    Haters going to hate

    I like the thread over on BROL, I have a feeling that the new poster was the recently banned 'RChung'. And the way Tim Turner disposes the rather tedious Aurelius with hard facts.... :D

    How long to learn to ride?

    It can be done as I've done it, here's how. First of all except that riding a MBB FWD is different then a rear wheel drive low racer. I was quite surprised upon owning and ridden a Low Baron and Metabike that when I first rode my V20 I got about 4 yards before almost crashing, accept that this...

    SOLID Tannus Tire Testing on my V20

    That's interesting - Many thanks Larry. Looking at your data these tyres then would be ideal for touring out in the middle of nowhere. You'll lose just under 4mph but your HR remains the same. Not the thing for racing on though, an extra 70 watts to average 23mph and your HR has gone from what...

    Ah yes, forgot about this. Had a slight muscle twinge in my right leg so did not want to risk it with PBP being only a week away so was a DNS. Glad you had a good time.

    How many KOM's?

    https://www.strava.com/activities/353272113 Here it is, major faff with Strava. The ride was de-flagged but the times were not showing up on the leaderboards, and then there were no times at all. So I deleted the activity and re-posted it e-mailing customer support to let them know what I had done.

    Hi Mike What audax ride are you doing? And as a veteran of a few 200k rides and a SR series I'll say the following:- a) Is about right, my kit is about the same when doing a 200, except I carry AA batteries for the Garmin Etrex and the phone I usually keep turned off. b) All depends on the...

    How many KOM's?

    Thanks, I'm looking forward to PBP, have got a couple of 200k audaxes to do before tapering begins in three weeks. This ride was a good test of some of the training that I have done over the last couple of months. The rider who held the KOM's (or the majority) has got a lot of KOM's and on the...
