I would take one if available thanks.

Incredible work!

I love the tan sidewalls and will be going that way myself. My frame arrived today still plenty of bits to get though so the build be a little while yet.

Yeah same for me not in a rush thankfully.

I’m really looking forwards to finding out they sound great fun. I’ll have to be a little patient though while I get everything together. Not sure which fork to go for will be keeping an eye out for any bargains over the coming weeks.

Late to the party, but just pushed the button on a white Big Al just need all the other bits now! Don’t really need it but I’ve never had a hard tail so why not.

There are span tables if you really want to be certain.

I just went for this…

I’m sure there are other options, but this has worked for me.

Love mine I’m 6ft and ride a large.

I have the Rapha Core Cargo Bib shorts which were half the price however they don’t seem to be available anymore which is a shame because I really rate them.

If you get stuck fire it over and I’ll model it for you when I’m in work tomorrow.

Cheers guys really enjoyed putting an effort down again. hope I didn’t slow us down too much! Couple of weeks and I’ll be back up to speed and perhaps I’ll be able to contribute again.

I’m down on power quite a bit since I last rode with you guys so I’m expecting this to be grim! I’ll do my best and I’m sure I’ll know pretty early on if I’ve bitten of a bit too much too soon, only one way to get fit again though right?! Think the toughest bit for me will be passing any teams and if we catch any back to back!! Those surges hurt when I was fitter never mind now.

Just to say I’m definitely only in on STW team 2, I realise I’m late to the party so happy to duck out if 2 squad is over subscribed with others who have posted before me. Eventually I hope I can get back to the 1st team, but i’ll get spat instantly on current form even with phil/ brian towing me all the way round haha

Im in also 14 now.

Hi TTTers think i’m almost ready to get back on it with Zwift. Apologies for my absence I did my usual thing of getting really fit (for me) and then loosing all motivation to go anyway near my bike. Need to get myself back up to speed for a few weeks first and then I’ll chuck my hat in the ring. Looking forward to it as the tts/Phil’s encouragement definitely got me fitter than anything else I’ve done before.

I don’t think I’ll make the TTT tonight. Ive been really struggling with fatigue last few weeks and I very much doubt I’d get round. I’m not sure what’s going on, I was put it down to the fact my kids are refusing to sleep at the moment, but the numbers have really taken a nose dive. Its a shame because a few weeks back I was producing the best number I ever have and was feeling really strong.

Ive only managed 30 mins turbo since last weeks TT and I found last week a real struggle, so I’ll only be in even worse shape this week I expect!

Really sorry to be a let down I’ll try and get my act together and get back on form for next week.

I’m in for the TTT

Perhaps it was due to my miserly numbers but I didn’t notice any difference in my power particularly when I swapped between the flow and Kickr core a couple of months ago. What I did notice was the massively improved responsivness and feel. It no longer felt like riding in treacle. In races putting the power down produces a quicker response on screen and not the lag of the flow. Obviously all setups are slightly different but thats been my experience since making the switch. If I did loose power then I’d be happy to take it just for the improved experience and “enjoyment”…oh and no longer worrying about waking the kids due to the din of the wheel on.

Thanks for the offer Kelvin bit late for me plus I think a morale boosting grit race might do me good psycologically haha!

Thats absolutely fine Phil have a good un and hopefully be back to normal next week.

I was planning on doing the TTT although i’ve not been feeling great since last week and power is not where it has been. I think lack of sleep due to insomniac baby and toddler is catching up with me. If there was a bigger group I was going to try and hide and get round as well as possible. If you guys want to take up kelvins offer thats fine by me i’ll just look for a race or something to get my Thursday fix of pain…the though of being on my own with you two watt monsters is daunting to say the least haha!!

So it sounds like what we’re saying is I wasn’t crap zwift was to blame excellent i’ll take that haha.

I should have followed your lead Ivan just didn’t have the legs tonight found it much harder than usual. Good ride everyone thanks for organising Adam.

Im in for TTT, with one thing or another not managed to get on the bike for just over a week so this may hurt even more than usual haha!

High guys think I’m going to join the outside ride club and swerve tonights TT also.

Dangeourbrain Ah yeah that makes sense pesky A’s….just had that email myself, if i can get home in time i’ll have a go just out of curiosity if nothing else.

Cheers savoyad, signed up.

Ive done a couple of anti-sandbagger grits. The first one it seemed to have quite a big affect and conned riders dropped off the group quickly, but the last one i did it seemed to make no difference and the conned riders just rode round with us all the way to the finish and won so not sure if they’re still trying to get it working properly.

TP that sounds like Zwift results which are a nonsense, Zwift power is the only place to see what’s actually going on. Also you have to be aware within the race who you are racing gotta let those sandbaggers go up the road and find the real group where the race is. Granted sometimes people get away and manage to hang onto a faster rider and sneak under the cat limit but generally works, Ive managed 7 podiums in last 10 or so races.

Last night was brutal, I was on the rivet throughout and i loved every moment. I tried my best to do a couple of turns on the front to at least feel liked i had contributed, and even had a nose bleed and an FTP increase! So all in all a successful evening session in my book :)

The Zwift community live channel will stream it on twitch i think Ivan,
Ive not submitted a bio thing as yet Zilog like you no idea what to say ha

Looking forward to the TTT later. shame you won’t make it dangeourbrain all good we have weeksy the super sub :) are we off first? looks like it on the WTRL site no pressure then haha!

Thats a great result, I’m definatly up for having another go. I was worried I’d slow you all up but just about had enough to hang with and get through last time!

Yeah thanks lads had to go pretty deep to hang in there but really enjoyed it. Still getting used to discord though

Has anyone got a link to the discord for the ttt cheers

Unfortunately I’m also having to bow out crossed wires with the better half have a good one!

Thanks Savoyad entered stw added will get discord sorted shortly

If there’s room I’d been keen to join the TTT fun..if there’s no space no worries though.

Kelvin, I’ve just upgraded from a tacx flow to a wahoo refurbished kickr core on Friday. I wasn’t looking for refurbished but I’d been keeping my eye on all direct drive turbos particularly the elite direto x and the core. Obviously there’s been slim pickings for weeks and couldn’t believe it when one was showing in stock on the wahoo site. So far massively impressed it’s like night and day to the tacx. As for power loss I’ve not seen anything different in terms of numbers, in fact I just got 2nd(ZP) in the 17.05 3R tick tock flat race. So if you can get hold of one go for it I’m really glad I did.

Just wanted to echo that if you do go down the bike fit route Matt at crimson is excellent and a really nice guy to boot.
