    This bro is good for cycling. He's umm different. And exceptional.

    Put Chaves on a proper bike and it's like all the stars have (finally) aligned

    I know the catalans play by their own rules, but is the aero tuck not banned in this race or has the rule not been enforced yet?

    More excited about kamna if I'm honest ????

    He goes to Mellow/Melo (?) Velo once a week. Thats out your way. He's brilliant. I went last week. He uses all the gadgets, but also his own eyes so its really thorough.

    I see. I suppose I always thought the bike weight was the get-on-and-ride weight. Cool, thanks
  7. Chris_
    Why would you give a weight without pedals? And at least one bottle cage. Its not like they're something you can forego.

    Rubber or metal. Rubber does get a funk after a while as mentioned here, but it also cleans well I've found. Leather just 'dies' prematurely. I do still have one watch on a leather strap which I wear more loosely to try avoid the dampness (but its not my favourite way to wear a watch...)

    I'm a sweater, so they're a no-go for me.

    C'mon Sepp Edit: jeepers, kiss of death...

    I view stride length as a by-product and not a goal. Start with a cadence that is most comfortable. Get fitter/stronger/better form and whatnot so that your push/pull leg power increases. More power equals more speed which then equals more ground covered. Although feel free to ignore my comments as I'm still waiting for someone else to chime in with sub 1m stride length...

    Maybe some of these other metrics you just need it to be consistent. Even if its consistently wrong. So as long as your own watch/device keeps giving you (incorrect) data, if its always relative maybe thats good enough to work with seeing longer term progressions etc. Wrist-based heart rate on the other hand, as I keep seeing myself (when my HRM battery dies), and often read about, is inconsistently wrong. Which is just the worst of both worlds. And basically useless.

    Waved blue even.

    My first thought was go to gym and get stronger, but then I pictured the typical pro climbing specialist (road though) and they're stick insects. So your weight loss goal is probably a really good idea. Saying that, I've never mtb'ed so I have no place here. I will read replies with interest.

    You got people frothing here. Your backup better be good haha
  17. Chris_
    Can anyone enter the race? Do you have /know the entry link?
  18. Chris_
    OK thanks. I was just wondering, seeing as an u23 won, if they can be the (overall) SA road champ, or if it had to be an Elite. But the podium photo kind of answers that I suppose.
  19. Chris_
    Apols for dumb question. Is Elite just a catagory name for 23 - 29 year olds? Or is there more to it.
  20. Chris_
    Maybe something to do with why Bennett dropped off the back for an unknown reason?
  21. Chris_
    Look how nice this road surface is! Sure not in jhb anymore...
  22. Chris_
    Secretly, it was Caleb. ???? It was hilarious seeing the him sitting behind Ganna and van Barle. It would have been like drafting behind a bus. No wonder he had so much left in the tank
  23. Chris_
    Better looking weather. Will it be clear all day?
  24. Chris_
    Whatever happens, this next 6kms is going to be epic
  25. Chris_
    Come on anyone! I don't want a bunch sprint
