's where my friend broke his #derailleur hanger: it snapped when he carried his bike across barriers mas.to/@Anibyl/110412407608382

    With help of a passerby he managed to convert his 1x11 #drivetrain to a #SingleSpeed one.

    Hangers fatigue and break, especially when riding off-road; it's better to be ready for that: carry spare hanger, chain breaker, pliers, chain link. We had only a chain breaker 😔

    I've also heard that gearhubs are pretty reliable 😜

  23. If you ride single-speed, or with hub gears, there's a revolutionary upgrade available for you right now!
    Make your chain last AT LEAST 3.5 times longer, while making your drive-train more efficient.

  24. Data science people:

    Is Jeremy Howard's Drivetrain approach still discussed?

    Has it been superseded by other approaches to building data-driven products?

    I can basically find one nice essay by him & some collaborators on it, but not much since then.

    Thanks!
