Ya – good question. I used yellow for a long time and then had a pair of blue ones lying about so I threw them on and honestly didn’t notice a lot of difference so I’ve stuck with them. I have observed that my pedal stroke is fairly linear up and down without a lot of wandering knee or ankle movement. I expect that I’d be fine with…

“Wearing long sleeve jerseys and leg warmers signals to us that the fight for peak form is behind us and our rides now have a sense of insouciance about them; it is freeing to embrace the lack of structure to our rides. We ride, once again, simply for the pleasure of riding.”
This sums it up for me – quite nicely I might add.
I’ve really noticed…

@Ben Hunt
There most definitely is a certain amount of cool reflected in the posting of EPIC rides with the default name. One of my riding mates completed a 325 km slog on one of the hottest days of the year a few weeks back and there it was on Strava – “Morning Ride”…
“That fucker”, I thought to myself.

Oh – I suppose I did miss the point of the conversation. Brett, you have my sincerest apologies.
I suppose that makes me the daft prick – fair enough. On the actual point of the conversation….Froome abusing the Yellow Jersey….I am in full accord with your comments.
Carry on gentlemen. I have some hill repeats to attend to…

Well I certainly wasn’t going to let the fat bastard drop me…just took a little longer to reel him in and slide past him before the top of the hill. I was however appreciative of the effort and was happy to provide him with a larger than normal draft so that he could get his shit together once over the hill.

Love it!
There was a big fella on the club ride on Saturday that was a pure marvel – guessing he would go 225lbs or so and he absolutely crushed hills with a cadence usually reserved for track riders and hummingbirds. Looked like he had a 32 on the back and as soon as the roads turned skyward his legs would start to blur and off he’d go!

I think everyone has a self selected sweet spot for cadence – mine is 93 rpm +/- a couple of spins per minute.
I also think it is a good idea to force yourself to work either side of your sweet spot on a regular basis so that you can adapt to whatever the road may throw at you. When you turn the pedals slower you’re leaning on leg muscles and…

I like to spin but I also like the look of a tidy cassette.
Living in Toronto allows me to get away with a traditional setup on my number one.
#1 has a 53-39 paired with a SRAM 11/26 – an interesting compromise that I don’t think Shimano duplicates. This bike is 10 speed.
#2 has a 52-36 paired with an 11/28 but I’ve also picked up an 11/25 that…
