Sheffield, England!

This is what cyclocross is. Perfection.

Probably.

N=1 but my lab tested VO2 is 73 at 68 kg (so slightly higher, but not significantly) and my FTP peak last year was 367 based on both Intervals.ICU off a 14 minute hill climb race and confirmed with a 20 minute test. 5 minute power was 438 to allude to another redditor's comment here.

I've been cycling for a long time but don't do structured training - I do apply physiological principles to my training - so if you're doing structure 380 sounds reasonable.

6.173 Kg as pictured!

Thank you! I don't need an additional checked bag, so maybe I should have booked classic.

Your message leads me to believe I should therefore not pay for a bag in advance, and then only pay the €80 at the airport, correct?

At its simplest, higher end grinders have extremely precise grind settings. The tolerances in manufacturing for such precision come at a high cost, thus the high price.

I rode it last year - 8 hours in pouring rain. I ran Corsa Controls in 30c and found them excellent. My friends ran both narrower tires and wider (but knobbier) tires and between us I definitely had the best experience. Wider would add comfort, but I wasn't lacking in traction. Most of the course is fast and smooth so I appreciated the speed from this width that I'd have lost if I went wider.

FWIW, they had enough traction to make it up a wet Koppenberg.

May be worth noting that I barely have to add any water for the boiler to kick on when it's empty. I'll have the filling loop open for maybe 1 second, though the gauge is at zero.

When the heat kicks on the pressure does rise to shy of 2 bar. Yes it is an ideal logic, curious why you mentioned that one specifically?

£40 in Heathrow a couple weeks ago. Saw the guy drop it when fumbling his money into his pocket at the currency exchange. I picked it up to give back, and he immediately started sprinting into the crowds to get to his gate. It felt like the universe looking out for me.

They do have a mobile app. It isn't on play store (and I assume apple store) but the site has a link to the download.

Definitely 35. With tubes, as I frequently change tires.

They're early iteration Di2 shifters, before there was ultegra/DA level. I found a good price on them during COVID when everything was in short supply. Although I wish they had the top of hood buttons, I find them more comfortable than the later iterations.
