    Little tweaks

    I decided to ride today without water. I rode quite fast for 53 minutes and got caught at one traffic light. I was riding with a tri-suit and wanted to feel what it was like when fully soaked, I was also riding without gloves as I wanted to feel the new bar tape that looks completely out of...

    Power to the pedal

    I kid you not... https://www.backinaction.co.uk/mbt It's a Masai shoe. I guess if you extended the middle out and put the cleat in the Centre then this would be more aero or why not use the existing shoe with a cover then if you need to walk you just remove the cover?

    Bottom Bracket Suggestions?

    I decided not to put loctite on as I might sell the bike next year... It's something I monitor consistently with the state of my rims as I clean the bike down after a ride.

    Your Max Speed on a Cruzbike

    Yesterday I had quite a good ride, the weather was cooler than usual and not so much wind. There was a very interesting cloud formation too... You don't often appreciate those things on a DF. I overtook a number of riders going up a 2% gradient. There was one guy 100m in front practicing with...

    Emmitt Smith Grand Fondo Century on 9/17/2016 - Results

    Well I found this but you have to wait for everyone to finish. Can't believe a $10k event hasn't got a leaderboard. All those punters could have had a gamble. Anyways... Good luck Larry...

    Heads up; Flo Wheels are back in stock

    The bike bling fund ... I luv it. The good thing about training is you are only beating your PB and you don't need new gear. If you live up in the mountains then I could understand changing everything in order to do the "Perez" thing. Guess I triple the bike budget next year and forget about...

    Just relived Jason's epic. Guess everyone will want to go with hydraulic brakes after that!

    White Mountain Double Century and Final Race for the CA Triple Crown Stage Race

    Great write up. Loved the play with the word "crown". Guess Derek is pretty sore after that ride! Why not go pro and go after some race money and sponsorship? Clearly you have your heart in the right place and have enough zest to manifest your dreams. More and more people are riding, I can...

    White Mountain Double Century and Final Race for the CA Triple Crown Stage Race

    Love the sense of humor. Naaaaa seriously, "quite" in your text should be "quiet". I thought it was a good read.

    Your Max Speed on a Cruzbike

    60.3 kph today ... Down a relatively small hill. I just wonder what a great big hill would be like.

    Little tweaks

    "It's in the bag" The 60kph limit achieved. Bit surprised as there was a lot of side wind and cars so I didn't stick the power down until towards the end. In February I thought it impossible to break the 53kph barrier. It just didn't want to budge. The biggest change for me this year is...

    Little tweaks

    Telephd, I looked up the description on Amazon and KMC say the 10spd is reusable but the 11spd not. So... I will wait until I get the 11 speed SRAM drivechain (probably next year). The SRAM missing link can just be pressed together and bingo the chain comes apart. I know some riders have...

    Early Days

    I have a V20 and if I hit gravel I sit upright pretty quickly. The Cruzbike really gives you a total body workout. Bienvenido

    Little tweaks

    So the rear bottle cage has moved up So a step in the right direction. Now another look at the front of the bike... I have lost so much weight I can comfortably get rid of this spacer, I am amazed that this hasn't been done before. Now if I can get down that hill faster than 60kph ... I...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    There's not much more you could have done. Perhaps put the trainer in a pressurization chamber and trained at altitude. That would give you your max wattage. The actual size of you changes the airflow dramatically. Even with less watts you are still faster. (I am assuming of course that you...

    All the best, I know a champ when I see one. They pick themselves up... Brush themselves down, get back on and still win.

    Falling over

    I have a carbon clincher deep rim which isn't tubeless. It's beautifully made, I ride this with sealant in the inner tube. Even if it gives you a second or two before it deflates can be enough for a safe recovery. http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/deep-rims.10917/
