After that, I did a bike redo on both my TREK Madone and TREK Domane. Now there is little left of the original equipment. I've changed the tires to the to CONTINENTAL GatorSkin HardShell, added 50cm aero wheels, added FIZIK bar jell and used Bontrager double cork bar tape. My bike cockpit has a GARMIN Edge 1000 and POWER TAP Joule GPS power meter that I can switch on both bikes. For safety I use the bontrageer iON 100R/Flare R City headlight and tail lights for both bikes and keep spares in my seat bag in case one loses battery strength. I use a SERFAS split seat that is cushioned for long rides (up to 12 hours and more) during the outdoor riding season.
Thanks Josh!
For my offseason (Winter Training) I now upgraded to the CycleOps Hammer direct drive Smart Trainer formerly using first the Fluid Trainer 2 and then PowerBeam Pro Smart Trainer. I use ROUVY (formerly CycleOps Virtual Training) as my indoor virtual program. This allows me to ride road courses throughout the world with up to 4K video. The Smart Training program with a resistance unit that is calibrated gives the most realistic that almost feels like riding outdoors. You can also use the training workouts for specific workouts (ie., high cadence, increasing your FTP (Functional Threshold Power), and interval workouts. Just try the Blender, 1 hour and 43 minutes of misery that will use all the workouts in one. For the casual rider, you can select any course that allows you to ride Flat road courses or for those looking for a challenge try a High Mountain Pass ride.

Finally, I've followed Josh Hanson to his present location because Josh is a USA Cycling trained Race Bike Mechanic. This means that he knows how to fix things fast and correctly. Josh has 20 years of experience working on bikes and all you have to do is watch him do a quick Silver Package tuneup and you'll understand how that experience and training has helped keep me on the road.
I've been a customer of Stadium Bike since I took up cycling 6 years ago at the advanced age of 61. I've followed Josh Hanson from the Mason Street site to his present location at 633 Development Drive in Bellevue, just off HWY 172 and Monroe Road.
I've asked Josh to investigate the possibilities of changing my cassette on my TREK Domane to something that is easier to ride up hills. He found out that with my present setup he could install a cassette with the lowest gear using a 34-32 ratio (same ratio as Chris Froome uses on his high mountain stages).
This past month I had both bikes in for a GOLD package update that had all the cables replaced and had the chain ring and cassette cleaned so when Spring rolls around I'll be set to ride.
I was so happy with that setup I've switched the cassette on my TREK Madone to the same 34-32.
