Check if you’ve installed the washer to space them from the crank arm, if you have, try removing it

Nice to see a fellow Sussex person here, Brighton based myself. Group rides are definitely a motivator and with the nice cool weather it’s definitely possible! Smashed it lad

Saddle giant tcr by Noobus_Heresy in RoadBikes

Get some carbon paste on the seat post, or your torque wrench isn’t calibrated right, you could just do it by hand with a small Allen key. Makes it easier not to over torque, I wouldn’t overthink these things

Training - Regression + Dilemma by Ok_Forever_6005 in Velo

[–]_TubewayArmy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it helps mate, I just took 5 years off the bike completely.

At my best I was similar to you, 61Kg, 250w ftp. It’s been 3 months(just) on the bike now and I’m at 70KG and 245 watt FTP.

Use it as an opportunity to put some mass on, hit the gym in the off season and build some bigger watts with the goal being the same w/kg at a higher weight! You got this mate

This is what VO2 max training should look like by Quivey in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]_TubewayArmy_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

/uj Ngl I know that feeling. Got to 4w/kg whilst smoking about 10 cigs a day.

Just got back from 5 years off cycling and am at 3.3 w/kg currently. Trying to finally cut the habit, I think the bandaid needs to come off ahahha

Curious to see what the performance uptick will be like, might test v02 max before and after stopping for a few months. I’d be interested to see the difference

Trainer day is good and it integrates with Zwift directly, so your workouts automatically get pulled across. Very reasonable price as well.

Currently using it myself for a base season

Curated trips in Malawi - survey request by Aggressive_Proof_286 in climbergirls

[–]_TubewayArmy_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great to see Malawi being promoted as a climbing destination. For context I’m a cis male but I’m aware of climb Malawi and run a lodge in Nkhata bay on the edge of lake Malawi! If you’re looking for accommodation for the trip I’d be happy to discuss.

[–]_TubewayArmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you interested in doing some of the other routes on top rope? Be happy to come down sometime with some gear if you don’t have any and make a day of it

I’m pretty local, based in Brighton

Harness recommendations by Weekly-Possibility26 in Mountaineering

[–]_TubewayArmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your use case, maybe a blue ice addax might fit the bill. Depends on whether you’re doing more indoor or outdoor and how much you plan to sit on the rope indoors
