So I haven't read all the comments here but, I thought I'd post this article or those who are intersted: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/55/15/865?fbclid=IwAR0Mx3LwvYROTkOQGCwRv_qZgNJNt26EfG_V8miCYRYKiGjiOU1rZa1nGaI It's an open access research/ review paper in the British Journal of sports medicine, so anyone can read it. I'm no sports scientist, but the discussion of the paper offers some intersting findings. (I reccomend reading the introduction and discussion sections, at the top and bottom of the article) For example: Quote: 'the small decrease in strength in transwomen after 12–36 months of GAHT suggests that transwomen likely retain a strength advantage over cisgender women. Whether longer duration of GAHT would yield further decrements in strength in transgender women is unknown. In contrast to strength-related data, blood cell findings revealed a different time course of change. After 3–4 months on GAHT, the HCT19 or Hgb16 levels of transwomen matched those of cisgender women, with levels remaining stable within the ‘normal’ female range for studies lasting up to 36 months. Given the rapid fall in Hgb/HCT to ‘normal’ female levels with GAHT, it is possible that transfemale athletes experience impaired endurance performance in part due to reduced oxygen transport from the lungs to the working muscles.62 This postulate is consistent with findings reported in one of the few studies conducted in athletic transwomen.63 In this study, the race times of eight transfemale distance runners were compared at baseline and after one or more years of GAHT. After adjusting performance for age, the eight runners were not more competitive in the female category (after GAHT) than they had been in the male category (before GAHT). Given this, and that the changes in Hgb/ HCT follow a different time course than strength changes, sportspecific regulations for transwomen in endurance ver strength sports may be needed.' Not offering an opinion - just posting. :)

I'm not sure if this ones been asked or not, but: With your new 38 coming with an extra bolt by the axel to compensate for the effects of poor hub tollerences (cool idea btw), I was if the difference between QR and bolt-through axels could make a any difference with regards to applying unwanted stress to the lowers (and thereby inducing missalignment etc) - is there a better choice between QR and bolt-through axels? Thanks!
