You definitely notice the weight on the bars and if you’re doing a lot of climbing – the pads get in the way of using the tops.Personally – if its just that small fraction you plan to use them for – then I’d not bother. You should be on the bars a lot more than that really.
I’ve done IMFR and a lot of pros just used road bikes with spinacis on to get the best of both worlds.
2099 sounds about right – but
2099 sounds about right – but what PSI and weight are you ? If its low – then surely that would reduce the figure and increase your milage ?I’d put in a silly figure – half or double it to see if that is where the reading is being calculated.
Strava is accurate for me – it always compares well to my Garmin anyway.
So I’d go with that in future.

turbo sessions shouldn’t contribute to your yearly total! ;)This is quite literally the strangest cycling ‘rule’ of all time. Freewheeling down a big hill counts towards your yearly total, but an hour at FTP doesn’t?
Not that strange. I just record it as a session – but its not miles.
I could set the resistance down low and generate lots of junk miles. Its a great training session – but its different to miles. usually better in fact – so keep the two seperate.

As opposed to throwing them away ? Yes.Not all tubs can be fixed apparently.

its awesome.Use their plans too.
Sure you can. First take off
Sure you can. First take off the tub. Then the backing fabric. Then cut the stitches to get into the tub. Then make the seal. Then sew it back up. Then put the fabric back on. Then stick the tub back on.Basically tubs are a pain. I used to ride them back in the day – we’d just take a spare tub out with us – but normal tyres have worked out so much better for me. There’s nothing like having £120’s worth of punctures on one ride to go back to normal tyres.
If you are racing and you flat then it’s usually game over. You just need a means of fixing it to get back to HQ.
Wiggle have the womens
Wiggle have the womens version of the 4 for just £28. I wonder what the fit is like for a bloke ? You can buy two for the price of the 5.+1 for Trainerroad.

Dude – at 200lbs it’s pointless to only want a light saddle. Comfort is key.Try a heavy saddle. You won’t be able to feel any difference in the weight of the bike.

I’ve got a PT as a training wheel. I use it on the turbo as that’s where I get my best sessions. It’s hard to ride to power on most of my outdoor rides.If you look at trainerroad – you can train to virtual power on there from most turbos. All you need is a laptop and an ant+ stick. So you can use any wheel / tyre. Maybe you want to check occasionally that virtual and real power is similar.
Then all you need is one race wheel ?
I just throw a cover on my wheel for the races I do.

It’s better to just not be a dick about it. If you’re riding two up and someone can’t get past – single out and wave them past when safe.If you’re riding solo and someone can’t get past – then think about pulling over and letting them past.
If you’re out cycling – you’d not want to get held up for miles by a tractor would you ?

Very odd. I’d ask around the local area and cycling clubs – have they come off on the same road ? Maybe even put a sign up at the area ?If nobody else has come off then it must be a freak incident ?
If a few have come off – then you might have a case and there might be people willing to take this up with the council. Presumably they can test for slip rating ?
Have you been back to check the road ?Your history of riding should tell you that falls like this are very rare.
