  1. Generally no - But i seen a lot of walkers and runners using the MTB trails, never had an issue with it as most move off the trail when they hear or see MTBers coming. In my view just share the trails Be Nice Have respect for other users Don't be a chop
  2. At 150 UK pounds I'll just sit an look at the picture
  3. Hey David How do i delete an activity off my calendar - When i do and IDT session the source is the TR app and my Garmin both of which upload to strava, I then delete the Garmin session off strava as i only use this for Disco points. In the past when i deleted a strava activity it automatically synced and deleted it of intervals as well - Now it seems to be not happening
  4. 100K limit doesn't help either I should have gone with my gut a few months back and dumped it into bitcoin when it was 46K
  5. For now its simply a parking spot, with no immediate purchases planned, I may need some in 12 odd months to partially finance a house when i get off my ass and sell my house to move to W/Cape The only problem i have with these digital banks which i never heard of - How secure are they ? ? The VBS bank comes to mind
  6. Never heard of them, i'll have to google it - I have a huge amount, like 6 figure amount, sitting in STD bank, maybe its time to find a new place to park it
  7. wow thats a good int rate on savings - I'm currently on 6.2% in STD Bank money market.
  8. Anyone know what the Disco bank interest rates are for their savings account ? is it tiered based on vitality level and amount ?
  9. What about adding some additional graphs to track FTP / Weight / De-coupling / HR Drift / PWR to HR etc Just an idea
  10. I run TR on a Gen2 Ipad with a Wahoo 30 pin ANT+ dongle. I recently tried to run this setup on my new Ipad with a 30 pin to Lightning adapter which doesn't work - It only works if i use the old 30 pin charging cable. But ANT+ = nada Reading up on the net it seems Apple no longer make these adapters and the generic ones don't work on ANT+, I was using a genuine one. Other than Blueteeth how does one connect to new Ipad with ANT+ ?
  11. Thank You David for all the work you done on this app. It's really turning out to be a helpful tool.
  12. The problem with us Nagoholics is that we sometimes allow our passion to surpass our wallets, we over capitalize on some of our builds, as a collector I don't buy them to resell. So the Thron isn't super collectible, but its a nice steel frame COLNAGO to add to a collection. I'm not sure what i would do in your situation other than probably throw more money at it to make it immaculate and original. Its a pity the paint job isn't exact as the headset lugs should be chrome as well as the right rear chainstay. I would also strip the RD and refurb back to new condition, if the cranks are Mirage like the rest of the gruppo then strip and polish up as well as the brake calipers. look for and ITM or genuine COLNAGO quill stem and strip and polish the handle bars. Then i would simply keep the bike, ride it every now and then and hang it in my ManCave.
  13. where do you find the route profile ?
  14. So it seems my Aerobic Endurance training plan is paying off with my decoupling becoming more and more consistently being under 5% - I don't worry about the model fit because i don't really understand what its reflecting or measuring. Thanks to David and all the work you put into this add on, its one of the best analysis tools i've found
  15. anyone know or have a route / profile map of this race ?
  16. Hi David I see my weight doesn't update on each activity - I changed it in settings as well on STRAVA but it still reflects the old weight on new activities.
  17. Just to mention - decoupling is a measure done at Aerobic Endurance - I do 2hr + at 60 - 70% of FTP - My goal is to get a constant decoupling of below 5% before i go into build and specialty phase on TR. I could never hold a constant FTP increase before, after a lot of research its because my Base was just not there, so it's back to basics of 12 week base training. This is where Intervals.ICU is great as you don't have to get into a complicated calculation to work out your decoupling
  18. My base training plans seem to be working hopefully
  19. COLNAGO's are worth what a NAGOHOLIC is prepared to pay for it I suppose. Yours is a DREAM B-Stay so probably anything between 12 - 14 K depending on the actual condition and groupset. The color scheme won't add value as its not a true replica of the original C40 Limited edition WCS models produced. Nice bike though
  20. I've also been trying to understand this graph, so been doing a lot of research - Here's my take The graph measures Aerobic Decoupling and according to online coaches and Joe Friel articles its measured by taking your HR/W for the 1st half and comparing it with the 2nd half of a + 2hr session at Aerobic level, which should be 65 - 70% of FTP. They say if there is more than 5% decoupling between your 1st & 2nd half then your Aerobic Endurance needs improvement. To improve Aerobic Endurance one needs to go back to Base Training until you get this measure below 5% - So its those long low intensity (65 - 70& of FTP) 2 - 3hr training rides. Anything above this does nothing to AE fitness. They say that AE fitness is the foundation of any other fitness you try do, so if its bad then you will struggle to improve Power & VO2 levels, and if you do improve, you will lose it very fast like on a rest week. They use the analogy of building a house on a weak foundation, it will eventually collapse. In fact one online coach does not allow his athletes to progress to next level training until he test their decoupling - He makes them do 2 X 20 min Aerobic and calculates their decoupling from that, if its higher then 5 - 6 % then they carry on with AE training. Your graph shows 27.7% decoupling, but it was done at race pace, so i would assume this means nothing as it wasn't at Aerobic Endurance pace and has looooooots of HTFU in that number. What confuses me about this chart is the "Model Fit" mine is always bad - David said that any session under 2 hours should be ignored as this graph only reads 2hrs + data. Which is understandable based on what i've read. Last night i did a 2hr IDT session specifically for Base Training on TR - so 60 - 70% of FTP with a IF of 0.65 & TSS score of 85. My graph today shows decoupling at 4.7% and a model fit of 0.07 (BAD) - WTF !!!! @4.7% it should read very very very very good.
  21. Haha - I'm in the same boat, especially getting going again when you stop on a steep climb
  22. Crazy price !! - looking at the procedure it does seem fairly complex however https://www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=883#
  23. If your LBS me mechanic says that's the best he can do then go find a proper mechanic. Eagle 12 speed work like butter once it's set up and dialed in. Can't comment on your other failures, but like in other posts, with so many problems with a new bike i be taking it back and demanding a full replacement or my money back
