44T fitted and quiet/smooth 🙂

Lets see what happens

I have a 110 boost axle with thread i’ve got no use at all for.

I’m doing the big boys race tonight. 18:30 BRT race against the big hitters in C.

Depends what you class as a Pittance i guess. My PArkwood was £800 new and has done anything and everything i’ve thrown at it.

My T-130 was £900 and has been the greatest bike on the planet… I love it….

Both are exceptionally cheap IMO.

DHB for me… even with flats… they work find.

EEeeek. Don’t die on us mate !

Shut the front door…

My mate who’s coming down to BPW on the 3rd lives close to that too 😉

The problem with sitting in the group near the back is missing splits, you miss it and it’s all done, game set and match.

It’s a tricky one to know due to things like 1s power display v 3s display etc, you if it’s reading one of your peaks on a 3s display incremental does it give you that peak for the 3s or does it not? So if you surge the power with an ease/kick does it actually give more power, or just the perception of it?

It would be interesting to know the…[Read more]

what your suggesting sounds a bit like exploitation of the ant+ sticky bug

I thought it was just flywheel momentum, think of then you leave the line, you hit 400w quickly due to the torque. Is it not that in effect?
Maybe that’s what people do, or it seems that way. It’s impossible for me at the front of a C race as if I ease off I’m getting…[Read more]

Thinking about it tho, and following weeksy’s post ^^, losing another 5kg would be more beneficial on zwift than getting stronger. Let’s face of it, most of us could lose a bit of timber without it making us any less good at turning pedals.

I guess that depends really on what courses… The strongest Cs who win the most races for example are…[Read more]

I did get an uptick to 231 FTP (from 227 but down from 246 in Feb) which I was feeling good about until I saw Weeksy’s post

I can’t push my figures like that uphill though matey…. I’m a one-trick Pony… Think of me as the Cancellara of C Zwift. Flat power, great… anything else…. rubbish.

My experience with Parcel Force has been about as useful this week

no chance as we go away for 3-4 days of it.

Hmmm there’s a question Tom… any decent performances seem lucky to me at times LOL. I guess in a cycling perofrmance context i’m quite pessimistic which isn’t a normal part of my life. But i still think that one the other week was too high. For example my 1min power was 4.6w/kg… Which is over 400w. I just cannot do that day to day. No…[Read more]

Tried them in a 2.3-4 i think… Hated both. Felt skittery, out of control and lacking in grip.

Pretty much gave them away on here… Rubbish rubbish things.

Well done weeksy, presuming Zwift gave you 282W as 95% of your best 20mins, 297W for 20mins is no mean feat!

Yup. It’s a good figure and if I were 10kg less I’d be a decent racer lol. Sadly being a baby elephant means I’m just a decent C.

I could do with a decent points score though so Weds evening I’m racing with the fast C’s in the BRT TT…[Read more]

I have all the kit and I’m rubbish, god only knows how bad I’d be without it?!?

well i had the argument to settle with myself and the Tempus Fugit TT course today. Mrs Weeksy is cooking lamb so no time like the present. Plan was, going off hard and hanging on.

Split 1, 309w
Split 2, 295w
Split 3, 265w
Split 4, 271w

End of race, got an FTP increase from 275w to 282w. Not sure where it will put me in the results, but there…[Read more]
