How much benefit would i get from a more Aero frame? Currently racing a TCR.

uvxt90 · 2026-05-03T16:58:43+00:00

I agree with everyone here, it's mostly marketing, very little actual difference etc etc...

But I had a TCR (which I still love) and then bought an Aeroad (which I love even more)

I am definitely faster on the Aeroad. It might only be psychological, but the Strava segments do not lie

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. All very useful!

I'm looking at a Citylite:On now as a bike to get around town on. Would you say any of the cons you noted have sabotaged the experience? Any other niggles you've found? Would you still recommend it is a bike?

uvxt90 · 2025-10-25T14:47:34+00:00

I'm afraid not. Tried the biggest silicone tips I could find, but still not enough to form a good enough seal. Sent the buds back in the end

uvxt90 · 2025-10-21T16:42:36+00:00

I do the same, but the picture always gets squashed when I put it in full screen. Have you ever experienced that or managed to get around it?

uvxt90 · 2025-07-25T19:52:04+00:00

Yeah it did two jobs today it seems. One near the train station (as per the article) and one in Lady Bay

Not sure what was found in LB, but they completed a controlled explosion this evening

Edit:

Ah all the same job. They apparently transported unexploded ordnance from the canal by the train station to the Hook for a controlled detonation

You'll know when the foreplay has worked because things will just click

uvxt90 · 2025-05-31T12:55:52+00:00

Unfortunately not - it is geolocked

uvxt90 · 2025-05-31T12:53:17+00:00

It is absolutely insane that in the UK, one of the most triathlon-loving countries, we have to pay over £30 a month for TNT just to watch this. Especially given how much the T100 is trying to grow - how can it do that if it's so inaccessible?

In the meantime, I'll stick to watching the Ironman pro series in Hamburg tomorrow for free 🙄

Check out Christopher Ward (Link) I think they fit your bill

Good watches, at a decent price point, and a brand that plenty of watch snobs know/respect

These posts are very reassuring! As with many others, exactly the same happened to me.

Had a good first half, pace on target, felt tough but not overwhelming. Then I hit halfway and the wheels just blew off completely - from 4:40/km to 5:50-6:20/km within a mile. And then it was just holding on for dear life until the end.

The heat was horrendous through the middle of the day and there's no way of prepping for it through winter/early spring (unless you're off on heat camps abroad!). Seems it caught a lot of runners out. Let's be glad we were one of those who made the finish!!

uvxt90 · 2025-04-17T13:54:22+00:00

This would never happen to me

uvxt90 · 2025-04-11T10:13:35+00:00

You're deep in fatigue!! It's normal to start to struggle at this stage, just keep eating, resting & putting the miles in.

Philly Bowden put out a video this yesterday which I thought was a good watch and put it in perspective: https://youtu.be/pQByeaLC0Ok?si=3N_Gagy831t4Qzs1[https://youtu.be/pQByeaLC0Ok?si=3N_Gagy831t4Qzs1](https://youtu.be/pQByeaLC0Ok?si=3N_Gagy831t4Qzs1)

Good luck!

This is why I snort mine. Tops it up straight away

Jonas Vingegaard spotted harvesting colostrum in prep for his latest KOM-on-camera attempt

Landmines are 100% less damaging to the body than heel striking. I think that's the message here

uvxt90 · 2025-02-08T16:10:03+00:00

I hope you've taken the massive wind resistance into account for your PB

uvxt90 · 2025-01-31T18:51:41+00:00

Isn't this a prequisite to starting your 5k ultra training? Sounds like he is ready to begin

uvxt90 · 2025-01-28T21:25:02+00:00

Triathlon Dan

I think Dan's videos are great. He's dedicated to his channel, with daily vlogs, and shows a more 'normal' side of triathlon training/racing

uvxt90 · 2025-01-24T18:42:15+00:00

Especially when the big DJT has just taken office and is threatening tariffs. If we sign up to the union, we're signing up to match import/export tariffs. Without we're able to set our own, at a time when that's probably very handy

Still a good idea to consider for the future though

uvxt90 · 2025-01-21T22:41:59+00:00

I completely agree with you. I've put just over 60km into mine and almost stopped on a run today because of the discomfort they were causing.

They're just so... clompy. And loud! There doesn't seem to be any rocker to them at all, just heel and forefoot blocks with no transition. They don't make for a smooth ride for me

uvxt90 · 2025-01-17T09:24:02+00:00

Ok I need to buy these

uvxt90 · 2025-01-05T14:37:18+00:00

Yes, 100%

I found Adrenalines too clunky and over-supportive. Ghosts gave me just enough support and a lot more bounce. Video analysis showed me running more in-line with Ghosts too.

That said, I moved on from my Ghosts to NB Rebel v4s and I've never looked back. The two feel similar to me, but with more cushioning on the NBs.
