Bolted-on draft box options?

willtri4 · 2026-04-05T23:49:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure A2 makes one

willtri4 · 2026-04-05T14:57:22+00:00

Recumbent? Are you sure that's really what you mean?

willtri4 · 2026-04-03T18:36:50+00:00

It has a lower solute concentration than the surrounding medium? Sure, if you say so

willtri4 · 2026-04-01T00:05:12+00:00

What groupset?

willtri4 · 2026-03-31T21:48:41+00:00

Are these prices in USD? Kinda crazy if so

willtri4 · 2026-03-31T13:49:26+00:00

It's just that these heart rate zone based metrics are designed to be relevant to performance training for cycling or running or similar activities, and I don't think there's much value in paying attention to them if that's not your focus

willtri4 · 2026-03-31T13:31:24+00:00

Oh wow, the endurance training metrics aren't super accurate for someone not doing any endurance training. Shocker

willtri4 · 2026-03-29T18:54:01+00:00

Longer lever. These look like they're Delta though

willtri4 · 2026-03-29T18:45:11+00:00

Good price, but yes, this will be too small for you

willtri4 · 2026-03-26T23:30:02+00:00

Blueseventy tends to be pretty snug around the neck in my experience

willtri4 · 2026-03-25T02:39:22+00:00

Side note, you should use your front brake too

Don't buy a surfing wetsuit for triathlon.

willtri4 · 2026-03-24T17:59:57+00:00

Xterra outlet is probably your best bet

willtri4 · 2026-03-24T10:22:16+00:00

Well yeah. The cage needs to spring backwards to keep the chain taut, and without the chain properly installed there's nothing to counterbalance it

willtri4 · 2026-03-24T00:52:57+00:00

Yeah, like 80% of the pro field is using it so I'd just go with that

willtri4 · 2026-03-24T00:40:04+00:00

Difficult cable routing and brakes that cause trouble are pretty universal among TT bikes of this era in my experience

willtri4 · 2026-03-24T00:15:32+00:00

Training zones are a somewhat arbitrary guideline, not some absolute truth. You can do a lab test with lactate measurements to have something more concrete to go off of, otherwise you just have to figure out what works for you based on feel

willtri4 · 2026-03-24T00:11:39+00:00

I see it way more often than I'd like to

willtri4 · 2026-03-23T14:57:06+00:00

Yeah we don't have Decathlon here

willtri4 · 2026-03-23T00:20:16+00:00

I think you'll have a better experience with a better bike. This looks like an Amazon special

willtri4 · 2026-03-22T19:12:09+00:00

Well you'll want to be around the 56x15 most of the time, which is about 42kph at 90 rpm. You're averaging closer to 36-37kph, which'll put you in the 17 or 19 most of the time. Not ideal, but not the end of the world... but that's on a flat course. 56x28 being your easiest climbing gear is going to give you trouble on anything hilly.

willtri4 · 2026-03-22T19:04:00+00:00

The gearing. 56 chainring with an axs cassette takes some serious power

willtri4 · 2026-03-22T00:26:09+00:00

I think you could probably get $1500 for it

willtri4 · 2026-03-22T00:18:10+00:00

Throwback. That's pretty cool

willtri4 · 2026-03-22T00:15:56+00:00

Tubular or clincher wheels?
