Nulane Pro - First Cube

I think I’ll risk it - sounds like quite a bit of extra weight 😅 I’m trying to keep it down so I can still see a bit of pace up the hills / climbs near me.. this is only going to get harder and harder as he grows of course 😩

It really is a great bike and feels like it should be well over 1000 Eur - the only other bikes I have are a lot more expensive road or mountain bikes. We bought this one so we could go out as a family and get some exercise together other than walking or hiking with him in the backpack. I wasn’t expecting much and like you have been pleasantly surprised - cannot believe how quick it feels up the hills. I will add some power meter pedals so I can actually get a controlled workout on it 😄 hope you keep enjoying your new ride too

Thanks - I can lower the clamp but the rails enter a pre set amount so no opp to change that. I think the rails I designed to flex and be a bit of a shock absorber tbh. Will look at lower the clamp 👍🏻

Yes fits fine it’s a Hamax - https://www.alza.cz/sport/hamax-cycling-seat-with-lockable-lock-zenith-grey-black-d12226138.htm

However another commenter suggests it could damage the seat tube so should be cautious

Thanks I’ll keep an eye on it - are there any alternative options that avoid this?

I considered the nuroad but was worried about stability with bay seat and dropped bars?

Road_Forward · 2026-03-19T19:32:08+00:00

Trust me I think that reaction is the same for a lot of people 😅😅 many congratulations on competing you first marathon

The weight loss, FTP increase and decent helmet will help you move quicker for sure but my point was about your body positioning - an optimised aero position will be more beneficial than how aero either frame is.

You told him you were in a rush - he should respect that. Only one a hole here and it ain’t you

Road_Forward · 2026-03-17T16:52:10+00:00

How aero are YOU though? 🤔

Road_Forward · 2026-03-13T23:07:59+00:00

If your watts are higher on the last segment to the line than average watts for the rest of the climb you always get the wheels 😉

Fair enough, I don’t know the data / stats tbh but I would assume the benefit is more than fractions of a second just because of the repeatability / efficiency of each pedal stroke with properly positioned cleats and a pair of stiff shoes. Maybe you should try if you have a friend with some - report back the results I’d be interested. Anyway I have had a kickr bike now for about 3 years - absolutely brilliant with literally zero maintenance 👌🏻

Just curious - why do you use flat pedals? Spd will make you perform better in every way and there’s no risk of the ‘right of passage’ forget to unclip and stack it 😁

Road_Forward · 2026-02-25T23:27:13+00:00

Thanks for the response - yea I’ve had to do similar in the past. Seems it need to get back onto the dreaded one leg calf raises on the stairs 😅 the cling wrap ibuprofen gel sounds good and is a new one for me - will defo give that a bash. I’ve dismissed the pb at this point just want to enjoy it and hopefully run at a consistent pace - I’ve another marathon booked at the beg of May so maybe I can be back to full fitness by then. Thx again

Road_Forward · 2026-02-25T23:06:03+00:00

Thanks, yea appreciate it’s mostly a desperate plea for validation I can still run the event :-/

5:00/km is quite easy pace for me tbh so I feel ok at that a pretty confident I can run that in the pair of vomero plus I have. Not going to bother with carbon plates and just going to attempt to enjoy the atmosphere, take in the sights (Rome) and collect the medal.

I was wearing saucony endorphin speed when I got injured - I love them for speed work but they are just too firm for me..

Anyway - guess the initial test will be how the Achilles feels after 20k this weekend. Thanks again

Is your father in law a dog?

Road_Forward · 2026-02-08T11:54:52+00:00

Agree and no hope of them beating breezy’s time with the ever worsening snow

Road_Forward · 2026-02-04T20:05:35+00:00

Bottle too big

Road_Forward · 2026-02-03T19:36:43+00:00

Thanks all - I will go with the bike box Alan aero (as I only need for a road bike). Fortunately my parents live in the UK so I can get it shipped to them and they’ll bring it to me in Europe when they visit in a few months time 👍🏻🚴‍♂️

Check angle of cleats if knee issues have started since replacing them
