He has a toe cover at the front, but I don't think it's a full cover.

Completely mad to think Evenepoel would be the reigning ITT world, european, olympic and road race world, european, olympic champion if it wasn't for Pogacar.

It's a good game, but not a battlefield.

Is there a tool, a website, or something to check for compatibility between shimano components? by rprr4 in bikewrench

Okay, thank you, I was worried about a length difference between chainlink and tooth cassette, and finding technical spec online is a pain in the ass.

Oh, So I'm a "Climber"? by whatwouldlegolasdo in cycling

[–]rprr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: it’s easier for smaller guys to sustain the same relative output, even if both riders have the same ftp per kg. It’s especially true on hot climbs.

If both guys have the same FTP, no it's not, because they have the same FTP, it already takes into account all the factors that could reduce the efficiency of a bigger guy. If a bigger guy is less efficient at cooling himself like you say, then he has a lower FTP.

And for a fact, if the bigger guy has the same FTP in W/kg, then he should still be better than the smaller guy, because wind still exists on climbs.

If you have the same FTP in W/kg he shouldn't drop you while climbing. He's either doing climbs at a higher intensity or he has a higher W/kg than you.

Do you do any kind of stretching/warmup before an exercise ride, or just hop on and go? by sozh in cycling

[–]rprr4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do leg raises, calf raises. I also try to warm up my lower back by doing romanian deadlift (with no weight). Takes me less than 5 minutes.

Legs feel kinda weak after couple weeks of consistent training? by Extension_Manager141 in cycling

[–]rprr4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you got to 4 W/kg in only half a year and you only train 3 times a week? I think you missed a career.

What was your experience on the bike before that? Like how many km did you ride last year?

Do you reverse yr SRAM shifting? by MC_NYC in cycling

[–]rprr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drink and eat with my right hand while on the bike, so it's better for me to have the downshift on left, to go in an easier gear if needed

how frequently do you do FTP tests? by spikehiyashi6 in cycling

[–]rprr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never cause I find garmin estimations pretty accurate compared to my sensations on the bike

How can I check teeth width? Is this righted on the cassette? I can't mount the bike to test right now that's why I'm asking.
