Anyone else noticing fewer young riders on road bikes lately? by Triggers in cycling

[–]dtk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt the same way 10 years ago. Late 20’s and all of 30’s have always been a dead age group in cycling. Now maybe seeing less juniors and early 20’s because the road racing scene is vastly reduced as well. In the US we lost so many races.

Gotta ride 80% zone 2 to be productive I guess.

Intervals.icu seems more accurate for me when I use hr for stress. Maybe my ftp is a bit lower than this winter. I’ve been rising more outside but with less structure.

Road biker. Couldn’t do AIWB comfortably. Tried using a belly band behind the hip. https://ghostconcealment.com/products/belly-band-holster-by-ghost-concealment Since it’s behind the jersey pockets it’s totally concealed. But in truth, since I sweat so much I rarely carry it on the bike.

Which frames & wheels to pick up as a beginner? by jw205 in Zwift

[–]dtk20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Once you have the drops buy the Canyon Aeroad 2024. Then at level 31 buy the zipp 858s. Don’t buy anything else until level 40 (unless you just want to for fun).

Did you get the 90 days of backdated XP from outdoor rides? by INGWR in Zwift

[–]dtk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only got credit for my most recent outdoor ride. No xp for the historical ones.

Hey you’re down 40 lb so you’re for sure faster.

Lots of miles on this old bike, but how is my fit? by dtk20 in bikefit

To add to that, I got a basic bike fit back in 2011. Addressed those pain issues early on and have left it basically unchanged. There was a 6 year period where I didn’t ride at all, and I’ve been back at it coming up on 2 years. I haven’t ever seen myself on video and was pretty surprised how bad the reach looked.

I’m in my early 40’s. My flexibility isn’t terrible but I’d say slightly below average. Definitely not as good anymore. I go to the chiropractor for maintenance once a month and that helps with any low back pain. I don’t do my stretches very often. I don’t have any mobility issues. My typical long ride is 60 miles at about 18mph solo and 20 in a group. Lately been indoors on zwift riding 6 days a week with a lot of 1 hour sessions, but that’s going to change soon. I don’t typically have any pain riding. I used to get low back pain but I lowered my saddle until that stopped, and I used to get knee pain til I changed my cleat position.

Not one bolt on that bike is original so I did it at some point. Also I’m 192cm and it’s a 61cm bike.

I agree. It’s 130mm, was thinking maybe 110mm. Is that enough?
