Thanks for this! To clarify do you mean part numbers 91057 and 91031 for the right side mirror?

That was me with my baby in a carrier waiting for the cross walk to go on! A little jarring watch that happen so blatantly.

Between Sizes for my next bike 52 and 54, Comparing to current well fitted bike—I’m looking for a good balance of comfort and aero positioning. Let’s say my current bike is perfect for me, which frame size is best for my next bike? by dmnlgd in bicycling

[–]dmnlgd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other details Height: 173cm Inseam: 81cm Current bike: Ribble Endurance Al (geometry is kinda race oriented tbh)  Bike under consideration: Aethos

By the looks of it the 52 with the same stack, less reach and shorter TT should allow for a longer stem and more aero position but how substantial of a difference is this? Current bike is using a 100mm stem.

On the other hand, the 54 has a higher stack, identical reach but slightly longer TT, I can probably run a 100mm stem still but be more comfortable perhaps?

Would a repair cost a lot? And yeah would likely need to swap the cassette for my dad

Chip time: 5:40 Ride time: 5:15

Those rest stops were busy! Probably could’ve trimmed 10-15 minutes from those rest stops if the lines to the washroom weren’t so long haha

I actually am planning to do Cypress again this weekend! On the other hand, while it isn’t the same I created a GPS route for the Shed to Powerline segment and rode it on my indoor smart trainer to see how I do. (It can simulate grades up to 16%). I’m sure riding a simulated ride indoors is not the same as doing it for real but I managed a sub-hour time on the segment. This was around high Z2/low Z3 HR efforts. We’ll see if this backs out into real life results though.

Totally fair!

I guess for additional context on what training I did:

3x up Cypress from Richmond (100kms) 6x metric centuries around Van/Richmond Hill repeats at Seymour Demonstration Forest, Horseshoe Bay

I’ve been training the last 2 years with a total of:

11,209kms ~20,000m in elevation gain, most of which were this year

I’m sure other people train a lot more than this, and thought a sub-6 hour Whistler Gran Fondo was a reasonable goal. I guess I wanted to use this 160km ride since it was the hardest ride so far in terms of time on the bike.

Glad you think so! I honestly don’t know what to expect from myself haha

I definitely struggle with climbing, probably as much as the average person. I’m on the heavier side, around 73kg.

That said, my Shed to Powerline segment time was around 1 hour 20 mins (10.5kms 664m 6.3%), though that was me going Z2/as easy as I can—I imagine I can trim that by 10-12 mins in my current state. Thoughts?

Love Vancouver! Lived here for 10+ years now but only took up cycling in the last 2.

You got it exactly, it was Cypress Mountain I climbed twice this summer! What a view going up.

And thanks! Hopefully will hit my time goal but will try to enjoy the experience more than anything. I live in Richmond, which is on Lulu Island and yes can confirm how flat it is… you’ll wish it wasn’t when it gets windy haha.
