I have recently decided to try out heat training, but I wanted to avoid paying an absolute fortune for the CORE body temperature sensor. I instead decided to give this a go:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007923415002.html

It is IP22 certified against water and dust, but I can also certify it against heavy sweating, at least after a few sessions. The app that is promoted with the product requires creating an account, and for some reason syncs everything to the cloud; I instead recommend using the Tempal app.

The only problem I currently have is figuring out how to securely attach it to my armpit. I am using the heart rate monitor strap for now, but it only works as long as I am not moving too much. I also just ordered an elastic hand band (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32833627238.html), which is going to take some time to arrive, but I think it should work much better. In the meantime, do you have any DIY ideas for how to attach the thermometer securely to my armpit?

hello,
Because of that round shape, I would check for glycogen straps.

Hope it helps!!

Bought some Van Rysel bibs and I can honestly say Lameda is better

Barely any compression and fits weird. The inseam is too long for my taste

hi there,
what kind of chamois Lameda use?
i have some van rysel, and i'm looking for alternatives to the Elastic Interface chamois.
for me it's too wide, and i find it uncomfortable. it also causes some irritation.
thanks for the info.

Hi all,

I've decided to mount shorter cranks. Not for fashion, but to avoid aches and pains (currently going to the physiotherapist)

The simplest idea would be to buy a 160mm shimano cranks. The shortest they manufacture. But with very little availability in stores.

So I want to try the following options:

Crankset:

(around EUR 37.19)

(around EUR 21.39)

To give more info: I have a Dura Ace FC7900 crankset, mounted on a BB (I think it's series 105) The bike is mainly used on roller. But if it doesn't mess up the shifting too much, I might use it sometime on the road.

I can easily remove one part and put on another. My doubts are about the complete assembly, and that everything works from the beginning.
Do I need some kind of spacer/washer? Would it be necessary to change the bb? Would you consider another option or brand? What would be all that would be necessary to have no problems during assembly?

Thanks for the information and help!

Dear kbernstein,

thanks for your help.

Idea it would be to replace the whole crankset.

i was checking: Ultegra FC-R8100 Crankset - 2x12-speed  https://www.bike24.com/p2509119.html?source=SRP&indexName=production_SEARCH_INDEX_EN&objectId=509119&queryId=0c3283d080e7e37fd6ba7d8595717b61&userToken=1acda5d1-fe69-4752-adb1-a203bdc09359&sku=1739983

as i was doubting was checking other brands that advise compatibility with 10s groupsets as:
FSA OMEGA MODULAR MEGAEXO crankset https://shop.fullspeedahead.com/en/type/cranksets/cranksets/road-gravel/omega-modular-megaexo-crankset

ROTOR INpower Road Gloss Crankset https://rotorbike.com/en-eu/inpower-road-gloss-crankset.html

PRAXIS ZAYANTE CARBON-S https://praxiscycles.com/es/product/zayante-carbon-s/

Do you think should i go with shimano or maybe the other alternatives? what do they think the others?

Thanks for your help!!

You can look it up. Rose themself says that they let the carbon and alloy frames be made in China (speeder could it be) and than imported back to Germay. Only the assembly and R&D are in Germany.
Also from Taiwan....

Tcheu ste panthere https://youtu.be/CrRkv7e3exc? This video was peak internet. It's down the road from my place in the mountains, puts a smile on my face every time, and i've watched it well over 100x.
It's just fancy car vinyl decals, the whole bike cost 10 euro in stickers, i found a friendly neighbor with a plotter machine. It's fully reversible (I half ghetto spray painted a bike last year, i regret it already).
In the last 2 years i built 9 bikes and rebuilt 1. I have too many bikes as well as friends who are supporting my toxic habit :) It's a hobby that occupies way too much space in my head.
Facteur & tractor is ofc me trolling Factor. This frame looks a lot like a factor Ostro something.

hello Serge,
what frame is your Tractor (i love it LOL) I really like frames with that T-tail. So looking for something like SystemSix or Ostro VAM.

Joe has had a sensah for a while supposed to be coming Q3 this year

hello,
just heard there is already a sensah electronic since last year. it looks it was last year on Eurobike. due to patent issues has been not showed this year and not released.
also that they had to change the name from Sensah to other one.
lets see what the future brings to us.

logged around 103kms already... the bike is stiff compared to my old bike, feels like a solid wall...
i dont know if its just in my head but once you roll, you want to full gas all the time, it feels light or whatsoever cant explain but i am gasping  ;D
need to get use with the handlebar height, it was 2cm lower than my old bike, riding/sprinting on the drop needs more training...
my favorite part is the brake... very far from the rim brake, bite right away and no worries of wear on the rims...
as we said, maybe we are just enjoying our build... i just hope not to see any cracks soon... ;D

hello, great build. looks amazing. one question, i do not see calipers on the list, which one did you mount it? thanks!!

well,
they only respond if you order, otherwise, you are ghosted.
They basically do not care if problems occur..they fail sending me documents...we offered to translate the app to germany, no response.
They promised so many things which did not happen....
i am selling off my grt stock for low prices...if anyone wants a groupset, i will offer better than aliexpress prices including shipping, i just want to get rid of them..even mechanic groupsets work fine...

Are you testing several EDS TX groupsets to become EU/DE distributor?
