The Brompton chainset upgrade/swap thread:

very helpful thread on alternatives to the stock Brompton JIS Square taper 119mm bottom bracket, the Shimano Octalink v1 square taper one being the most promising I think.

“Fuck me, what a rider! Attack! Attack! And then attack some more in a style we’ve not seen in men’s road racing for years. By about the fifth time she shot off the front, through a wall of wet road spray, on yet another suicide mission I was smitten. When you dream about bike racing, this is what it looks like - aggressive, assertive, passionate, hard, EPIC.”

“Athletes also rely heavily on nutritional supplements, which are legal. “They’re 98.5% hype,” says Conrad Earnest, an exercise physiologist at the University of Bath, UK. But one supplement that does work for some athletes is creatine, which contributes to the synthesis of the energy carrier molecule ATP during exercise. Earnest estimates that athletes taking creatine could see their performance improve by as much as 8%. Another effective supplement is beetroot juice. Researchers at the University of Essex have found that the nitrate present in the juice increases nitric oxide levels in the body, allowing muscles to use oxygen more efficiently.”
