If your feet naturally stick out in a V shape you might be naturally flat footed like me. It's quite common to have wedges fitted to the cleats more so on the problem knee foot. But an ftp test is usually only 20 minutes. Before wedges I use to get knee issues for rides longer than an hour. Try...

Gee wizzz. My heart was with you Connie. I might just have to get that tv set after all. Is there a smart trainer out there that rocks so you can power up the hills in zwift? Being black Friday... I might be able to buy something on the cheap.

Ho Ho I did this with one of my bikes... it's pretty old. The drive chain is as quiet as a mouse until I put any power on it then the cassette slips ... The sprockets on the cassette are worn out. Slightly irritated as the plan was to sell the bike without having to update anything. So if you...

The inner tube filled with water is a twist on the usual way of stretching shoes. The usual way is a plastic zip bag you will up with water whilst in your shoe. You then secure the bag and put in the freezer. It should stretch any shoe. If you have carbon shoes they probably be expensive... I...

Ok... been riding for a bit. The shoes are a little tight so I filled an inner tube with water and pushed it into the shoe and put it into the freezer. Brilliant idea ... works a treat. Ok... so what do I like about these? They might not be the lightest but they do have quite a solid sole. I...

Birds of a feather flock together. The guy in the color lime ... not sure what it is... is it an encore? It sure doesn't suit that style of race. Definitely give a better result on total flat. I looked on the ride on Strava ... the elevation looked up and down like a yoyo. Thor forever...

The converted soccer shoes are brilliant. I thought that the retrofitz was too expensive. They use to be $50 but then they upped the price to $85 as demand got higher. You have to be brave to do it too. Make sure the shoes you select have a bottom thickness of less than 12mm. They aren't...

A couple of things. I have a great miracle healing ostiopath called Loren. Totally amazing. However the therapy hurts and it's deep into the shoulder tendons. I had the last treatment yesterday. I realized during the week I had Gorilla arms. If you loosely hang your arms straight down your...

Well those clever Germans have been at it again... ready for some solestar drool? Certainly should give you better Strava stats for all those KOM attempts.

I guess what would make a great improvement is a titanium shoe insert which was the shape of the bottom of your foot for each shoe. Then that would be good for racing as well.

Well the evenings are pulling in... and as I don't like riding at night, watching tv or twiddling my thumbs I get involved with little projects. There is a company that sells a product called retrofitz Http://www.retrofitz.com/ and they give you a kit to make any shoe into a cycling shoe. I...

Now that jason has got second. I will have to have that donut. :):cruzbike::D

Hey... it's the world's. 3rd is brilliant. Looking forward to see the podium finish Photo

If anyone needs a donut it's me. I decided to stay up and see this race thru. Come on Jason... I bet those legs are screaming but if anyone can get over it ... it's you.

Jason usually finished well... fingers crossed... he might get first

Had to put it up... just told to... enjoy

I think I will replace the water in the back with one of those small tin shape 360degree loudspeakers and have this blaring away on a loop back for my KOM attempts. That would have to take away the pain and replace it with awesome

Hey Jason, I sent you a message on your answer phone. Guess you had so many calls your mobile packed up! As I looked a few minutes ago Jason is 3rd with 306 miles. The other two in front of him are also 306 miles. Jason really wants that goal of 550+ miles. I don't think the guys in front...

Mighty fine peddling with 53/13 at 108 rpm. Not surprising 180+ BPM, so how windy was it that day?

How many times do you honk on your ride? Perhaps a small pressurized bottle down the downtube attached to a press to talk actuator could be good. I am thinking of similar technology used for blowing up tubeless tires. I like my handlebars to be clean so it would be good to fit it elsewhere. If i...
