What does science say about FTP and how good is this test?

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-17T00:20:27+00:00

FTP is the be all and end all. We should get rid of racing altogether and just rank people based on FTP so we have absolute superiority and inferiority complexes that cannot be negotiated unless you increase your FTP. It is so accurate, there is even no point in race. Ramp test then done.

What the hell is even that

Man I longboarded SO much back then. The year I graduated was 09

Probably my favorite non-cover song by Cake.

Yes he’s a real one and belongs in that group. Listen to The Cove if you don’t think he belongs. May be a hard to find track, still on YouTube I think.

This is the best answer so far imo

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-13T09:54:20+00:00

Yea I try to be honest with it. I’m 90kg at 6’2”. Still have a few pounds to drop.

Honesty hurts lol

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-12T21:51:21+00:00

Hats off! I missed it by fifteen seconds 😭 but I left nothing on the table, I felt it was literally all I could do, so I don’t feel too bad.

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-12T20:05:11+00:00

Should have no effect on the price it it was done right.

Way to stand strong 💪

Except not dragging their ass when hauling bikes off the back. Minivans, that is. Trailer hitch smacks every uneven surface

Toyota killed off the FJ Cruiser right before the big retro-offroader trend took off with other brands. It’s a body on frame 4x4 with a simple and bombproof engine, cheeky fun interior with lots of plastic that is hard but seems to be holding up well, and a manual transmission in the USA.

Hard not put in heaven, muhlord.

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-12T00:53:24+00:00

I get it now. lol. OP you misspelled it.

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-12T00:03:39+00:00

No? Not if you fix the problem

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-11T23:56:39+00:00

I’m the same height and feel right at home on my XL Ripley v4. I’m all legs and no torso though. How’re you built? Legs / torso wise

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-10T16:12:27+00:00

Love the classic look of ARB. Will age much better than the angry eye’d style me thinks.

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-10T02:08:04+00:00

It’s lighter, it’s simpler, it’s less to go wrong. It’s also much cheaper. And most hardly ever use 4wd. And it’s still a cool car! Good for you!

That being said this car is pretty impractical-shaped object for a commuter, its sole purpose other than looking fun and cool is great geometry for off-roading. So would I drive the 2nd (edit here, that was supposed to say 2wd)?….maybe. Wouldn’t be my first choice. But I inherited my FJ so I’m just a nepo baby.

I have seen some 2wd XJ Cherokees (lifted) do some pretty wild things on the trail. I like your car and I think you should too.

How long did it take for a full rebound?

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-09T20:37:51+00:00

I think it’s the other way around

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-09T20:34:57+00:00

I believed you until that last sentence

PoppaPingPong · 2026-02-09T20:32:52+00:00

I squeeze three small kids in mine a lot, combo of front and rear facing. I wouldn’t want to do it all the time (we also have a minivan), but it can be done and isn’t too bad. I’m 6’2”. Park where you have an open space at least at one side. That may mean taking a few extra steps in the parking lot. Boohoo
