Drive failure isn't the only reason for data loss. Drives don't always suddenly stop working either, for example they can develop bad sectors that you don't necessaily know about until you're trying to restore from your one and only backup. It's your data and your decision of how much risk you...

It feels bruised at the front part of the heel, and I'm hoping that's all it is and that it's taking it's time because I'm putting weight on it. It's a bit worse first thing but not much worse, and stretching doesn't do much.

I fixed your post. Not much to contribute I'm afraid - I only looked in as I've had a sore heel for the last week which doesn't seem to be fixing itself quickly. Hope you manage to get it sorted.

Could your bike fit be contributing to it, e.g. cleats too far forward?

This is where I'd start, and also think about how critical the data is, how much it changes, and what type of backup is sufficient to reduce the risk of losing stuff to the point where you wouldn't kick yourself if the worst happens. In my example, data falls into 3 main categories: 1. many TB...

It might be worth a try to get it replaced under warranty, but if you are successful you might get a 'remanufactured' drive back (which from experience I wouldn't trust as much as a new one).

Sorry for pointing out the obvious re backups - good to hear you've got it covered. My first thought was that it could be the bearing making a noise, which could be benign or cause it to fail to spin up whenever it was least convenient. I'd expect the SMART spin-up time might start increasing if...

It's a clue to make sure you've got a good backup! If you're sure it's the hard disk (and not a case or PSU fan) then I'd be assuming the worst.

Thanks, and hopefully you didn't intend fantastic to be read as 'unbelievable' :) I've actually toyed with getting some power meter pedals just to confirm the SB20 numbers, but it would be expensive and I've no real reason to think the cranks are miscalibrated. I don't really know how I'd...

Good grief, that sounds beyond terrible and puts my experience into perspective. It's obviously not typical but I wasn't aware that could happen.

Meanwhile, the latest episode of BBC's Inside Science https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hjy4z8 features long covid for those interested in a summary of how it has affected people and some of the ongoing research.

I think it's a bit different to other hernias where a loop of intestine gets through a sheet of muscle. It's not the top bit of stomach sliding up that's the problem, it's that it causes the valve through the diaphragm to leak stomach acid (which is a miserable experience apart from the damage...

Not had it done but at one point thought it might be an option. I got the impression that it isn't a magic fix so hope your GP / consultant have discussed the pros and cons plus any alternatives (e.g. losing any excess weight) with you. AIUI, it's when the top bit of your stomach slides up...

Hi, I'm not sure I can currently call myself real cyclist as I don't actually have a bike with wheels. When I first started on a second hand exercise bike in 2016 I'd guess my FTP was around 200W (and I was reasonably fit from swimming at the time). It was 270W by the time I got the SB20 smart...

One of those someones was me - being short-sighted I was asking how large you could make the fonts. It looks good! The elevation profile alone has probably sold it to me. The other thing I'd be interested in seeing is the Watts saved through drafting - it might tell me I'm not as efficient as...

Sounds like a genuine time to use the Coffee Stop feature (if you can cope with the 'freeloader' comments :cry:). Just in case anyone is desperate to get hold of a particular prize on The Big Spin, if you complete the shorter route within 30 minutes and immediately do a late restart back into...

Hi everyone. I wrote the simulation you're all in. Are there any changes you'd like me to make?

Main lesson learned from Stage 3 of the Zwift Games: don't have a massive lasagne too soon before a full-on 82km race. Set power PBs from 1h30m and 2200 calories burnt according to Strava. Having a nice sit down now...

a. The phone running the companion needs to be connected to the same network as the device running Zwift. Could it be connecting via a different wifi network, or using mobile data? b. The Wahoo KICKR desk or cheaper clones might be an option for your laptop/monitor/phone/drinks/whatever c. I use...

It might suggest that others are drafting more effectively and saving more of their energy for the final push? That's an interesting one. The climbs are where all the lighter / stronger riders naturally attack. If you're heavier with more power and can hang on uphill, then the downhill is where...
