/cyc/ should make their own bike brand called Van Bert with the top tier bike called the Squeak. Bertaczek would be responsible for the bottom brackets to make sure that the bike stands for its name. We will hire Puck Moonen to shill for our bikes. The contract with her would include a clause that she has to finish the races she starts or she won't be paid.

>>145619881Doesn't really matter on your vinemachine does it
>>145619638doesn't really matter on my vine machine does it
>>145620069Yeah, it's relatively common actually, but most often we get some snow, then it melts into slush after a few days or weeks, then some new snow again etc. A good continuous winter with a decent amount of snow and mostly minus degrees from december to march is much rarer here compared to the Northern and more central parts of the country.

>>145622689OK Gilbert calm down
>>145622711Gilbert is both right and a seether
>>145622769What experience does he have coaching? nothing he’d be a turbo drama magnet at best this is pure vanity from the man
>>145622846to be fair sven's experience before becoming road coach was a few year's of national cx coach aka a job that shouldn't even exist
>>145622846what experience does any coach have besides riding a bike fast? Gilbert is based AF
>>145623265He's commentating on french eurosport and he doesn't seem like he would be a good coach

>>145626542A Subaru, potentially a crosstrek, If not, a RAV4 or a CRV.Changed the old plastic pedals on my commuter bike with metal bmx pedals. I didn't end up hurting myself or bleeding, but man is it awkward trying to find that flat part of the nut with the pedal wrench and then putting yourself in a position with good leverage. Calvin Jones from Park Tool TM made it look so easy.

Wake up cyc, time to go to work
>>145627741I'm ready
>>145627816Same, going to be cold though
>>145627835As long as there's no wind it's alright. When there's wind it's hell
>>145627530Give me -20C anytime but that 20C temperature jump. It is not even too windy with those 5m/s poriwi wietra.

>>145628155interesting pedal choice
>>145628168Yeah I want to switch but I was too lazy to buy gravel shoes
>>145628119jokes aside, I like this start of a winter, because it's cold enough for snow to be dry. my commuter bike is in full winter mode now with aggressive spiked tyres and it's very fun
Should I go tubeless on my gravel? Does it even do anything against spikes?

Anyone ever tried these? My vittoria trainer tire just fucking exploded and every other brand I've ever tried sprays rubber crap everywhere and costs $50. I'd use an old tire but apparently normal tires spray rubber shit too and I don't want to vacuum.

I just started cycling, when do my upper thighs stop burning
>>145630861Just /cyc/ beside it Bert.
>>145630878I've been /cyc/'ing beside it for 15 years
Did my first proper rape session. It was enthusiastic, vigorous, prolonged, and athletic. The app is so shit they force this colour coded bullshit. Just show the numbers. It's hard to concentrate the whole time. I start daydreaming and go way off pace without noticing. Fitness seems reasonable anyway. 291W avg for 20 minutes including warm up and down. Should be well over 300 in a month.
>>145630976what the fuck does any of that shit at the top mean
>>145630976> i can only average like 90W because my thighs hurt so much when peddling harder resistanceam i sitting or pedaling wrong wtf
>>145630988>i can only average like 90Whow unathletic can you get, even an obese fucker pushes more
>>145630987It's their zones based on % of your FTP. Then all the workouts go by colour. Unnecessarily complicated if you ask me. I will just create my own workouts in future.
>>145631018I'm not limited by my cardio or huffing and puffing, my thighs are in so much pain I just can't hold higher output very long
>>145631025>I will just create my own workouts in futureWhat kind of app has 20 minutes long workout lmao
>>145631027are you an anorexia victim or somethingdo you have no muscles in your legs?
>>145631035I picked the shortest one. They have plenty of longer options. If they showed the watts as well as their colour gimmick it would be fine. But when you finish you can't even see what watts you did for each interval. They only show the colours. So stupid.
>>145630889Very good, I get that it may get old at times but I miss it being a remotefag.When I sit at that chesstable at around 22:00 there is always this guy passing by on bike in hi-viz overalls looking at me and this mid girl from Kaufland walking by also peeking.I can see them being absolutely done with life and commute.
>>145631027Your messages are way too obnoxious so I'll answer only once. Just ride your bike, forget about power training zones, etc. Just ride your bike as much as you can, sometimes hard, sometimes long and slow, but fucking ride. Do 10hours a week for a year and then you can start thinking about power. Also sleep and protein.
>>145631076how does it base off of your ftp if you haven't done an ftp test
>>145631056>>145631083Christ you are all insufferable , now I see why people in cars take you people out
>>145631094you don't even have the strength to push in the gas pedal you fucking retard
>>145631084You can just put down whatever FTP same as you put down you whatever weight you are. I put 350but even still it's stupid because there is a large window for each colour. In the green zone I was meant to stay between 280 and 320. I will ignore their shit and do my own thing from now on.
>>145631099If I saw you in my car you would be in a fucking ditch you miserable fuck
>>145631126spend some more time on your bike instead of in your car, maybe you'll be able to turn the pedals twice
>>145631137Oh dont worry I will be just so I can come smoke your ass by bike and car loser
>>145630988Means you're unfathomably weak and nothing else. The Americans in this general are all very weak but you somehow manage to be even weaker, congrats kek why do you even post itt

in the 9th current year, what does it even mean for a bike to be a "beater"/"winter beater"?>ultralightweight and fragile is no longer a mainstream marketing goal, if you don't deliberately seek out drillium or carbon that flexes when you squeeze it you're not gonna get it>everything has discs and can fit 32s>carbon these days is as durable as aluminum (I think?) and about the same price in most markets (I think????) and neither one is going to rust if you ride it in the rainrelated: if you try to combine training and transport, what does your setup look like? road race bike with a saddle bag, sensible cheap grabbelbike with SPDs, flat pedal Dutch meme, other?
>>145631346Real talk now; I know for a fact that you're getting outperformed by my 61 year old mother who is completely sedentary and you're getting outperformed by 11 year olds and not just by a bit, neither of which should be possible. They have stronger muscles than you and they could probably take you out 1 vs 1 - the only logical conclusion at this point: Euthanasia
>>145630854comfy painting love the city lights to me
>>145631465beater/winter beater is a bike you don't mind locking outside when you go do something. Something that can be used for commuting without washing it after every rainy ride. Something thta can take fenders if you live in a wet area.
>>145631520Now that I think of it my rather tiny, unathletic mom has an FTP in the 100 W range.
>>145631465beater is for going to the shops or whatever. Not for training or long rideswinter bike is your old road bike that you don't mind getting destroyed in the rain
>>145631465You need another bike for commuting, can't do it without fenders, even in south of france
>>145631654>fenders>>145631694>fendersokay, fair point, but clip-ons/ass saver type will pretty much fit on anything>>145631668>without washing it after every rainy ridei mean, that's any bike, unless you have something that's gonna rust. right?>>145631673>getting destroyed in the rainbut again what does this actually entail? like a $100 80s paramount or whatever is gonna do way worse in the wet than a 2024 tcr. frame rust, exposed cabling, probably worse weather sealing on rotating parts, rim wear from braking in road grit, ....
>>145631752Real full length fenders. It's for going about town, commuting and doing things that aren't training. That means you'll be at least at times be wearing normal clothes that you don't want all dirty. And they protect your bike. If you have a nice bike you want to wash it after rainy rides, maybe not for the rust but road grime sticks on there and piles on if you don't wash it.
>rim breaksjog on lathis general is firmly established member of the disc/paypig alliance
>>145631752Realistically what's going to wear more in shit weather is chain, bearings, brake pads and discs and potentially spokes and nipples if they get fused to one another through corrosion which I've had before. If you want to get a new bike for bad weather riding of any kind just go for it, people just use old/cheaper stuff for bad weather riding to save money and without feeling bad about it being all dirty and crusty all the time

>Meanwhile, Bonnamour maintained his innocence. The driver wrote on X that he had ‘always respected the rules’. He said he had not used any banned substances and wanted to prove this with the help of his lawyers. However, he has now decided to give up the fight. “The defence is becoming too expensive”, he said in an interview with Ouest-France. The French newspaper writes that Bonnamour is ‘bitter’ by the course of events and feels that he has been wronged.

>Filippo Ganna behaalde de voorbije jaren behoorlijk wat medailles bij wereldkampioenschappen op de baan, maar vanaf 2025 zal hij geen WK’s meer betwisten op de piste. Dat heeft de Italiaan gezegd tegen het Italiaanse persbureau Adnkronos. Hij wil zich volledig focussen op wegwedstrijden.>Ganna sloeg het WK baanwielrennen in 2024 ook al over, maar veroverde tussen 2016 en 2023 zeven wereldtitels op de piste. Eén op de ploegenachtervolging, zes op de individuele achtervolging. Ook waren er nog vier bronzen medailles en drie zilveren plakken. Voorlopig zal het echter bij veertien keer eremetaal blijven. “Ik zal niet meer deelnemen aan wereldkampioenschappen op de baan”, aldus Ganna bij Adnkronos. “Wellicht ga ik wat meer trainen, zodat ik kan verbeteren op de weg.”>De 28-jarige Ganna had tot de voorbije Olympische Spelen het wereldrecord op de vier kilometer individuele achtervolging. In Parijs pakte zijn landgenoot Jonathan Milan dit record echter af. Ganna deed op de voorbije Spelen alleen mee aan de ploegenachtervolging, waar hij met Italië brons behaalde. Drie jaar eerder, in Tokyo, hadden hij en zijn landgenoten nog olympisch goud gepakt.

all the group rides in my area are always 3-7 hours longis this abnormal?they do a 'short ride' and it's 3 hoursis that normal or are they all try hards?2 hour ride for me is a pretty good average ride1-1.5 hour i'd consider short 2-3 hour a good length 4+ is long
>>145680276kek
>>145680447big ride is 100km+
>>145680477so this 'short ride' is 80km with 1700m of climbingis there something odd with my local groups?
>>145680510I wouldn't bother to organize a group ride that's less than 2 hours of ridingdon't you have one of those boomer groups that just does boring laps around something where you can pick in and leave whenever you want
>>145680524this is the boring boomer group
>>145680510depends, here no one rides in groups on weekends for a ride shorter than 4h, this is 100 to 120km depending on the amount of climbing big ride is usually above 4 to 6h usuallymost groups usually do a big stop for a beer or coffee and talk about crap for a while tho
what is the demographics of people that do group rides in your areas?its almost all smart people with high paying jobs around me, like doctor or people in heathcare research, mech/electrical/comp engineering, lawyers, real estate, well to do business owners...some people in BS but high paying tech jobs like UX i feel real weird
>>145680447I would say 3-7 hrs is common range for weekend rides for my local club. The "short ride, home before breakfast ride" starts at 6am and I think is like 70-80kmFor weekday rides, there's plenty of 1-1.5 hr before/after work rides
>>145680698>its almost all smart people with high paying jobs around me, like doctor or people in heathcare research, mech/electrical/comp engineering, lawyers, real estate, well to do business owners...some people in BS but high paying tech jobs like UXYep.
