First for GRANDE-Bretagne
LIPOWITZ WILL WIN
BIG things are happening down in Guacamole with multiple runners going on solo
does tudor get Hirschi's UCI points from this year?
What is a good wine to have with (pork) schnitzel?
>>144013681>schnitzel with wineatrocious post
Ayuso has a contract with UAE until 2028
>>144013681don't fall for the pairing meme, wine you enjoy goes well with what you like
>>144013698>>144013744I have decided on another green wine called "grooner bertlinger". It's amazing how far Yurope is ahead on wine technology and research...in America, we have only red, white, and rose wines.
Ride cut short today due to slow leak in my rear (tubeless) tire. Pumped up to 70 PSI this am, was at 20 PSI after only 40 minutes. I decided not to use my spare tube and instead just ride back and change tire. I had a big puncture a few weeks ago that sealed by obviously something still not right. There was still a bit of fresh sealant in the tire so not sure what the issue was.Anyway, I did mount my fresh out-of-box GP5000s in literally like two minutes
>>144012484>Are those grape plants on the right?There's lots of vineyards here in Rioja, yes :)
>>144013655I doubt they will introduce an option to buy UCI points off other teams. The new relegation system kind of went in the opposite direction.We'll see what Hirschi can do on Tudor. He's not so old that he's just there for retirement money.
>>144013760>>144013832Well now I crave a drink.Going to go with some nice chardonay I think.
ULISSI to ASTANA
>>144013681Grüne Veltliner
>>144013917now that's a UCI point merchant
>>144013051>>144013082they're classic top-20 riders which is what I'm getting at, they're not real bottom of the barrel material
>>144013832a lot of my dad's favorite wines are from there
>>144013284Museo knows there's something fishy
>>144014012wrong thread mi hermano
>>144013602Ok
>>144013832i like the beronia, what else is bueno (and barato) from there other than campo viejo
>>144014025>114 DEL TORO Isaac +35:55give him a break
You french supertalent Sam MAISONOBE wins stage 2 of the Grand Tour Cycliste International de la GuadeloupeAhead of Damiel INCEL and Axel TAILLANDIER
>>144013798Question: If you have a flat and fix it with your emergency kit, do you keep riding out into the hinterlands with no spare tube? Or do you say "whew, thank god I'm not stranded, I should head back asap"
Vuelta OFFICIAL GC /bet/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6V88KIIe20Is it really that bad in the U S A, when it comes to healthcare and insurances?
>>144014161>Roglic and O'Connor fans on a daily basis
>>144014171premiums through the roof and then they won't payout on a technicality. happens in most countries. I used to work in insurance and the lads sat across from me, technical claims department I think they were called, would spend the day calling people to tell them they weren't their payout that they thought their insurance covered.
>>144014161CarapazCOIN at an all time high
>>144014171Yes, this is exactly how it works. Insurance companies refuse to pay for anything despite obscene monthly premiums and 5-figure deductibles. They will force you to harass and harang them for everything, hoping that you give up and just pay because you're getting bills from collections and you're worried your credit will be hurt.
>>144014161Imagine betting on Mas winning a grand tour and only getting your money back 4.5 times. Cycling bets is even bigger scam than most other sports bets.
>>144014287even worse is someone like cepeda401 times your money before the racecould be 40100 and it still wouldn't be worth it
wtf I just looked at the rest of the vuelta parcoursare they trying to kill Mas after all these years of being dropped?
>>144014287fair odds. looks like the best climber. loads of climbing left. bookies say 1 in 5 chance. so 80% chance he doesn't win. reasonable.
>>144014076My favourites are Viña Real (by CVNE), Luis Cañas and Ramón Bilbao, although I've been disappointed lately by Ramón Bilbao.I don't know how hard to find those are in Canada.Women usually like Carbonic Maceration (Maceración Carbónica). It's a winemaking technique which is starting to be used around here. I always ask for one of those wines, regardless of the brand, when I'm on a date
>>144014218>>144014265It isn't the insurance companies trying to fuck you that shocks me the most (as you say, it is like that everywhere), but in the US everything seems to be on a different magnitude.How can a trip to the hospital (without fault on your own) set you back 50k, 100k, 250k, and then insurances companies telling you to fuck-off? Knowing full well this will utterly ruin you. I know we make a lot of fun of the US and stuff, but it just seems _too broken_ for me, I cannot fully wrap my mind around it.
>>144013917Are they laundering some Russian oil money or what.
god damn that ride i just took... was dropping multiple electric bikes with those massive tires like pic-related... few of them dropped me first to provoke it. so damn sunny and hot had to take off shirt and helmet
>>144014418>take off [...] helmetnot UCI legal, get outta here
>>144013832El Cotto is my go to red wine much love for Rioja
>>144014411people here know it's broken but it's so hard for most of them to envision anything different
>>144014415Chinese sponsor
>>144014411probably just gradually increased until it got to this stage and now it's gone way too far but the profits are insane. needs to be nuked but they have the money to prevent any reform.
>>144014411it's not like it's cheap here, it's just that medical coverage is decently regulatedmy dad has been sick for decades and sometimes I see his medical costs for scans and shit and the pre coverage costs is horrifying if they ever fully privatize it is fucking over
>>144014415panic buying to avoid relegation. these lads are gonna be flogged all the world chasing top 10s in mickey mouse races
>>144014411not really the place to discuss this stuff but long and short version would be no political will for it
I'm not a biking fan.But I was told colombia is considered a world superpower in bike's sports.How do europeans view colombian bikers?
>>144014380thanks amigo, I'll keep an eye out for those. They seem have vina real and Ramon Bilbao at our state run monopoly booze business
>>144014589goblin rattos
>>144014589Dopantes asquerosos
>>144014589>world superpower
>>144014589>But I was told colombia is considered a world superpower in bike's sports.
>>144014589Wheelsuckers the continent
>>144014612>>144014627>>144014630>>144014636>>144014641I looked it up and the fact colombia is basically a mountain range country, wouldn't be an advantage compared to europeans?
>>144014657yes, europeans even go there to dope, I mean train at high altitude
>>144014657You looked up your own country to learn it is mountainous? Yes Colombians are generally very good climbers.
>>144014657the real advantage is training at home where no pesky interpol or french police are about
>>144014589superMAL more like super dopeur
Do tri"athletes" swim and run with chamois or cycle without one?
>>144014707mini chamois innit
>>144014669>>144014672>>144014667>>144014677I mean, I'm not new to colombia.Just newer looked it up as a sport.I always saw the news about some colombian new beetle winning some stage at the tour de france.
>ynr Jan Hirt paid for a training camp in Columbia just for him>in his contract year
>>144014411>It isn't the insurance companies trying to fuck you that shocks me the most (as you say, it is like that everywhere)In the special case of health insurance, it's not nearly this bad here.But what's extremely broken here is that there's no "final" judgment in private law. Even if you take the insurance company to court and the judge tells them to pay the fuck up, they can just force a new trial by producing "new" "evidence", and they can do this over and over again and delay payment infinitely, until you either agree to their terms or die.
>>144014771Colombia is a good cycling nation people just laugh because you called it a superpower. You are ranked 12th on UCI rankings for whatever that's worth.
>>144014814ah, ok.Which is the best non european nation in the rankings?
>>144014844The Yanqui pig-dogshttps://www.procyclingstats.com/rankings/me/uci-nations
>>144014844
>>144014860>>144014861Actually that doesn't seem to be a bad place.
>>144014494>>144014533Fuck, forgot about the chink trinkets. Yeah, the UCI point buy up made some sense maybe including that immediate Bertiol transfer but this is now a spree.
>>144014992it's far too late anyway considering the placement of israel and lottoand teams like UNO-X farm in all 1.1 and 1.pro races where astana doesn't even bother to show up to
>>144014589The sudakas are so powerful and feared the World Anti Dopage agency goes out of their way to punish them for non-existent offenses
>>144014860>above Polska>but below Latviapeculiar
>>144014589Colombian riders are alright. Recently the uci and wada like to use them as punching bags for anti doping so they can pretend they are doing something while the big Fish swim free
Imagine the doping at Astana next year. That's why they sign all these grandads. The oldschool guys are ok with a few cheeky supplements. Vino will probably be 7W/kg himself.
>>144015068VACEK is going to build a nice gap, maybe BITTNER will throw in something too. A few lean years incoming until hard to pronounce names maybe float in the ranks of Visma, Cofidis et al. and not sink in some Mazowsze Serce Polski or Qinghai Qrwas.
Imagine doing a bolivian world tour.
>>144015163the European pro peleton CANNOT handle these altitudes
>>144015163was a columbian race this year where they climbed to 4200 meters altitude I think you should ride as initiation ritual
Van Garderen, Talansky, Farrar, Phinney, Stetina, Dombrowski...
>>144015209>>144015232Bolivians would destroy europeans in LA PAZ.
>>144015282there's not a single Bolivian pro rider even in the exotic races I don't think I've ever seen a Bolivian
>>144015257You forgot about our very own /cyc/ poster William Frischkorn
>>144015319bolivians gains super powers when playing locally.They did 6-0 to argentina a couple years ago.
>>144015319supposedly some of these guys started in colombia alongside kwabbendish this year
>>144015378mhmm they exist supposedly
why doesn't cycling have a flag wave?
>>144015442is it our weekly puck checkupWC in september
>>144015442we can hear the bell
>>144015407>4 OTLsconvenientinb4 some südamerika race enjoyers ITT are like yeah bert we totally know these guys heres a fake screenshot of me mentioning MOYATA on stage 3
>>144015442We first need to bring back T'Grid
>mfw europeans don't drink aguapanela after climbing a mountain
>>144015464She was GOING to race.
>>144015484is that drugs? does it enhance performance?
>>144015495this woman is a legit con artist at this point
>>144015520yes.On a serious note, It's just sugar cane jars.
>>144015484do you drink your panela water hot or gold
I don't care about Tiberi but racing under those temperature since the beginning does sound dangerous.Spain is becoming more and more of a literal hellhole, maybe moving the date wouldn't be such a bad idea.I mean today its a DNF but one day it could be worse.
>>144015495at this point I think she just has hundreds of these pictures saved for the next few yearsnever a spot of dirt on her gear either
>>144015529Not really she's just an Instagram whore and always has been. I don't think she ever made most of her money from cycling.
>>144015495this is why you don't do bareback anal, Big Gay thinks it's bad PR against them, but it is unironically #1 cause of ass cancer, methinks that's quite a bit worse than some gays hurt feelings
>>144015548consider arensman who already had a heatstroke and is forced to keep racing anyway
>>144014589NAIROMAN ES UN CICLISTA
>>144015546You usually boil some milk or water, then dissolve it on it.Sometimes in some places they put some cheese that melts on it.
>>144015548maybe not go racing the hottest part of europe year round would be a smart idea they could atleast move those stages to last week
>>144015495i can inspect her cervix for medical identification
>>144015548Why isn't La Vuelta ciclista in October anyway? Those Frauds don't deserve a vacation anyway
>>144015973the giro won't give up it's spot and I doubt they'll give up their lombardia spot either
>>144016050Move the Italian 3 races to ~20th of September and have Vuelta week afterwards, problem solved
>>144016067and paris roubaix to november
>>144016127Turns out it really simple to fix ciclismo in tree simple steps
Speaking of tree, any news if Tibo NYS will return to CX after this breathrough season?
>>144016050The Giro want to switch with Vuelta, it's the Vuelta that doesn't want to move, they are the 2nd chance GT, if they move to may no top names will give up Tour to target Vuelta
>>144016247Yes he will, today was his last road race
>>144016247He ended his road season today to get ready for the CX one. There is simply too much money to be made in starting fee for him to pass on it.
>>144016290>>144016293I seeHe will probably be at least the fifth best billed runner
>>144015577? Cervical cancer I doubt is from anal sex. Most likely she got a few std's that ruined her womb. As scarface says, her womb is polluted.
>>144016293I think he also genuinely wants to do well in it Daddy's shadow and all
>>144016371I'm sure it's fun too and someone needs to be wc when grug decides that 9 title is enough
What is the /bert/ recovery regime? For me, protein powder, warm bath, compression socks, massage gun, compex and quetiapines for a long restful sleep.
I wonder if Veganbert is suffering in some turkish hotel right now with his hair injections
>>144016398Badoit and pizza
>>144016398Hot shower and tiger balm on legs>>144016400It wasnt me. I'm 25 nowhere near 33 like that guy. and I wouldn't get another mans ass crack hair grafted on my head, it's wrong
>>144016450I had no idea there was a third frenchman hereWell it's good that it's not over for you
>>144016494Some threads there's 4, even 5 singular french posters. Pay attention
>>144016398>>144016427>>144016450>not sipping ketones
>>144016528Outside the tour it's often just the two of us though
>>144016398one simple swim in the sea trumps all that try hard stuff. apart from the sleep of course
>>144016398I sleep and eat
>>144014161What the fuck are those o'connor and roglic odds?? The bookmakers probably just look at the daily stage results and update according to those, because there is way too much change day to day for these to be believable odds
I don't even know what country Renewi is in
>>144016639>The bookmakers probably just look at the daily stage results and update according to thoseyeah no fucking shit ya lunaticmaybe they change the football odds when a teams wins too. fuck sake
Her/she is going to finish the season as the third best rider lol
>>144016579>>144016567>>144016450>>144016427I was thinking about getting these
>>144017009
>no races tomorrow
>>144016398Protein shake, bagel, and head to the closest amp for a table shower.
>>144016450>I wouldn't get another mans ass crack hair grafted on my headFuckin ghastly, I thought it was your own ass crack hair.
>>144017044
>>144016736>finish the season in the rainbow jerseyftfy
>>144016736They are not gonna send him to Lombardia in case he humbles the infamous slovenian dopeur, right?
>>144017183Roglic always gets humbled in Lombardia anyway
>>144017183Only loyal gregarios this time.MSR is still fresh in people's memmories.
>>144013681Beer
>>144017044Guadeloupe and Bulgaria, high quality ciclismo
>>144017111um why is it ass hair? what's wrong with other hair?
>>144017009Won't save you
I just went to burger kingIt's Almeidas fault
>my potential cycling gf will never make me snacks for the road
>>144018005he stole her lunch?
>>144018223rude
you know how oj simpson once wrote (had ghostwritten) a book of speculative fiction on how if he killed his wife it would've happened? i would love a book like that from team jumbo visma that details their rise from some crappy team to the best team in the world. "If we had a massive doping program: team jumbo visma"
Adrie van der Poel and Matt Hayman used to be teammates
3:27 in bonus dios mio Roglic could never
>>144018750Just make him talk( coherently).The stuff he knows could topple the team easily. I'm suprised they just let him go.
>>144018750they absolute love to tell you. they make special documentaries every year to tell you. also Rabobank were pretty good
>>144018750>rise from some crappy team to the best team in the world. "If we had a massive doping program: team jumbo visma"ye back in the good old clean days with Michael Rasmussen and Denis Menchov before the dirty dopers of 2020's
if carapaz podiums there will be consequences
>>144019131yes, good consequences, my veloteam might be saved
>>144019240billions must die
>>144016675I meant the rankings. Oconnor was third today so he goes up. Yates goes up even though he has no chance etc
>>144019240I hope this race gets cancelled. I have both Almeida and Tiberi.
>>144019527I also have Almeida, that's why my veloteam needs saving in the first place
Is there some tool that will find the flattest section of road in your area? Finally attempting structured training for the first time in my life and the extremely hilly/mountainous terrain around me makes it almost impossible to consistently stay in the Z1 power range. I don't have access to a trainer unfortunately.
>>144019800Yeah maps. Modern digital ones are really handy.
>>144019800With komoot you can search local routes and filter on both distance and elevation
>>144017009>Six-hundred and ninety-nine pounds sterling
GREAT ride, saw a cool snake
>>144019800You can use Strava heatmaps or RideWithGPS to find popular routes in your area.Unfortunately if you want to get autistic about structured training, it's hard to do with rolling terrain. Sustained climbs or flats are what you're looking for. If you really have nothing but crazy hills around you, maybe get something like an 11-36 cassette to help moderate power. And remember, you're not getting paid for this, you don't need to spend 85.69% of your time in Z2 as precisely calculated by a 20 minute test. You can just go really hard on your hard days and take it easy otherwise and ride lots of miles

>>144020116sometime I wish I could like gravel, but then I'd have to put the bike on the suv bike rack, and drive quite far away before I even start cycling. Either that or do the same big urban park trail over and over again
everything hurts in this god-forsaken world
>>144020925may I introduce you to tapentadol
>>144020925burgerbertao seems to think otherwise
i stayed sitting at a park for too long on friday and got 2 mosquito bites, one on the outside of my thigh near the knee and another on my palm. I react badly to bug bites and it's swolen quite a bit. I hope it clears tonight because riding and benching is gonna be a bitch with that welt on my hand
I didn't think it was that sulphurous
>>144020925Too true Bert.
>>144021290he was toasted at the end of it, still had his ice vest on at the interview stool
>>144020116Yeah I saw a coral snake on the outdoor track I go to last week. Never seen one before and I've lived here forever. Deadly little fuckers
Do you guys actually watch whole races? >T.Extendo highlights Chad
>>144021679Also within the last 2 months I've seen an armadillo, a fox, a skunk, a possum and a bobcat. But the coral snake was the most interesting since I'd never seen it before
>>144021290Carapaz went from 6 minutes behind him to 1 and a half so did he drink the magic potion too
>I couldn’t immediately gauge how I was feeling today,” continues Kuss, who crossed the line in 15th place in Granada. “The heat played a role from the start. On the final climb I decided to go for my own pace. In retrospect I am happy that I was able to limit the damage again.”>The form is there and I feel good. There are a lot of riders in excellent shape at the moment. I'm trying to focus on my own performance now. There are still two long weeks to come in this Vuelta. We'll see what they can bring.
Poor Vayer is losing it, dude must be seing pogi in his nightmares
Also the CLEAN Ingebrigsten just beat the 3000m WR (from 1996), which is basically the equivalent of pantani's alpes d'huez record. Trully remarkable how the new training helps allow for peak EPO types of performance
>>144021808>I have no audience but I must squeak
>>144021834Yeah Komen's old record was considered at least as good as El-Guerrouj's- 1500m WR, so pretty incredible stuff. Although in athletics I don't really rate the new world records as high due to the shoe and track surface technology. As far as I'm concerned, El-Guerrouj is still the best ever middle distance runner and Kenenisa Bekele by far the best long-distance guy.
BIG news frens: I found my 40 dollar coospo hr monitor. It was hiding in the back of my jersey
>>144021790The meltdown from Vaughters if he did would be entertaining.
>>144021896Vaughters swore Padun was clean so he should shut the fuck up
>>144021808>I suffer for the whole mankind
Adam Hansen has arranged for more freedom of the Shimano cars.
Tiberi almost died but the riders think it's okay so Adam Hansen doesn't do anything. But he is always there!
>>144022104Kek, Mas said he did massive amounts if heat trainingI'd also let the weaker perish, Hansen is a spineless cuck
>>144022104>11° right now but already busy workingthe sky looks great and I want to ride...
>>144022157oh no, what a sloppy job. need more coffee.
Gravel sisters, were back
>>144022010After the Piccolo debacle, I suspect he will
>>144022184That boy got set up
Will we see the UFO in Bulgaria today?
>Sabgal / Anicolor doing tour of britainI already wanted to say that Remco doesn't have any competition, but looks like now he does.
>>144022190cut it out retardsmall cut, tweezersits going to suck but it is what it is
>>144022179Very nice, enjoy
>>144022277>Just cut out your own footI can't bear to deface my delicate tootsie like that. What a horrible idea. But I can't walk on it without it hurting...this is truly a horrific injury
>>144021834No one cares about the 3000 thoughever
My Alpecin jersey doesn't work anymore in Velodrama but I don't give a FUCK. Fix it Velobert I am NOT getting another one
>>144022302it'll literally take weeks to push out enough to yank just cut deep enough where you can grab it and yoink itim not saying grab a kabar and cut half your foot, just deep enough where you can grab it
>>144022325It hasn't worked in ages now
>>144022215The circumstances were indeed peculiar. Bahrain should offer him a contract
>>144022389Yes>>144022403Tank u fren
Time for the great tootsiepocalypse. I'm going in frens!
>>144022660Eat it
>>144022797I like how you think fren
That Angliru Feel
felt shit and demotivated and sad yesterday then I went for a late evening spin for 2hr and felt much better, no bad drivers because they're in the pub or early bed for their working class jobs. cycling is medicine.
Lol
>>144022960We’re in a glass house when it comes to these type of articles friend
>>144022960>everyones squeaking about Torres >uhm have you forgotten who actually WON this race? We're still relevant! HELLO??
>>144022974I laugh at those too
i should be getting my kickr today. my gp5000 tires arrive wednesday or thursday.

>>144023110Always get the BOA ones. Strap shoes sucks
Loudenvielle - Peyragudes ITT in the TdF 2025
>>144023110yeah the ones with BOA
>>144023110get at least the 500 or the 700 shimano shoes. you can adjust them better than with just one boa dial. if you have wide feet, shimano offers wide models as well.meanwhile I'm enjoying the s-phyre shoes that I bought on sale, good shit.
>>144023077Ineos could have easily signed him and lamperti but they just didn't because they love viviani
>>144023230i would get the rc502 but they dont have ones on sale in my size so itd be 3 times more. the sphyres look top of the line. think ill go with the discount rc300's (BOA).what cleat float do you like, 0 degree float, 2, 6? look has cleats offering 9 degrees even. Im guessing most here like the 0 degree ones right?

>>144023328wout has such a weird bodyshape
>>144021081That reminds me when I get bitten it's often in the EXACT same spot as a previous bite. What's that all about? Feels like a glitch in the matrix.
>>144022010>Vaughters should shut the fuck upYes
>>144023110>non white shoesboth horrendous
>>144023312don't get the 0 degrees as a starter. You need some float at first until you perfectly tune your position.I have TIME pedals and both cleats, float and fixed. Non float is good for racing, an occasional 2-3hrs intense ride where you need every bit of power transfer possible. However for everyday riding float cleats are better, you underestimate the long term comfort of having the ability to sway your feet just 5°. Mechanically it dissipates all the tension in your leg that otherwise builds up in your knee. Years of fixed cleats only and at 40 your knees are done for. This is no joke you should pretend fixed cleats don't exist at least for the next few years
>>144023429whatre ur shoes sean kelly? and what float cleats do you use?
>>144021808not like he had much to lose at this point. if he was squeaking during Froome era, now all is left is to screech at the top of his lungs
>>144023441great advice thanks for the effort posting fren. looks like ill recycle my yellow 6 degree spd-sl cleats to my new shoes, whichever ones i decide on.
>>144023442Northwave Extreme GT 1 but I would not recommend them. They are only ok. In fact it must be time to buy some new ones. I found this photo in the archive it's from 6 (SIX) years ago

>>144023547there's always a good sale on somewhere. I think it' worth buying the expensive ones if can get them for a good price.

Are berts really that in love with their road shoes or are berts just another victims of sunken cost fallacy?If I could start again, I would most likely choose mtb shoes instead
>>144023573i think he got ran over by a cyclist because he was spazzing out like a retard when i went by, when i went around the track he had slithered off (probably to die, they have spines that can break like us)
>>144023614mostly just a comfort thing for me
>>144023614I like Favero Assiomas so road shoes it is
>>144023614I have both, road are more confortable. Also theyre not more expensive
>>144023614nobody under the age of 60 should be wearing spd on a road bike. my mate's uncle comes riding with us sometimes he is the only person I know who does this despicable act. but he is over 60 and never even heard of colnago until he saw one on a ride once. he doesn't give a fuck about of that shit
>>144023621>>144023663I hear this a lot but what makes them more comfortable? The cleat placing or just the shape of the shoes?>>144023640Yes, well, I am also in the same boat
>>144023676shape of the shoes for me, I've got quite high/wide feet so I am often limited in what fits nice for me, goes for sneakers too
>>144023685Have you tried Lake? I think their widest lasts are identical for MTB and road. My feet are 11.7cm wide and their CX238 and CX201 are the only lasts that fit my feet even remotely.
>>144023763are you the barefoot fin
>>144023676Feels better, simple as.
>>144023763Going to have to look after something similar, I am starting to start my feet squish at around 30km. It hurts at 50km and then I just forget about it.
>>144023861Yeah, haven't used normal non-barefoot shoes outside of weddings etc. for years>>144023889I strongly recommend the Lakes, they are also widely available online. I'd steer away from other brands like Shimano who have "wide" offerings that are not really wide at all but simply have more volume over the foot.
Final climb tomorrow
Used rest day to make a Renewi team.Really easy. Only guy I couldn't fit in was Stier, but got all the others I wanted + some waterboys for assistance.

>>144024084Lampaert chuted hard so I'll help you this once
>>144023614I used to have spd when I first started because I was scared about clipping in. I just find road cleats a lot more comfortable and stable for long rides. I switched to Look due to Assioma pedals and I don't even think about them at all
>>144024147
>>144013737not a huge fan of him, but what is he even supposed to do now>>144014025shouldn't display show the mirror image of the text
>>144023676Broader cleat means power transfered over a bigger area, more comfortable on the foot.Also I don't like the sloppy engagement of SPD, I prefer lower float and more engaged feeling

waar vuelta he
>Winner of the Alpes Isère Tour, the Giro Next Gen and the Tour du Val d'Aoste, the Belgian was the big favourite for the Tour de l'Avenir. But since everything seemed easy for the 1st year Espoir, there were probably mistakes upstream. At least that’s his feeling. “I did too many races. I had already told the team two months ago that I was doing too many races, but they didn’t listen to me and we can see what that means. This week showed that I had to train more and do fewer races.”>For his coach, Sven Vanthourenhout, there is some positive in this failure. “Maybe it’s not so bad for him because the expectations around him are always higher and higher,” he told DirectVelo the day his rider folded his wings on the road to Mont-Cenis. And at the end of the event, his speech had not changed. “It’s not because he didn’t win the Tour de l’Avenir that he won’t have a brilliant future. He has to learn from a race like that and from the disappointments. Everyone is still very proud of Jarno, but he wasn’t ready for this Tour de l’Avenir”.>His future should involve another attempt at the Tour de l’Avenir. “I’ll come back next year and try again”, promises the man who should continue in the Lotto-Dstny . But well before that, there will be the U23 World Championship in Zurich (Switzerland) at the end of September. “I will only do the World Championship and the Tour of Lombardy between now and the end of the season. I will only focus on these big goals, and no longer on the small races”. A first lesson learned from his complicated Tour de l’Avenir.
>>144024350Ride slave, we have articles to write

>>144024950I'm usually far more sympathetic than most of /cyc/ to these sorts of things, but this feels like a pretty made up issue. Just ride a stronger bike then move to something else if you lose weight. It's not like the extra couple of kg is going to make a significant difference. Just like me riding a bike a few kg heavier than the lightest bikes doesn't really matter much because I'm nearly 80 kg already. If you go full weight weenie as a non-pro, you better be 65 kg MAX.

>>144024950Communitybros.. this is not ok.
>>144024950>performancelmao they are paying 2-5k more for minimal weight and aero gains, just fucking buy a bike that can support all your fat and concentrate on losing it and the gains would be 100 to 1 when compared to performance bikes.Not to mention that there is literally a miracle drug in the market right now, just fucking give your money to the d*nish at novo. shit ain't hard.
>>144025008136 fucking kilos. why would you be sympathetic to that. the limit is for safety reasons. it's not you're are excluding 90kg slightly over weight folk.
>>144025040Did you not read the rest?
>>144025060nah, is there any substance to it other than the click bait title or is all just whining?
my dad said he had a fat customer who was around 140kg and he just accepted the bike will break. he'd be back every few months for blowing out spokes and just got new wheels every time. as >>144025008 said it's just another made up issue by a tabloid news site. THESE SHOULD BE IGNORED AND NOT GIVEN ATTENTION, because that is exactly what these people want.
Also what do they mean by more transparent about weight limits? Do they want them to spell it out? If you weigh as much as a small car you will probably break this bike. Jesus wept

Big Furniture needs to be more transparent with weight limits. How many obeseoids have broken chairs because of this lack of transparency
>>144025085Oh I meant the rest of my post. Where I said I disagreed with this. I'm not going to seek this out. Guarantee it's either complete nonsense by some random angry fuck they found, or a real story about a manufacturer not being forthcoming with limits, blown up with a clickbait title. Either way not worth anyone's time. And yet here we are on a Congolese quilting forum talking about it.
>>144025099>>144025129Guise, it's newspeak for "recognize your original sin of making problematic, discriminatory bikes for normal and fit people and publicly atone for it, preferably with recognition and endorsement of community leaders who strive for more equal and safe environment for bike using personsx".
>>144025154unironically it's a perfect little case to show how and why big tabloid is so successful by tugging on the outraged emotions of our slightly dim members of society. if I had a pound for everytime someone spoke about how outrageous it is that men pretend to be women and want to use their toilets...!
>>144025154oh yeah, I agree with your point, any gains from a 1-2k bike to a 10k+ is going to be completely negated by an extra 10kg of extra fat, let alone someone who is easily at 45+ BMI and/or 50kg+ over any healthy standard. Take that money and give it to novo, it will improve your life more than you can possibly imagine

>>144027128Is that just a meme, I haven't seen or heard anything about this in China at all. And it is not like the Chinese people I talked to were afraid to speak out about anything
>>144027161yea it is they arent even aware of such a system existing
>>144027137I personally want schizos. Lolcows like you are hilarious.

>>144027161>>144027170it is a meme. you could say this "system" exists almost everywhere in form of how insurance companies calculate you car insurance rates and how bank calculate your credit score.

Ben O'Connor feels no extra pressure: "Now it's up to other riders to make moves">Not Primoz Roglic, Enric Mas or Mikel Landa, but Ben O'Connor leads the Vuelta a España after nine stages. And after his power grab in the stage to Yunquera, his rivals are looking at a considerable gap. Does this comfortable starting position also bring extra pressure?>It was one of the questions posed to O'Connor at an online press conference, during the first rest day of the Tour of Spain. In his own words, the Decathlon AG2R leader does not feel any extra pressure.> "Because it's quite unexpected. I never thought about being able to wear the leader's jersey here in the Vuelta," Het Nieuwsblad quotes. "Many classification riders never get the chance to wear the leader's jersey in a big tour. So I am especially enjoying it.">"I actually really like racing at the head of the race. Now it's up to other riders to make moves, not me anymore," said O'Connor, who did not get into trouble Sunday in the crucial mountain stage to Granada. Indeed, he managed to snatch four bonification seconds at the line.

>>144027353heeuj
>>144027374me too, then I wouldn't be stupid enough to try and blast up everything full sprint at 185 HR
>>144027404Of course you would.
>>144027434it would be very painful
>>144027353Mine still make a tactical break, they opt for an overcooked 'houi'.
>>144027449I have a 20 minute climb that I often use on my long rides. It happened several times that a 100km ride turned into a 50km one just because I decided to go full gaz on that climb

>>144027490to say I wish I had that problem would be an understatement
>>144027544Yes but I have nowhere to do longer efforts outside of a long path along the water but that is so crowded I do not feel safe doing it a high speeds dodging 30 boomers every 10 minutes.Sometimes I yearn for the vine machine
I have this one Annaberg nearby, so I can start and finish home, but haven't been there yet. Rather fun-sized, pic real easiest side, and two sides of 5km at 4% and almost 4km at 4.5%.
>>144027607Speaking of vine machine, I just saw my neigbhor raping on his balcony. It's fucking 30 degree outside, not exactly the best conditions for that
>>144027620he's already preparing for next year
my city is built on medium hills. you can't even go 5 km without climbing or descending. in some cities I was, there's like no hills at all. it's probably more convenient for commuting, but also kinda boring, now that I think about it.
This one is 40km away. I wish it was closer, litteraly perfect climb

>>144027972I'm usually commuting on my endurance (50/34 x 11-34) or MTB (40 x 11-36) bikes. so doable without much strain
>>144027987pls pay attention, today was an easy day. this post is about garmin being useless

I was trying to find some old climbs on strava, and some of my KOMs in really backwater places are still standing from like 7-10 years ago lmao. it's like pages of completely irrelevant rubbish KOMs. now that's strava is blocking Russian and available only through integration through 3rd party services it's kinda funny 2bh

>>144028085I am a paying subscriber to this website, it's really good, it was made by 2 dutch guys as a hobby project, one lives in the alps and one in the ardennes who just wanted to ride up every mountain and catalogue it, and it's now become really big internationally
>>144028136>7-10 years agoYou've had Strava in 2006 or something? Nice.>7-10 years ago was already 2017-2014
>>144028209I didn't. it's all thanks to garmin integration.
>>144028103Yes, I'm indeed pretty new around these parts of seepee. HelloYou'd think so but the city is build on a hill and to cycle there you'd have to be suicidal>>144028090Comfy 35degrees, work late in the evening, seems like a plan
>>144028085Come here to try my local rampas
>>144027962MATAR SUHAIL AL YABHOUNI DHAHERI is so based
>>144028224they probably didn't really think about it. now I'm wondering if some people got their activities even before strava became a thing just because of integration.
>>144028256Probably, a common format of files or even a ported format. I've had endomondo *back in the day* when I still had a road bike that was older than me, you could surely integrate the files from it if you had them.

>>144028306god bertollo please put these in a format that isn't an eyesore
>>144028287gpx format was implemented in 2002, first garmin geolocation consumer devices were introduced in 2003 and strava went live in 2009
>>144028306when will the unbeaten rampa finally be beaten
>>144028306>>144028345Are these your formats Brtek? I mean have you plotted them yourself?That would be rude Belgbert.
>>144028345you are an eyesore>>144028365yes of courshe, took whole 5 minutes>>144028358attempted once and had to stopit's very close to home so it's not ideal, bad to start (because i die) and bad to finish
>>144028350gpx exists that long huh. Never knew about it about before getting here, though it would be a post myspace-youtube internet boom thing.
>>144028388Nice, laughing from the situeish, not from the quality, of course they look smallish altogether but that looks profeshionel.
>>144028388didn't you have like a proper graph for your rides
>>144028421the script has two modes, climb and stage!the "stage" is not ideal when source material is downloaded rather than measure since it hides inaccuracies
>>144028397it's crazy, really. never would've thought such format existed when I wasn't even a uni student
bought me HRMand a weight vestand chain lubeamazon giving me the free prime trial again. pretty sure they do this every time I order and I just cancel the same day getting the free delivery and free month of tv slop.
>>144028201>>144028085I've been tempted to buy the serviceI should also just book a week to Madeira
>>144028201they did a good job but not something I would use enough to pay for. maybe strava could buy them. I remember using veloviewer when your man was still building it. I hope he made good money from it.
Almost didn't rain on me ride.
https://www.strava.com/pros/5452411have you been following what this lad is up to? absolutely outrageous climbing nearly mountain in the alps one after the other
there is big money in cycling data overlay for videos. there's the one most use which is 120 dollar one off payment, a scam but people love it. surely cannot be hard to develop an overlay for video, all you need to do is match up 1s dataplots to a video with a graphic overlay. it really cannot be hard to do, yet there are no real viable free options I know of.
>>144028556with them online market places it's really about getting addicted to tracking your packages at all times so you keep ordering things that you maybe don't need. here we have all kind of things like wildberries, ozone, yandex market, sber market,mega market etc. with very easy money transaction through sbp and what's not. sometimes it's more about tracking your package than actually getting things

I am happy O'Connor is bringing AG2R some success despite leaving. He's a good lad, I like him. Probably best for both parties he leaves but at least it's on a high.
>>144028707For me the most unreal part is descending 3km in 3 hours (on foot)
>>144028824well, yes. when every joint in your lower body aches like hell
>>144028714amazon annoys me because 90% of the stuff they sell is absolute shit spammed with fake reviews. they will never get me hooked
>>144028770Brajkovic-esque
>>144028888I used to go hiking a lot more, did weeks in the Alps with average 1500m gain/loss a day. Then the Chinese Coronavirus came (and age, of course), the /cyc/ office sent all home, sold our chairs to Poland. I stopped r*nning, stopped walking, started to ride a bike and my legs never recovered. I can hike still uphill 2k a day ""no problem"" but descending the same amount means I am on suicide watch for a week.I hiked couple times this summer, it improved a little but it's far far from perfect.
I need a rest day from life

>>144029227He might accidentally while leading out Jappe.
>>144029024I did a race many moons ago that started with an 8 mile mountain run. then kayak across a lake. then run to your bike. then cycle across some mountains. then climb this fucking beast. then back on your bike to the finish. then we sat in our shitty lidl tents drinking cans of warm 8.6coming down the mountain was the worst part. also I only had a shitty steel bike with down shifters. but my mates had no bikes and rented some casual tourist bikes with like 5 gears and a basket on the front. fun times

>I often determined the length of my distance sessions and interval sets during preseason by the general wear of my body. In other words, I tried to stick to the Limit.

changed my chain this evening and took half an hour to connect the quick links, chain kept pulling out because i had no idea how to keep the rear derailler pulled, they didn't show that in the Park Tool videos. Some guy at the community shop had to show me how to make a double hook thing from a broken spoke to keep the chain together so I can free up my hands to connect the chain ends.

>>144030298based
>>144031763first time i ever dealt with it and the volunteers at the shop were all busy so I was on my own for a bit, I actually rewatched the park tool video when I came home and I realized there was no rear wheel, the chain wasn't going on the rear sprockets. Chain did go through the chain plates though although it wasn't on the biggest one like i was doing this evening. Forgot the little details.
