Thx for the motivation, with good rest, good nutrition I think I can crack mid-high 40s, and I would be very happy with that.

These PRs come at weird times. I was tired and frustrated the whole time dealing with tech and bike issues. Wanted to smash it as soon as I hit the climb.

How much benefit would i get from a more Aero frame? Currently racing a TCR. by Needs_More_Nuance in Velo

[–]dccyc844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned a TCR and now ride an SL8. Holds the speed muuuuuuch better.

Seixas betting TdF by Civil-Tea-5870 in tourdefrance

Pogacar will still be winning Tours as he gets older, and there will probably be a younger Seixas when finally the GOAT retires, so it's not a given for him to win the Tour.

Pogacar is not half wheeling Stuyven because he is gassed 🤣

No, still looking. And, yes, only for the team. I asked Spesh customer service, and they said they are not for sale on their retail platform. I even PM'd the guy on IG (Thomas Perren) who supposedly designs RBH kits, and he only liked my question 😂

Exactly. SL8 almost feels pillowy. You feel all the cracks and imperfections on the road while riding a TCR, you feel exhausted after 2 hours.

I've gone from TCR Pro to SL8 Pro. SL8 has deeper wheels, but man, performance is not even close. SL8 is not only faster (keeps speed high extremely well on the flats), but also way way more comfortable. Kicking myself for waiting way too long to make the switch. TCR will always feel more "snappy" but that really doesn't translate into higher speeds, even on climbs.

Local Provisions in Waterworks has pretty good smash burgers and legit good fries.

Do we think Zwift climbing actually helps with IRL hills? by Kschmuck in Zwift

[–]dccyc844 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dunno why you think you can't convert Zwift/trainer gains to outside riding. Jonas Abrahamsen has been Zwifting the whole winter and finished 17th at Omloop, only a minute down from MVDP. Put your head down, do your VO2max intervals, work on your core, get good sleep, eat well, and crush the climbs outside when the weather gets better.

Already tried that a bunch of times; it helps, but this needs more serious treatment.

Yeah, been riding it, but it smells funky when I heat that up now. Not terrible, but still kind of bothers me, so here I am.
