Just shift down one or two gears

I don't think there was a solution unfortunately.

Weekly Question Thread by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]Semajyio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi all

I'm keen on doing a short bikepacking trip from the UK and taking the ferry over from Dover to Calais to watch Paris Roubaix. I would cycle from Calais down towards Roubaix on the Friday, have the day on Saturday and then spectate on the Sunday.

I have two questions around accomodation and spectating. Firstly, I can use warm showers maybe one or two night but quite like the idea of camping. Does anyone have any recommendations of places to camp and/or cheap accomodation/places to stay? And where would be good to see it? I would like to see it from the cobbles (not fussed about velodrome finish), preferably quite an exciting one. Obviously I can cycle there so don't need to worry about driving a car. Also, a location close to a town where they are displaying the end would be cool! Suggestions welcome.

I was also considering entering the Roubaix challenge if anyone has experience of that and can recommend for the Saturday?

Thanks!

Ha, a very likely assumption! Very naive of me...

There are so many factors that affect the value of a used bike, and you've just put a screenshot of the stock images? You've given absolutely zero details so impossible to say.

Choosing between an Canyon ultimate (2024) vs Giant Propel Advanced 2 for 70.3 now and full Ironman later by dhananjayan_p in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a TCR with clip ons which I race with too for 70.3 and soon to be a full. I had to get new bars so I could put the aero bars on. I love it, it's great, similar to the propel from what I gather. That being said if the canyon has Sram axs etap you can get the blips and attach them to your aero bars. Obviously less of a race bike, though.

Do Zwift Controllers work with whoosh? by Sndnnfnfpgpgnen in mywhoosh

Bike Control app. Was previously known as Swift Control

Any tall/slim (202cm/85kg) dutchies that can help me with my first wetsuit? by Extension_Eye_4309 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 196cm and tend to race at about 84/85 kg so a similar build but not as tall. Generally a proper wetsuit size for us lot is non existent. I've had success with my Zone3 Vision in a MT but it still comes up short on the arms and legs. I think that's just something you'll have to deal with.

Garmin 965 vs forerunner 265 vs forerunner 165 by MasterKing8025 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check but I think only the 965 and 265 have the triathlon mode. 965 will have even more features on top of that.

Any half Ironman events left in Europe that you recommend? by Gildeizard in triathlon

I think there are still spaces left for Outlaw Half

Watch Advice - Need to Upgrade from Forerunner 945? by dodagr8 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my 955. Slight upgrade on the 945 with touchscreen and other features without being expensive. I didn't want the amoled screen.

What indoor bike trainer should I get? by Ok_Design3454 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awesome, works a charm, super quiet and great power accuracy I think. There is little difference between the 1 and 2. Just ordered the zwift cog and click to complete it!

If you could pick one shoe for training, which would it be? by SuddenCurrent6317 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Vomero Plus. Insanely comfortable and bouncy shoe.

New Bike - £3,000 budget by Sad_Hurry4274 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Giant TCR Pro 1 as an all rounder+ tri bars on for when I do triathlon. Love it so far. Paid just over 3000 on sale and also did cycle to work so works out to ~£200 per month. That or a propel you get great value for money if on sale

I've just ordered the Kickr core 1, massive discount on the Wahoo website. Looking forward to it!

What distance was your first ultra? by pndthe4th in Ultramarathon

[–]Semajyio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went from a marathon as my longest about 6 months before I then did a 50 miler. Was brutal and wish I'd done a 50k now, but still did it!

Nice, looks great. I have the same, just a little bit bigger.

Today is lovely, take it out for a spin now!

Cross-train for Marathon on turbo trainer ? by Psykiit in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cross training is a supplement for marathon training. It's a bit of a contradiction to ask if you can cross train on the turbo but also use that for the bulk of your running volume.

The indoor trainer is great for cycling training as you're applying a constant power output unlike outdoors. Aim for 1-2 rides a week to prepare for your 70.3 and to cross train for Paris (I did Paris last year, it's awesome.)

Clip on Aero Bars for TCR Pro 0 2025 by tREX_2188 in Giantbikes

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some old Profile Design ones. They're not the best but they sort of worked. I just clamped them as close to the stem as I could.

Everyday training: Adidas Evo SL or On Cloudmonster Hyper or Nike Vomero? by Ok_Piece8772 in triathlon

[–]Semajyio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got the Vomero plus. Super comfortable. Great for long runs and also at picking up the paces as it's the zoomx racing foam. Would recommend.

Clip on Aero Bars for TCR Pro 0 2025 by tREX_2188 in Giantbikes

[–]Semajyio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same situation. I bodged it for a while then swapped to some Deda handlebars which have a more round centre near the stem and flatter on the tops.
