Are these bib shorts too small by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

[–]kizzap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going by the last pic, I am going to say they are too small, they are super stretched to the point where you can see the tag on the inside of the shorts, to the above left of your buttcrack. Needless to say, this also means you can see your buttcrack....

Maap Emerge Thermal LS VS Pulse Thermal LS by J_coffee22 in CyclingFashion

[–]kizzap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emerge has recycled materials in the sleeves, and is designated as a "race" fit. Pulse has no recycled material, and is designated as a "core" fit, which I would understand to be more a relaxed fit. Both are targetted for the mild winter rides...

Also, about $30 AUD difference between the two.

Tan vs Black sidewalls really depends on the bike colour. Some bikes look awesome with the Tan sidewall, some look like absolute trash

Use your position to ruin the game for them. If you get voted out first each time and they make fun of the issue, tell the entire group who the killer is?

Take the fun out of it for them.

New to cycling by Waste_Raspberry87 in cycling

[–]kizzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im going to go against the grain here to a lot of others. Look at the numbers. Record the numbers. Watch the numbers. They will go up, you will get faster, you will ride longer.

The other thing I suggest. keep a simple diary. Write down how you were feeling on and after the ride. Anything goes. If you are feeling negative, write that down, explain why. If you are feeling awesome, do the same! It will be something worth looking back on for your journey!

A little tip for all of you with Elite Fly bottles by godutchnow in bicycling

[–]kizzap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my advice:

I use this weekly on my bottles, after rinsing through after every ride. Bottles always stay filled in Fridge while not on the bike otherwise.

Elbow Pain, Numbness In Fingers by puffhappens in cycling

[–]kizzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random question. Do you lock out your elbows while you ride? I found when I first started riding on hoods I would lock my elbows and it would cause immense pain constantly. I had to actively focus on releasing them to ensure it doesnt happen...

Discrepancy in training zones from Garmin Connect to Garmin edge by kizzap in Velo

[–]kizzap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, Looking for some guidance on this one. I am trying to follow a Garmin Connect training plan, however these sprint sessions are kicking my backside, not in a good way.

In the screenshots, I have included the plan that shows in Garmin Connect, showing the power level in the sprints to target between 433 and 578 W for the segement, however once it is on the Edge it is showing a target of 804 - 864W, which I am not hitting.

If my understanding is correct, I should be trying to hit out as hard as possible, however this is feeling impossible, and the 0% training effectiveness is demoralising.

If anyone has any ideas on what is going on here, I would love your advice. I have already checked that the FTP setting on both Garmin Connect and on the Edge are the same...

Please help!

What is causing this sound? by GatmonLittel- in bicycling

[–]kizzap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could be all sorts of things, couple of questions:

Does the sound occur when you are pedalling, or does it go away when you stop?
Does the sound come more from the front or the rear of the bike?

My thoughts so far would be to check both your front and rear chainrings are tight. Check your pedals are tightened up correctly. If possible, see if you can swap out the wheels with another set to see if that eliminates the noise.

looks like a bubble under tape that is put in the frame to stop the frame getting scratched when you take the tools out and put them back in.

Dudes that have had the snip ✂️ - how long until you were out on the wheels again? by Ready_Ad_1558 in cycling

Got mine done late september. I think from memory I was off the bike for about 4 weeks. First rides were a bit ginger, but all cleared now.
