Yeah I do this now - An extra pound of tools can help a lot. If you don't have a lot of steep climbing you will not even notice the weight - and think of the shoe savings!

sent you a PM Doby

With all this, there is no excuse for you getting in 4+ W/Kg range - :D:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I had some Zwift issue and it would not let me join the event even though I was registered. I kept trying to click "join event" button, but it just would not take me there. I quit Zwift and restarted it, but I guess it does not let you join once it has officially started, even though we had a 9...

Yes - he is an expert CF craftsman - He had builds the molds for everything he builds. I have have owned just about every bent he has ever build. He has built many rear-wheel drive ones. Only to FWD to my knowledge. I still have 2 RWD: Arrowhead, and Raptor.

Signed up yesterday!

Week #6 Cruzbike 2020 TT results and stats: Hi Everyone - again! Is it just me, or does time just pass faster in the summer! :) Another fantastic week by everyone! This week we had a total of 48 riders! We welcome 1 new rider this week - WowGill Shiltutt down in Washington NC Some Stats: Most...

Haha Ben - Yeah - that is why I need a Trike - so I cannot fall over in my zeal for speed at my old age! :rolleyes: This is my proto-type "Magic" by John Morciglio. I just finished building it up this weekend. Of course an extra wheel and the rear end add significantly to the weight! I...

Well said Dave - It is really amazing how hard you can push yourself! It has taken me about a month to remember how to push myself have again. Stopping my riding 160 miles a day and staring on High Intensity workouts has also helped. I came dangerously close to 4 W/Kg this morning riding the...

Thanks Dave - It will take a little extra time to re-calc weeks #4 & #5, but not too big of a deal. Actually all I have to do is re-sort week #4 and get the points and places correct again, then I think week #5 should recalc itself using final point counts from new week #4.

Pretty amazing Bill - what kind of speed delta are you seeing with these mods? Do you notice any steering issues when big trucks pass?

Hi All, As Marco noted in this previous post- I have developed a method to allow anyone to change your route (or bike type) during the challenge. Ideally you should have a power meter - but minimally you must have a HR monitor. The process: Your current PB on your old route must have at least an...

I intend to go, just have not signed up yet.

Neal - You should be able to find a Q-ring for a 130 setup. Unless you damaged your crank, you will not need to replace it. Usually you would have Q-ring inner and out, but trufully the inner is so small there is not much ovality to it. I have a 52 Q-ring (have had it for 5 years) - love it. It...

Great video Rob! - Loving these videos - wish we could see what everyone is experiencing!

Cruzbike 2020 TT Results - week #5 Hi Everyone! Another fantastic week by everyone! This week we had a total to 54 riders! Some Stats: Most improved over PB: Congrats to Ben Gesch who for the 2nd week beat his previous PB: by 105 seconds this week! Points Podium: 1st - Neal Brooks: 195 2rd -...

How interesting - that your comfortable RPM is now lower. But, yes it is true - A lower RPM gives your legs "more" to push against so it "seems" easier to push more power that way (kind of like climbing a hill allowing you to push more power), then spinning at higher RPM. The low RPM works...

I went out and rode my TT route this morning at 6am and shot this video. I am not nearly as powerful or fast at Marco so probably not as much fun to watch :eek:, but at least you see what I see (and deal with) every week: I do have a 360 camera packed away somewhere - I'll try and find it for...

Amazing Video Marco!!! - You mostly costing around all those roundabouts (for nearly 1 min total) makes your 300 avg watts for your ride even more impressive! Congrats my friend. I was thinking of video one of my ride soon too. Would love videos from anyone else. Great entertainment!

There is obviously a balance there. It is really hard to maintain anything over 100rpm unless you ride like that all the time and adjust to it. I am convinced you can eventually adapt and become more efficient in that higher range and eventually push yourself harder.
