DCR says not to bother... https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/10...ions-guide-winter-2019-2020.html#trainers-faqWhich tire would you people recommend for using in an indoor trainer?
Well, I don't want to run down my brand new GP 5000s. So I guess the answer is the cheapest tire i can find?DCR says not to bother... https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/10...ions-guide-winter-2019-2020.html#trainers-faq
However, it's a different story if you've only got MTB tyres (I use a Continental Hometrainer Trainer Tyre ).

The good thing is that i already have an spare wheel with cog.
A couple months ago I decided that I wanted to train for the triathlon. I started with swimming because that is what needed the most work and only recently did I purchase a bike.
I got a Cannondale Synapse Sora, and was able to snag a CycleOps Hammer for 40% off. I've been having a blast on Zwift just riding routes and doing a couple of workouts. I've yet to even get on the road because of how crap the weather is in Vancouver. I'm looking forward to getting outside and riding in the spring though.
My two cents but if you're training for a triathlon then TrainerRoad may be a better option. It's more structured workouts that focus on building strength on the bike versus just riding. I always found Zwift to feel too loose
So, I had a had ride yesterday. Right at the first climb I noticed that I was reaching high heart rates faster than usual and I got passed by fellow rides that I would normally leave behind. Later, strava confirmed my concerns:
Just compare it a ride of similar exertion of just a month ago:
A considerably longer distance with a way harder climb. Yet the relative effort is just slightly higher.
I know is normal to be tired, but does tiredness also presents by achieving higher heart rates with lower exertion? Thanks for any input, pals!
Is this place mostly pro-ebike or anti-ebike or eh-ebike?
I've never ridden an ebike before TBH, but I got passed by one wizzing by me on my daily commute last week while I was going my top speed pedaling pretty hard. The person who passed me didn't even seem like they were trying. So I looked them up and I was like OMG you can go 28 miles an hour without really pedaling?!?!?! And Ebikes are heavy too. I get that it can be useful for delivery people who may pedal around all day long too...
I started with an ebike. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to do my daily commute which eventually led to me to become a fit person after battling with obesity all my life. Also, depending where you live, ebikes have legal speed limits. In the European Union is 25km/h (15.5mph) in the USA, on most states is of 20mph otherwise it must be registered a motorcycle and is subject to all the applicable requirements (driving license, etc). There are several types of ebikes. Some will indeed be really heavy. Mine is of 25kg with a 500w motor.Is this place mostly pro-ebike or anti-ebike or eh-ebike?

Is the rim not centered in the frame or is the wheel just dished to the left?
Sounds like a pretty bad experience, sorry.
Put in an order for a Kona Process CR 134. It's gunna be a bit to adjust to but it's just so much more fun to ride than my hard tail
Is an ultegra cassette worth the extra money compared to 105's?
The sprocket construction is very similar, it's mostly just a weight difference in the spider and lockring (on the order of about 25 grams).Is an ultegra cassette worth the extra money compared to 105's?
So I left my bike overnight in my work's bike cage (out of necessity) with a cable lock attached but not a u-lock and someone cut down the cage door (which was the most challenging part) and stole my bike. 6 year old Giant Rome that I liked very much and had begun to ride every day to work. MIPS helmet which I'd gotten for 50% off (and now can't find anything close to that value) was taken, too, of course.
I imagine I'll get more lectures than anything here for leaving it overnight without the u-lock, but I'm pretty shocked that they went to such lengths in a fairly safe area. It's a lesson learned for me and a good reminder for anyone who would ever let their guard down.
Will spend the last week before holidays moping as I bus to work, but will then look at what I'm going to replace it with....
Came back from my LBS, couldn't help me, frame is distorted - paid 50 € for nothing (ok shifting is better now). Got in contact with Fairlight. I hope they will respond. Still can't believe it.
That means they failed?I've had people try to cut through my garage doors. Fucking scum.
Where are you guys storing your bikes? I keep mine in the apartment on a rack with velosocks attached.
We have a garage that I hang the bikes up on hooks or wall racks. The garage has locks on the door and side door, plus security cameras. We live near a beach community that is notorious for bikes being stolen.
Cheers. They're all actually clean at the moment... except for the one I crashed on. =/

Wow sounds like Fort Knox ^_^ Better safe then sorry. Would do the same in this area.
I know a few people, who got their bikes stolen in the cellar, one downhill bike with multiple locks. If they come at night, nobody will hear them and it doesn't matter, if they need 5min or 30min to break the locks. Reason I put the new ones in the apartment.
Psychotext nice collection you have there!
High points and low points. At the moment I'm struggling to walk without pain, but oddly I'm doing OK on the trainer.Read your story, how are you at the moment, making progress? Wish you all the best!

Hoping to cycle again for the first time in six months soon... but we'll see how it goes.
