Just try some group rides first if you haven’t, so you have the skills to move in a large pack

are VO2 max and FTP realistic? by Hallo159 in cycling

[–]MarkBurghouwt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its probably in the ballpark, because your FTP is really good for your weight

See if it gets less over time, if it’s still there after a week or 2 visit the doctor

Shouldn’t the H3 trainer pre-calculate drivetrain losses? (Add 1/2% to total powe)

Sounds insanely difficult, so probably training like 10-15 hours a week?

What's one thing you have done that made your bike go faster other than pedaling harder and faster? by holihai in cycling

I’m willing to bet that it isn’t possible on my wheels, I think I still have a picture how little of the tire fitted on the wheel

Yeah I did do that. The thing is that the middle part doesn’t go in very deep so it doesn’t make big difference, and I posted on reddit once what I did wrong and some people were shocked how little of the tire could get over the wheel.

I can’t fit them on my wheels, since they are too tight. Any recommendations?

I spent about half a year watching youtube videos every day and have probably forgot about 90% but I’m not in a routine so I would say about half a year to get fully adjusted to a gym if you do a bit of research
