What is the expected/usual vibe in $ for a race of this length? I am new here

Well if they are running 55t + chainrings in TT's partly to stay in the middle of the cassette, and people put on OSPW, wrapping your chain around a 10t and having a small front ring does not sound like the optimal combo. You are right though it is probably only milliwatts.

The difference between the 10t and 11t is quite impressive. Running a 38 11 is similar to a 34-10 (3.45 vs 3.4). Running a 36-10 gives you almost the same ratio as a 40-11. I have found the move from 11 to 10 on my gravel bike pretty impressive, and I was considering moving up a chainring size before but now I am pretty happy. Now don't get me started on the drivetrain inefficiencies of running a smaller front ring or a smaller cog on the back...

No, I am now in university and weigh 10kg less

You can count me in the numbers too because I had the casquette... Right @Pure Savage??

And by fun a I mean PAIN IN THE RAIN but a cool experience

Not too bad actually. I think we got really lucky with the conditions and I would 100% do it again in those conditions (and 100% not spend as much energy as I did early on haha). The one bottle strategy worked well for 2h15 ish

Well that was fun

SAKOLONEWOLFKETO7 WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION

Depends how you define it... He has a disc brake gravel bike, he is tubeless because he does not have any tubes, and his power meter is if he can hang on to the wheel in front of him

I knew about w/kg because I was always trying to have the best w/kg for our ergs... I could never have the best watts though. And Strava was for my running and 3 kudos

NOT ME

Okay... I am not sure what tether you guys are using but mine takes about 15s to take on and off and I switch between my gravel and road bike almost daily. It takes longer to calibrate my power meter haha

But they saved three grams... And then another 100g when they ditched the Garmin

Virgin Klippies and coke without the coke. On the rocks. With Banana and Peanut Butter

Looks like the road race might be more fun on my gravel bike... haha.

don't you dare

Only 48 other people have suggested tubeless in the last 48 hours. @Pure Savageyou should try Tubolito

You should try tubeless

Is there not a pill for that?

I think I am just going to chill on my Cannondale for now. I would prefer the 3T but I have other financial priorities at the moment... Haha

And by undecided, you mean you thought it was fugly... I really like it.
