Stuzio  Sally, thank you for being part of Stuzio. You look stunning as usual.
Sally   Thanks, this is so awesome, I just love interviews and stuff. I think interviews are key to restoring confidence in American education of young girls and show off the beauty of our country in confidenteous and beautiful methodolgy.
Stuzio  ... yes, you look great. Can you talk about how you got started on bicycle mechanic career?
Sally   Like about 2 years ago, I went to watch a professional bicycle race and I just fell in love with it. All those hot guys riding in tights, shaved legs, totally fit. I mean it was like totally hot like way better than those baggy boys at the mall.
Stuzio  Right, so that's how you decided to explore mechanics career?
Sally  Yep, totally
Stuzio  Do you actually fix and build bicycles yourself?
Sally   Oh yeah, I get totally into it like allen wrenchs and everything. I've totally done it all. Sometimes I ask the cute racers to help me out like cleaning dirty chains and stuff and guys are so nice to me. They totally help me out. It's totally awesome. I just love my racers.
Stuzio   So, Sally, you will write articles for Stuzio as well as answer our reader's questions?
Sally   Totally, I love to get letter from fans. If they send their pictures along with questions, that would be funner (giggle giggle). But yeah, totally. Send me your bike questions. I think questionability is so important to our society and like there are so many people like in country of Africa where they need world peace. Yes, totally, send me like all your questions. I am all about democracy and free speech.
Stuzio  That's great. I actually have a question from one of our reader with me, would you like to try one now?
Sally  Oh yeah totally, how fun.
Stuzio   OK, this one comes from Josey in California.
Dear Sally,
I've been using my SRM power meter for several months now and everything was working fine. Recently, however, my power reading drops to zero reading during a ride. I've replaced the battery on the crank and computer unit. SRM checked the sensor also and they can't find anything wrong. I've played with the sensor position but power reading just drops randomly and stays zero for rest of the ride. I'm using the sensor that mounts to the cable guide screw. Please help.
Sally   What a cute name, Josey. I bet he's cute. Oh-mi-gosh, is Josey a girl's name? So, sorry. I bet she's hot. Ok, whatever. That's a really awesome question. Guys are always coming to me with their SRM. I have to say my racers are soooo smart, specially the cute ones. They totally know about checking batteries, positioning their sensors and all that stuff. Guys try so hard and they play with their sonsors until it's about to fall off. You can move it closer, farther, up, down. It's all worth trying. I bet Josey tried all that already and the power reading is still dropping randomly just like sales at the mall. How sucky. These situations are so stressful to our cerebellum. I just want to give Josey a big hug, poor Josey. We should totally make our lives happier by chucky-chucky the stress and having more me-time. I just love me-time.
Stuzio  So Sally, what can Josey do to fix the problem
Sally   Oh, it's so simple. Go to Home Depot and ask any cute guys for a magnet. Buy few of those little round magnets like size of a magnet for wheel speedy thingy but without any screws and stuff. Then stick one magnet to the SRM sensor. This like make the sensor totally more harder and will trigger the SRM crank so it won't go night night during a ride. Use your favorite color tape to sticky sticky the magnet to the sensor. I've tried this tricksy many times and guys just love me.

Just remember for SRM, no cadence is no power.
Stuzio  That sounds great. We hope this will fix Joesy's SRM problem. Thank you Sally
Sally  Oh you are so welcome. I just love to help out and free speeching and stuff.
