trying to figure out how to use my new iphone after 3-4 years of android. Takes some getting used to but I think I'm achieving my goal of being less connected...
My new power pedals are set to arrive today, so I get to try an FTP test and all two of my strava followers can see how weak I am...w00t

Hey internetters LOL! I did an hour on the bike trainer early this morning. Wife made me get up early for it. This marriage is abusive. It's going to be sunny and 49 degrees today. Sweeeet.
Heeeey, noooooo.....you'll do...you're gonna do great....
We're in a melting phase up here also. Not quite as warm...
What'd ya get?
Thank you USPS for fucking up two back to back orders.

I'd like to thank Obama, also.
present. work. coffee.
Here. Busy day, again. Got the new job applied for yesterday. They posted the range and it's a decent, but not outlandish, jump over my current. Director asked me to inform my current manager right away so he's not blindsided when I tell him I have an interview. Also gives my manager time to start talking with my current director about retention options, which I believe was a big part of his reasoning. Hopefully it all works out in my favor.
Got about half the remaining floor removed last night and I'm hoping to get what's left pulled tonight. I get to start the process of moving furniture as soon as I'm done with that.
Also have to squeeze in finishing waxing Haley's skis and showing neighbor how to scrape and buff skis.
FTS kind of week.

Our company only uses iPhones because the security is better. I've been on an Android for about 15 years. It's been a fucking nightmare figuring out how to use the damn thing.
Hows the incoming calls screening on the Fruit? Can't live without that anyone.
Here.

Favero Assioma Uno
Allegedly the body can be swapped for an Xpedo MTB pedal, but I'm not going there. I should be able to swap between my spinner and my road bike with ease, which is all I really care about.
I think I like android better but I wanted to start to move away from relying on google for everything. I know that I'm a boring human, but them having all of my search, browsing, and email history got a little scary. Apple at least keeps your shit locked up after they collect it.
So far the biggest flaws I've found are no bluetooth smart unlock and an inferior app drawer system, but it's not impossible to use. I also really miss the always on display of my Note, which let me check the time and incoming messages. I'm getting used to it, but it's also helpful to encourage disconnecting- I'm not constantly aware of any notifications, so I check my phone less.
honestly I hated the way calls were screened on my note. Despised it. The iphone was vastly superior, but since changing my number I dumped a majority of the spam already.
thats interesting. one of the reasons i haven't looked much into pedal based power meters is that all the ones i've seen are for road pedals, not mtb.
New bike day at home last night:
I think it fits, but would definitely have preferred 26" wheels... Will probably put a shorter stem, lower it, and maybe even throw on some flat bars (all items I have hiding in that mess back there). If I was being picky, and had unlimited funds, I'd get 155mm cranks, and 26" rims. But I'll see how this goes for now.
It's a 2020 Norco Fluid HT2 in XS. I had called local Norco dealers looking for the 2021 version, and one of the closest shops to me actually had this one in stock, so I bought it sight unseen. I was really hoping it would fit properly, and I think we're in good shape.

I have heard very good things about the faveros. Someday I may consider adding power to my MTB, but that's not what I train on/for.
He was using Android before it was
I have been forced to use an i-phone for work. I hate it but since I am never away from my computer in WFH mode I only have to use it as a basic phone, which works fine.
interesting. by the time you source both sets of pedals, it'd still be close to $900.Assioma power meter SPD pedal hack

Strain gages do not like impacts. I am guessing a few pedal strikes could quickly turn a pedal based power meter into a very expensive regular pedal. Or at least a wildly inaccurate power meter.
cool my home refi closes on Friday 20 year fixed @ 2.25% We have done 3 refis since buying the house in 2012 and have gone from 4.75% on a 30 year fixed to this. I love having a CPA for a wife that is so on top of all this stuff
yes. So stupid. If I was better at building wheels I'd consider lacing up 26" rims. But then I'd need shorter cranks, and I'm just not sure it's worth the hassle. (though I just checked, and those cranks come in 155mm... (currently 170mm)).
yea, i don't get the aversion to 26" wheels, they make perfect sense for kids bikes
for anyone interested in actually improving cycling fitness, etc, training with a power meter is the single most useful thing you can use.
