@petitecyclist Sorry it came across that way. Wasn’t intended. Pro riders train their ability to consume higher levels of carbs. So by amateur I don’t mean novice. I mean untrained in carb consumption. Caffeine usually kicks in by about ten minutes after consumption in gels. Quick!
In front: the older model Cinturato Vélo 28. Behind: the replacement model Cinturato Evo 30. New one is: smaller (30=28), heavier, higher rolling resistance, lower puncture resistance. Progress???🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
New pedal day. 😎 Retiring the very old E13 LG1+ and now #dmrbike Vault in blue. To stretch out the lifespan of the old pedals, I’ve been running DMR Moto pins so I have a large supply ready to go if I want more grip.
Was wearing my Kalas custom kit yesterday, as was the guy I was coaching, when some random came up to see where we got our outfits. Turns out he loved the look and hoped to buy. I told him all he had to do was get coached and buy. Thanks for the compliment random cyclist.
Bike-a-rific weekend. Built a carbon rim into a wheel and installed 4 new tyres (3 with foam inserts). Brand new inserts are the worst for installation! Then rode…
Old helmet left (Rampage Pro Carbon), new helmet right (Rampage Carbon RS). New one feels so much lighter in hand. Wish it had a little colour. @FoxRacingAUS
We started the discussion about my 26th @VikingsCycling Novice program this month. More coaches, more students, one session per week - lots of changes afoot. I think it could be great.
Broke yet another spoke in this @envecomposites rear wheel. Came on bike. Bike co (at first break) said talk to ENVE. ENVE said talk to Aussie importer. They said talk to bike co. So I’m replacing all 14 NDS spokes. 🤞🏻that fixes it.
