Ordered some Vittoria Corsa Speed (open TLR) tubes, not sure I have the nerve to run them untested at Sebring; but boy they sound promising; I just might do it.. Also officially changed my ride to the 12 hour ride. I will be running support of Pluckyblond for the out and back; and then I will...

So today was my last day to make a strategic change. I want to make a watts plan for the 12 hour ride. But there is always a discrepancy between Power Meter Power and Kickr Power. Typically Kickr Power reads about 10 watts higher than Power Meter Power but unfortunately it not linear so you...

The ride was strategically scheduled as a wake up call for long hours if you put out too much power. It's equivalent to riding 6 hours at too high a power output and then fading. Something you don't want to do at Sebring if you are riding the 12 hour, for the hundred milers it's a warning not to...

As yaw increase discs are more stable. When you think about wheel aero dynamics; there is the Leading-Leading edge aka the tire, then a hole with spokes; then the Trailing-Leading aka the inside edge of the rim at the back. The way the wind hits the two edges can create a wing like effect that...

That's because their stupid link to "Adapters and Accessories" takes you to a useless list unless you know the part numbers. I see stuff like that and it just convinces me that people in marketing and website creation have no concept of how to make money and provide a good customer experience...

Odd I didn't have that problem on the Quest v1,v2, and v3; I put item 3 on the front, and item 2 on the back. So you think my pads are not fully engaged?

Public service announcement; this is the cheapest ($400 less) that I have seen SRAM E-tap to-date; and this is the medium cage wifli version: https://www.raceviewcycles.com/sram-red-etap-wifli-electronic-wireless-groupset?language=en&currency=USD In all likely hood SRAM will make them raise the...

You are correct; I see now they have dropped the rotors and adapters; those use to be included. But then the price was higher. That's good for people with existing parts and who are already up to speed; but man that sucks for people just learning. To boot they made them really hard to find on...

Flat Mount http://www.trpbrakes.com/category.php?productid=1273&catid=206&subcat=0 Traditional http://www.trpbrakes.com/category.php?productid=1199&catid=206&subcat=0 Both should come with brackets that are appropriate. Which one does yours look like?

That's the new "flat mount standard" designed to reduce the aero impact. I don't think anyone makes adapters at this time.

Hah as you un-official backup I have a vested interested in you not getting injured or burned out before the race.

Well definitely interesting so far for those that have measured. Since it's hard to measure to the dead center of the BB seeing +- 5 mm accuracy was better than I had hoped for. I was orginally looking for a "beginners" recommendation I'm now a week in; and I have noticed 4 things: 1) I'm...

Yikes I driven that in a car on the "good" roads albeit in the winter. You guys will have you hands full but if I recall that's a lot of nice scenery to distract you from the vibrations.

Anti Over Training Deterrents.... Or if you prefer; you never know when the wind is going to betray you.

Opps sorry I really didn't answer that one question Any 40k TT plan or sustained power plan will contain the workouts your want. Your mental aversion to training or admitting that what you do is interval traing mister hill repeat guy.....is why you'd be suited for the low volume plan. With...

Well so...... The workouts in Zwift are getting better. What you are seeing is that SweetSpot training is in vogue; it's the best bang for the buck time wise; the theory being that you can get 85-90% of the quality gains from sweet spot and you can do sweet pot workouts 3 - 5 times a week...

Time for awind-cheetah

The penalty for bad planning... having to show up and race on the hypothetical v20 trike......

Down hill at 12% for more than 1000 yards with a T intersection on to a busy road at the bottom will change your mind as your RIM brakes start to dramatically fade. Aka depends on where you live and ride. Basically if you need disc brakes then you will likely know it; if you don't need them...

Finished up the first two days of getting back at it. Mentally ride #2 of the first week after rest week is the hardest; Physically you feel like it's no big deal but the brain is busy going; really do we need to get back at this? sleep would be so much better. So of course the plan a nice kill...
