Free speed thread lol. Give em shits. I always get nervous even on a sportive.

Climbing mountains and 155 mm short cranks is seemingly harder than 170 mm crankset. But I do get all other advantages which are not really a fad but of real benefit. My natural cadence has increased and I have better form with no loss in power. But anything over 6% and of any distance is...

Top notch effort. Great read thanks for sharing.

I’m a grandfather and the fun I have on my vendetta is timeless. Enjoy your relative youth Jason. Life is beautiful. Wish we had events as regularly as you Americans. When I retire I’ll organise my own and give something back.

I’ve got the white silver air attack shield and use it too . I find it hot as it has very few vents compared to my other aero helmet the ballista. I’m talking 32 deg c and above. With the da brim it is a 4 “ visor attached with Velcro to the helmet. It’s a cycling accessory. It gives so...

But the giro air attack is a hot helmet. It’s hotter than my ballista

Uv arms and legs plus da brim means no suntan lotion. And no 1 dork genius factor but at the end of the day the sunburnt cool uncool cinders will agree. Youre the coolest. I also use an ultralight hiking foreign legionnaires style cap for summer burn out days.

Your wrists need to be straight if possible and even pressure on all fingers In all positions. The only time you should be gripping your bars is on exertion climbing sprinting otherwise it’s a feather grip. Perhaps your grip is still understandably too strong resulting in fatigue and trigger...

Yep it’s not a df. It’s a yummy cruzbike I want one please my darling wife s40 cause seven is lucky but an odd number of bikes eight days a week.

Lol Yep that’s what we said in checking correct orientation of bearings. Pretty easy to make mistakes if you don’t know and don’t follow instructions. But if Kenneth did then it’s loose stem or incorrect pre load. Simple. For a wheelbuilder in an airport. Lol. That really is amazing. Kenneth...

Plus one on Jeremy. Must have small spacer between stem boom clamp and headset. Loosen stem bolts x 2 . After ensuring condition and correct orientation/placement of top bottom headset bearings you could be able to tighten cap bolt TEMPORARILY to the point where steerer movement feels...

Also try moving boom and handlebar together half a cm at a time to give you more elbow angle. If your arms are too straight this can cause issue. Move your hands frequently from drops to hoods. Try double taping drops.

Lol it’s mid winter here and 25 deg c. Today.

That is just great stuff. What cycling is about in a nutshell. You can’t beat experience. Thanks for sharing.

Bontrager ballista was best aero style helmet according to wind tunnel testing on a df when I did my research. I have it and it’s not hot compared to my giro air attack shield which was the first but ran last in the test. Of course the helmet is oriented differently on our recumbents and the...

Shimano SPD have adjustment. That’s all I’ve used. Shimano are reliable.

Yes me too why rush when you’re going so fast anyway no one can catch you lol.

So your 20 minute power is the same it’s just sprinting. Hmm I would have thought by swinging that boom and laying into it pressing neck that your sprint wattages would be within 10%. What wattage are we talking 1000 v 800 ? That much power will require a harness lol. Low speed stability is...

Osiris what I seem to think you are talking is the pointy end neuro muscular sprinting . Maximum power. I’m an endurance guy due to a knee issue I won’t test the envelope. Even so bridging efforts at vo 2 max are the same. I can achieve 500 watt sprint efforts on either platform. Perhaps...

Lol noddy goes to town. I’ve climbed back up to retrieve a flag...... dubious...and to retrieve an iPod worthwhile. But I’ve left behind a couple of visors and clear glasses.
