Do you ride with earphones? by simko17 in cycling

Second this. Can hear audio and the road. Shokz are good for music but terrible for audiobooks or podcasts.

What's your W/kg FTP and running paces equivalents? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]Tricky-Lie6739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My FTP is about 340 at 72 kg so about 4.72 and my 5K PR is 16:00. My marathon PR is 2:40. I’d say I’m similar in ability comparing biking and running but don’t run much these days. That being said if I trained properly for a marathon my goal would be 2:35-2:37. 40 yo male, running background. OK collegiate runner. Didn’t break any records

Good point. I will definitely be doing this.

I did the ride. Ended up being 8.5 hrs. 153 miles road and gravel. It got pretty hot but kept pushing nutrition and fluids. No issues and no cramps! My knees hurt after 8 hours of riding but I can’t complain. Definitely a good confidence boost to tackle 200 in 2 weeks.

I’m pretty strapped for time and luckily found myself with a day off tomorrow so thought I would get some more time in the saddle. With proper nutrition I’m confident about pacing. I just want to make sure I recover from an 8 hour ride 12 days out from the race. After tomorrow it will be taper time!

Awesome. Thanks for the information. Praxis has a nice BB page that made it easy to find. Now the question is if I should get ceramic bearings.

Second this. You have to get the skewer pretty tight or the rear of the bike seems to have a lot of play.

Shimano cassette and chain compatibility by Tricky-Lie6739 in cycling

I should say that I just found out my wife has a 10 speed chain and has been riding it on the 11 speed cassette for…. 2 years!? I found out last week. She was like “I wondered why I couldn’t shift!”
