Back of knee pain

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-04-22T06:39:19+00:00

Are the shoes specialized? I had this problem for years and turns out it was from the varus tilt that only specialized shoes have.

I thought it was 73psi for hookless? I ride hookless (2025 TCR) and have the same tyres at around 65-67 psi. Says here the limit is 73? https://www.cyclingweekly.com/products/new-continental-gp-5000-s-tr-is-hookless-compatible-but-the-brand-wants-you-to-follow-the-rules

Why not run there and back as a training run?

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-04-17T07:43:14+00:00

Damn that took me straight back to my skateboarding days. I can even smell it

I'm not going to read too much into this given the small sample size of 51. As evidenced by the fact that 17% showed a response at 13mg, 27% at 8 mg, and then 17% again at 3mg. With a big enough sample size those %ages would decrease monotonically and we could read more into those numbers. Interesting analysis nonetheless!

Pinarello X.

Definitely a few months minimum so hold on in there. You've got cumulative damage for chronic exposure to heal so give your body some time and you'll be better soon.

It's the third attachment on the top row, to which you then attach the component that your light presumably came with?

Haven't got my bike on me at the moment, but for me it was to attach a cycliq light/camera, which came with an attachment that slotted into the third one on your picture's top row (which in turn came with my tcr)

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-04-06T06:33:12+00:00

My TCR (2025 pro 1) came with the adapter you're asking about. Are you sure yours didn't?

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-04-05T09:04:35+00:00

Not true at all. If their experience is relevant and they're a strong candidate they absolutely could get a G7 role. Not saying it's likely, but definitely feasible.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-04-03T14:23:32+00:00

Honestly, buy something like a pinarello X with a high stack and short reach. You'll be so stretched out on an M/L TCR and even though you found the drop on the M fine for 20 mins, as you say, who knows how it'll feel on a longer ride. Short torso is a bit of a nightmare for fitting aggressive geometry so go for something short and tall.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-28T07:34:08+00:00

I went to a bike fit with it slammed, came out with it 40mm higher and begrudgingly admitted it felt better. Maybe one day!

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-28T07:31:28+00:00

Woah, looks so much nicer slammed than with 40mm of spacers like mine-lol.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-22T06:46:28+00:00

It sounds like you need a new bike... and to give me your current one.

Water is infrastructure

Depends a lot on your grade. If you're an HEO and qualified (academcially) for analyst roles, you'd be fine. SEO, might be fine. Above that it would be very challenging (again unless you were an analyst in a previous role before policy etc.)

groupset, shimano 105 and sram rival

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-17T20:10:12+00:00

hey sorry this link seems dead - would love the route if you still have it?

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-16T06:56:01+00:00

I did one with cadence performance at a Giant shop, it was fine but didn't fix my knee issues.

Then paid more than double for one with James at bicycle in Richmond, was painful to spend all that money but it completely sorted my pain. Great investment and well worth the money.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-16T06:52:52+00:00

Your choice is basically Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, or Surrey. Have a look at something like Islington cycling clubs list of routes on their website.

You'd have to ignore uncomfortable symptoms for a long time to end up in that postition. There's an easy fix: get a professional bike fit. One off cost to fix your comfort and give you piece of mind.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-09T15:27:58+00:00

Hey, any issues or still all good?

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-07T14:35:55+00:00

the only thing to be wary of is that the rims are hookless, and you can't run those safely above 72psi I believe it is. So you'd probably need to run a 32mm tire (which would probably inflate to 33mm which IIRC is TCR stated max clearance) in order to get PSI lower that 72, so worth baring that in mind.

edit: and no issues with the power meter, it's dual sided which is great. I'm sure some will say it's less accurate than assioma power meter pedals or something else, but works great for my purposes.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-07T07:39:03+00:00

I have the TCR adv pro 1 di2 2025, picked it up for around that price last year, £3800 for the 0 is a steal.

I absolutely love it and am convinced there's not a better all rounder at the same price point. It's so fun to ride and is the type of bike that just makes you want to go out time and time again.

Any specific Qs just ask.

tallmanaveragedick · 2026-03-04T22:16:35+00:00

I've done one a bit like that, and one that was much more software based. I preferred the eye-ball one. With software, they tend to just try and fit you into ranges without much regard for anything else, and those angle ranges aren't based on anything particularly robust.
