On my "Frankenstein" bike (Vendetta front end, Thom Ollinger's proto-type rear end, with Kent Polk's M5 seat (nearly flat), and my stubby handlabars) , during my 100 mile record, I was able to go 25mph on about 150watts, but it was sure hard to make that 150watts laying flat. Looking at that...

Hey all, Now I am not seeing double again I can at least type - a little - now if I can only get the feeling back in my left fingers I can hit he correct keys and stop having to hit backspace so much. .. Small excerpt of what I posted on my Strava details -= I will do a longer write-up later...

Week 2 results. Sorry for the delay - I forgot how daunting preparing for a 24-hour attempt was. I truly believe it is more work planning and packing than the actual riding. No wonder Jim likes Centuries better! Go Jim. And now for the results: 8 People rode last week, and there were 7 new PB's...

Just get a used set of "long" Sram Apex cranks, and drill and tap them to the length you want, then cut off the excess. That is all I have ever done. No need to go the expensive CF route. You will probably be lighter than a normal CF set after you cut off the extra length.

Full disclaimer: I have also moved my cleat to mid-sole, ride XQL Q-rings in pos #1. I think it helps the angle a little, but I mostly like it because the center of pressure is no longer on the ball of my foot (which usually leads to hot foot for ultra cycling distances). I am going to try and...

Great data Alexis. From your graphs and your video, it appears to me that your knee is bending at least 70 degrees on your back stoke. You also appear to be fully extended, so you can't really push the boom out at all or you would be hyper-extending you knee. This means to me that you are a...

Results from week #1: The following people successfully rode the week1 Tt at full speed and set their PB on their course(s) of choice. Per the rules - everyone gets 1 point. We are all tied. Cliff Federspiel - 1 Jim Finger - 1 Ken Holzhausen- 1 Larry Oslund- 1 Jim Parker- 1 Maria Parker- 1 Rob...

OK everyone! This is week #1 of the Winter TT Challenge. Sponsored by our favorite bike maker: Cruzbike - I'm trying to talk them into giving the winner an S40 frameset! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: - We shall see what they come up with! haha All joking aside - yes - this...

Whatever you need to do Jason - good practice for you to learn another discipline! Going all out TT for 15 miles without having to climb a mountain. I imagine for you - shoot to average FTP+10% for this short of a TT. Put your Garmin on your bike with a screen display showing avg power for lap...

I wouldn't worry about it Robert. At least you can ride the Zwift Watopia Laps now anytime you need to for the challenge. Eventually we will figure out how to get Zwift to report your watts in the Strava upload. All we really need is your time anyway. It's just nice to have the watts to see how...

If you don't like the "world hack", you can just take a look at the Zwift calendar and plan when to do your ride. https://zwiftinsider.com/schedule/ For some reason I am not allowed to upload photos any longer on this forum, or I would post a screenshot of the Jan 2019 schedule. They are...

Come on all you Cruzbike-Zwift enthusiasts: email me and sign up for the Cruzbike Winter TT Challenge: https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/winter-cruzbike-virtual-time-trial-challenge.12754/#post-151459

Great idea Jason - of course a quick look at the data would reveal even that neat hack, cause nobody is that perfect. In reality the person who is best poised to win something like this comes into the challenge 'totally out of riding shape", i.e there first TT is so bad they are embarrassed to...

I am not sure what you are asking me to do: Link my Watopia Stava segment. For me, the 2laps-Watopia segment was a "hidden segment", which means you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of all the segments (after you are sure you did a ride that was 2 laps) - There is a button called...

You can use any course you want - just needs to add up to about 15 miles.

That might work, but the true proof of better "fitness" is a better watts/Kg ratio, which would require everyone to have both power and HR for each ride. (This is exactly what Zwift uses to tell your virtual bike how fast it can go based on the terrain you are on) If you go just by HR, with...

Harry - clearly you did not read the fine print rules for starting a thread like this. You are contractually obligated to go since you started it - Tell the "thing in NY it will have to change its date - Sorry! ;)

Hello fellow Cruzbike tribe members. If you are not riding the Blue Ridge Parkway for 3000 Miles to a Cure this coming May, I ask you to consider donating towards my fundraising goal. Here is the link to my donation page: https://fundraisers.hakuapp.com/lawren-oslund Also consider this your...

Here is a nice Zwift Insider link that explains how to set your world to Watopia (or any world you want) https://zwiftinsider.com/world-tag/

I hope are kidding, but hard to tell since you did not through up a little smiley or anything! :rolleyes: Sure - You could probably do it (sandbag) and even keep it from me and the group, but you would have to strategically sandbag less and less each week to get good points, and without knowing...
