How many spacers were moved when the re-fitting was done? Looks like almost a stem's worth. Why should the stem be flipped? That's what I thought, he dropped the bars a good bit.

I kind of meant my post to be tongue in cheek. I'd have to see him on the bike to know if flipping it is a good/bad idea. Most riders can always use going lower. |

Are any of you investors? The annual meeting is always really good and this one was no exception. This was the first year I volunteered and it was a really good experience. Most everyone was really great but one woman, while stomping her foot, told us to earn our keep and find her a seat. LOL On yeah, miraculously, with spotty 3G cell service in the shareholder meeting, I'm in for the ascent. I assume you're talking about SBUX? right? I don't have holdings outside my mutual funds but I probably should the way my wife spends money there. I like to invest in companies that I like and have personal experience with like Alaska Air, Tim Horton's, Callaway (when I used to golf), etc. Does one get any special perks as a shareholder? A strong and consistent ROI? Some free coffee too. And the shareholders meeting is something a lot of investors view as a "perk" as they get gift bags, free coffee and entertainment.
I think, and this is totally personal, that I prefer to invest with a company that has values that align with mine. Thus far, Howard has not be afraid to take an aggressive stand in controversial issues (race, marriage equality) ex: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/22/starbucks-gay-marriage-howard-schultz_n_2931734.html (this was awesome to witness!) http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/19/business/starbucks-race-together-shareholders-meeting.html?_r=0

Originally posted by popsracer Originally posted by Jet Black Originally posted by popsracer That's interesting on your foot. Have you done a bike fit? Did they mess with the cleats w/spacers to get your feet and legs set up right on the pedals? Might be worth checking that. On riding with power, I'm still waiting for a cheaper pedal based system. I am getting a little impatient but it sounds like some new things are just around the corner. I have several wheels that I use so don't want to commit to a hub based system. On another note, I think it is riding not running that was contributing to my recent foot pain. Seems really odd but it is when I get off my trainer that I feel those little twinges of PF type pain. When I stepped on a root several weeks ago that just inflamed what was becoming tender. I've been riding with Feetures PF sock for added support which seems to help but I am still getting a hot spot on my foot. Am puzzled?? My road bike shoe with a narrower toe box was much worse than my wider tri bike shoe. Do you think more padding would help like a gel insert? I refit every couple of years. I have a cyclocross bike with a different shoe and cleat system so I may see if I have similar issues with that setup. If not, I'll talk to my fitter specifically about this. I have a huge power imbalance due to nerve damage in one of my legs and it is the good leg that is causing me problems. I mash pretty hard on the trainer so might be putting disproportionately high stress on the good foot. I ride outdoors with higher cadence and less hard grinding so that might help too. I was having problems on my road bike with The Limb and tons of pain. After my ankle/foot surgery I had a lot of scar tissue build up and I have nerve damage. The scar build up causes my posterior tibial tendon to take a different track now and because of the reconstruction surgery on that tendon it is now too short to go around the scar tissue. Some of the pain presents as PF type pain. When I was fit for my TT bike they put a spacer in the limb's shoe and moved the cleat location. It took a while for the limb to get used to the spacer and the new position, but now that it is used to everything the pain has been cut almost in half. My right leg is much stronger than my left, aka The Limb. I have a tendancy to twist on the bike to get more power from the right leg, causing my right foot to go numb. Unfortunately the left foot never goes numb.... |

My road bike shoe with a narrower toe box was much worse than my wider tri bike shoe. Do you think more padding would help like a gel insert? I have stiff inserts for my bike shoes to provide support. They help me a lot. They are the kind that are used for hockey skates, I'm told. From my initial research, CCM makes an insert that people seem to love. Are hockey skates sized 1.5 less than shoe size? |

I'm not going to be in danger of winning any races anytime soon, but if someone is passing me they're going to be going at a pretty good clip. I doubt many of them won't be trying to take most aero advantage they can too. Salty would probably be one of those exceptions though lol. Edited by Jet Black 2015-03-19 3:14 PM |
