Larry thanks for posting your epic ride videos. I confess to watching them avidly. Incredible really. Mate I won’t need a car to drive I’ll be riding with you on mint vintage vendettas. Mate maybe it might just happen. I plan on retiring in four short years. To ride a Sebring type event with...

Osiris whatever you choose it will make you faster. Enjoy that free speed. It’s a fantastic buzz. 1 x systems allow another design element and are gravel bike/ cross certainty. BB freedom lol We are so lucky I think to have such great variety of choice as I look askance at my venerable 3 x 7...

Setting your Garmin like that will inflate your average power. You count the zeroes for power average as above. So that when you stop pedalling your power avg goes down quickly. Seems cruel I know lol. Hence the advent of weighted avg power to make us feel better about our chicken legs and...

David I use radar too and would now not ride without it. Safety measures what price. It’s weakness is 7 hr battery life though it can be extended with an add on bank. You do get a visual cue as to relative speed red being a high speed pass but no actual speed representation. Plenty reviews on...

Yes whilst the range is there the gaps are bigger. Looks good too if aesthetics matter but overall practicality is compromised. Opinionated 2 x bias

I reckon the primary difference to riding on road compared to trainer is the variable inputs and upper body involvement. That means the old posterior gets a bit more of an active shake n bake on. And well if you hit a pothole repair or not you get a free spine alignment and vision check along...

Yes definitely wait. Differences are manifest and I suspect particular to individual. Time spent in the saddle helps too. It’s amazing what you can get acclimated to just look at the crazies on dfs lol. Hot foot issues . I get them with cycling sandals over three hours. But cycling shoes...

Note that when recording your metrics for power zeroes ie pedal out downhill they are counted in your avg power numbers . With cadence the zeroes are not counted. Note that on the Garmin edge devices I have used you have the option to count or not count the zeroes for these two metrics. However...

Gore wear shell jacket. Expensive but.....works packs small and fitment is ok on bent.

Bazz mate if you are able and do ride to work then you are motivated full stop You are lucky to be able to commute and thoroughly motivated to do so. I congratulate you and am slightly jealous in truth. Now as for deriving greater benefits..........mental or physical well that’s a square root...

Jim “ I was too busy directing the success” “I got locked out of the breakaway “ “ I ran the sacrifice play. “

Yes welcome and congratulations on a great bike. I reckon and recommend no matter your experience doing ratz,s drills / skill acquisition as mandatory to help your cycling safely including low speed hill climbing. The nuances of the bike are rewarding. And fast. Enjoy.

This is what happens when cycling is not fun but taken too seriously. What a silly way to behave. Strava brings out the worst in some but also the best.

Barry that’s why I stick to the power tap hubs. Proven and protected. I have two one in a training wheel and one in an enve wheel. Changed out bearings myself on training wheel. Must have 50k on hub at least. On third rim.

recently made aware of twenty or so comments discussing my cycling on the local roads. I ride a local residential loop as my main road to from is not suitable and too risky. The comments range from nasty to suggestions of my imminent death to get a flag. Bit disappointing as most people are...

No heard that distant hare joke already. Lol. Bald is ..........

Sadly I’m no longer Klingon. Just bald but look at that ear hair grow.

Slim I don’t grow head hair. Exceptions being ears and nose. I hear rarely any original baldilocks jokes these days. That’s an invitation. Now the Klingon look doth fade.

Oh yeah the bike ride got me a half hour kom with training wheels wind assisted . Klingon speed no df can. Lol
