Small help if anyone has encountered this when looking at moving to Zensical.

Taking a look at Zensical to see if it can easily replace current Mkdocs-Material setup.

Most of it looks fine.

However the graphics, driven by the vegalite markdown extensions do not want to display - simply shows the source JSON code from the markdown file, rather than the graphs you get with Mkdocs.

Relevant sections of mkdocs.yml are:-

markdown\_extensions:
  - pymdownx.superfences:
      custom\_fences:
        - name: vegalite
          class: vegalite
          format: !!python/name:mkdocs\_charts\_plugin.fences.fence\_vegalite

Curiousity I have had a couple of times with my Garmin Edge 810 (which works fine thanks). Rides are uploaded to Garmin Connect in usual way.

At end of recent ride the device shows "Personal Records: Best Power (20 minutes) 219 watts".

But Garmin Connect (app/website) does not show that ride as a record - in fact "Max Average Power (20 minutes)" shows as 192 watts.

Tbh the graph in Garmin Connect does not show any period of 20 minutes at power over 200 watts.

So what is going on?

Option #1 - the device is calculating this value wrong

Option #2 - Garmin Connect's statistic and the device's statistic are not calculating the same thing - the wording is indeed different "Max Average Power" vs "Best Power" for 20 minutes.

There are other statistics - like "Fastest 40km" where the device and the Garmin Connect app and website agree.

Question about the interchangeability of Mavic spokes.

I recently bought a second hand set of Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels from 2009, but which have been little used. Aluminium rims, steel bladed spokes. Fairly sure I got a bargain.

However then I did some belated homework and started reading that the proprietary spokes (FORE type, with M7 left hand threaded nipples) are often characterised as "unobtainium". Three different spoke lengths for this wheel set.

The wheels are fine right now, but I was concerned about falling into the situation mentioned several times - that a wheel with one broken spoke becomes junk because no spare spokes available.

I have managed to obtain a small supply of spare spokes for two out of the three required lengths. But the third length harder to get.

The third length is the 276mm spokes for the rear wheel, drive side (right). Part nbr 996-865-01  in silver, 996-857-01 in black. The end of the spoke has a mini threaded nipple used to retain the larger M7 nipple used when building or truing (as opposed to the fixed nub on later Mavic spokes).

The actual spokes hard to find - but there are other spokes available which appear similar - same length, same M7 nipple, described as being for rear non-drive side - but for wheels from (say) 2015, with different part number.

Is it posssible to use such newer model spoke on the older wheels?

I have a venerable but still excellent Cannondale Synapse Carbon from 2008 - the frames have a characteristic bulge in the seat tube just above the front mech attachment.

Still using the original wheels - which have Mavic Ksyrium aluminium rims. There are 24 "bladed" spokes. Rims have bare metal braking surfaces with black coating on the inside where the spoke holes are.

When cleaning the rear wheel recently I noticed cracks in the inner part of the rim near six of the spoke holes.

There is no visible distortion of the rim. I have not crashed or otherwise put particular stress on things.

Are these cracks going to lead to failure? Is it possible that the cracks are confined to the black coating only, and are not structurally significant?

Any wisdom or experience appreciated.

I have been practicing a number of endgames - mostly using the Lichess phone app. I set up position with Board Editor, then take option continue from here, play against computer. Doing it like that is quite flexible - and the moves are not registered as a "game played".

However if I do something similar via the web interface, each game gets included as part of my games history. These are simply practice - so recording them is just noise.

Is it possible to play against the computer on web interface without it being recorded as a game.

(From what I understand Lichess does not permit you to delete games from your history).
