Episode notes
Transparency Maintains Trust
- The T100/PTO needs to own operational mistakes to retain athlete trust and should make courses foolproof.
- Public, reflexive social clips amplify backlash and erode trust despite good athlete services.
When To Spin Down Your KICKR
- Skip frequent spin-downs on a Wahoo KICKR unless readings drift far from a trusted powermeter.
- Do a spin-down if you notice wattage deviating greatly or after major transport/altitude changes.
Use Sound As Your Chain Cue
- Refresh or lube a trainer-only chain when it starts to make noise rather than on a rigid schedule.
- Indoor chains need less frequent waxing because there's no grit; use drip wax or add lube as needed.
