Great report. I trained almost all last year to work on breaking 30 miles for a 1 HR TT. Sure you have to develop a high level of fitness and endurance, both muscular and respiratory elements, but the other "huge" component is mental toughness. That is: the ability to suffer and keep on...

Sorry guys, all those day and times I am generally at a church function. I pretty much only ride from 5-7am (longer on Sat) if I can't ride outside. I work during the day - 8-5'sh, and am usually busy most evening. Sorry. ... Trplay - Not that I don't think it would be a good idea for all of us...

Can you spell: "condom catheter" - It ain't fun to take off, but sure helps with pee stops! Plus if you really want to irritate someone obnoxious, you can aim the hose at there tire while you "pass" them! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Jeffrey - you make me smile BIG! You've got the "need more" speed bug bad! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I smile because I resemble that remark. Haha I am sorry to sorry, although I have tested hundreds of items, that I have not tested the Thor seat. I actually purchased...

Yes, there should be a segment volcano Flat - 2laps or something similar. Oddly, some people don't pick up that segment even though they do laps, others get other segments. It has been hard to keep them straight with each person. The one you end up picking up on your ride we will try and use. I...

Rojo - I can do a screen capture, but the forum app will not let me upload it. Not sure why it is not allowing me not to. I actually thought no-one could do it, but now that we see you can do it, I will look into it a little deeper. Since you can do it, why don't you capture the "week4" section...

Results thru Week #4 of our Winter TT Series. Way to go - all 9 participants road this last week. Maximum point available. Jim Parker gets the top honors by beating his personal best by 71 seconds. Way to go Jim! He was not the only one who set PB's this week. There were 6 total new PB's. Here...

I basically bought John's prot0-type (which up until this year was the only model in existence) and it came with that handlebar and no offer to build a replacement. I think it just happens to be magic with my size and shape in the seat. :rolleyes:

The only place I have found consistent results is on a closed loop with no vehicle traffic. I have 2 such tracks that I am lucky to have access to here where I live. Wind is always an issue no matter where you test, but if your sample is large enough and conditions are not changing it works...

I have done extensive testing with many different handlebars and hand position on the Vendetta. Unfortunately the Arrowheads handlebar is a one piece CF setup all the way back to the headset. I can't even change the angle. I would have to fabricate an entirely new one that lends itself to moving...

My faster bike (Arrowhead), my gunner grips are pointed up and way up in the air compared to anything else I ride. (Very similar to the photo of Phil.) I does make it even harder to see, since you have to look "through" the gunner and your hands to see the road. So it makes it more dangerous...

If you don't really think you would need the 50x9, then just go for a smaller large ring: 46 or 48 - You are correct, I think the xD is for a 1X system. If you pick the correct single large ring you might not need 2 rings up front. See what the steepest hill you need to climb and see what is...

Like someone said earlier, one change ripples through and changes everything. For what it is worth, I experimented with a 650 wheel also and found that I was less aero even though my head was lower. I think the taller of a person you are, the more possible benefit there might be for you, but you...

Ken, We should use the original segment that we rode in week0 & week1. I applied the wrong segment to you but have corrected it. I am not sure who created the Cruzbike segment for 2lap Watopia and do not care who uses it, but be warned it starts a good ways back from the "Arch" so if you are not...

Results from week #3 of the Winter TT series: (updated 2019-02-15) Only 6 of us rode this week, and no one set a personal best: Since I cannot upload a nice picture of my Spreadsheet results yet into this thread, I will just give abbreviated results: Name , place this week...

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...
