    Bike Sebring 2018

    So question for Kyle @Barefoot Biker : the flashing rear radar system you are using... why did you decide to ride with it? Does it tell you how fast another rider is coming up on you?

    Bike Sebring 2018

    Hey @LarryOz ... that was a pretty small gap at 40kph and it looked like you didn't brake. I enjoyed the video... it appears you can save 30 watts when drafting another Vendetta. If there is fog... I think it's important for a front light. It looks like the other vendetta riders following some...

    Lightweight sprocket cassette for S40

    I have the shimano dura ace 12-28 and it has titanium sprockets (but not all sprockets are titanium). I bought it off eBay for last year's Sebring and yes... it did seem expensive but I wanted to feel good. But if you haven't got ceramic Bottom Bracket I would spend the money on that first. If...

    Holy crap. Not for the faint hearted. I'm pleased you didn't roll up with disc front and back. Ken ... I have to give you kudos. You did ever so well.

    It's raining

    Well it doesn't get my mobile phone wet. I've only been in one really bad lot of rain... there was a flood of a couple of inches running down the road. I would say it's waterproof enough for me

    It's raining

    I just use https://www.decathlon.co.uk/500-ultralight-windproof-cycling-jacket-white-id_8283388.html It's light and folds small. If the sun comes out , it comes off and then I hide it under my jacket. It's got vents under the arms and at the back. It's so good I take it travelling. If you want...

    Ouch

    Well oddly enough all my falls have been on the left side. Not sure what that means. I wonder if statistically that is common amongst cyclists? So when I get this crank arm power meter... it's going on the right side :rolleyes: After watching Phil Gaimon's efforts, this year will be big hill...

    Yep. The hills will blow the cobwebs away for sure... love the acceleration and all those chasing you go smaller and smaller

    Little tweaks

    Ok... revelation time Old on the left... new on the right. Right is considerably lighter, more aero and better fit (and cheaper). If you are in Decathlon... try a pair. They are the Btwin 900 Chaussures velo 900 noir. It should be interesting how many watts saved with one shoe size. When...

    Ouch

    It's embarrssing to say but sometime. Once in a royal blue moon I would be clipped in and I would forget my centre of balance just for a moment and I would keel over. Just remember to relax and let the handlebar take the impact. Novices usually ding their elbows and knees. (I am still a...

    I've done the superman impression on a DF. It wasn't going on a descent balancing on the seat going 90kph but going head first over the handlebars to avoid a dog shooting out in front of me as I was sprinting. I landed on my rib cage. It's agony for 3 months. You have my sympathies

    Hey @nobrakes ... really sorry to read about your plight. It could have been worse. It could have happened if you were riding a DF. At least you didn't brake your bones. It's a great idea to have an aluminum handlebar too. It doesn't crack... a few grazes can be covered up. I've had a blowout on...
