When I was doing my best climbing I kept medium cadence, solidly connected my back to the seat, and kept my arms relaxed. I mostly pushed through my low back but could move the pressure upwards (towards and including bridging) for power bursts.

For weeks tried adjusting my book position on the side of the road. Many times I'd lose hold of the boom and it would slip. I'd lose track of where I used to have the boom so I'd have to guess where it used to be. Solution: place a square of electrical tape next to each boom clamp. Before each...

Lee, do you audax with those platform pedals or clipless?

Niko, once you feel more relaxed, try moving the handlebar away just a tad. Your arms look a bit more bent then I've found to be comfortable and powerful

The handlebar in the frameset photo looks great. Anyone know what it is?

Sorry to hear yours has been stolen. That's terrible. How'd it happen?

Great site. I just input some recent incidences.

I use my S30 as a vehicle. So my shoe/pedal selection is a balance of on and off bike performance. This combo is turning out great for life with a bike. Soft Star Shoes Moc3. Hand made in Oregon. Leather for skin protection, thin soles for minimal pedal power loss and barefoot mechanics, slip...

I've got an extra Avid 160 mm G2CS disc brake (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/avid-clean-sweep-g2-rotor/rp-prod15263?gs=1&gclid=Cj0KEQjwl-e4BRCwqeWkv8TWqOoBEiQAMocbP0qT88ozTlN7KUmUv5Y1Jkzv1Nk9RjN_j4h-xlJynQIaAjtC8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds) with bolts. New, never used, $10 + shipping if...

Could you post a few more pictures of your dry-bag/velcro setup?

Ditto

Move somewhere with a warm enough winter for no off-season :)

A few months back I was going about 30 mph and a motorist drove in front of me. I hit the brakes and got down to 15-20 before striking the side. He was moving from my left to right. My feet went with him to the right giving me a bit of rotation as the rest of me went over his car. I landed...

I've got a disc up front and calipers in the rear. The rear needs less braking capacity. Between the brakes and the wheel build, a caliper setup is lighter and less expensive. These are the reasons I went with this setup and it's working well so far.

Give that document a read. It has recommendations for consumptions of various things per hour. I've found my consumption levels fall in their

This has a lot of useful information for being powerful and feeling good: The Endurance Athlete's Guide to Success To be clear, I absolutely do not endorse the wasteful, inefficient, refined, brand name goods they pedal. Their messages and strategies work very well, though. Many of the...

Already did.

Still looking for a curved slider? I bought one but with my platform pedals and 150 mm extension the boom is practically horizontal. I don't need my curved slider. $100 + shipping

I also use an Air Attack. I wear it with more forward tilt. The visor almost rests on the arch of my nose. This does a better job of keeping stuff out of my eyes, although not perfectly. Have you tried loosening the helmet a bit and tilting it forward?

An aerodynamic caliper brake seems a bit unnecessary when nested behind the seat.
