TitusTi Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Howzit all you power boffins. I thought that I was sort of middle of the road, but a lab test seems to prove otherwise. Considering the following stats I have a question. If it is that rider A and Rider B share similar stats barring the weight. Why is it that Rider 1 always outclimbs Rider 2?? Is rider2's head just soft or is there another reason? Rider 1:Peak Power Output (PPO): 293wattsWeight: 71.5kgPower:Weight Ratio: 4.1 W/kgMaximum Heart Rate (during test): 169HR @ Lactate Turnpoint: 123<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Power @Lactate Turnpoint: 173W Rider 2:Weight: 87.5kgPeak Power Output (PPO): 355wattsPower:Weight Ratio: 4.06 W/kgMaximum Heart Rate (during test): 173HR @ Lactate Turnpoint: 123Power @Lactate Turnpoint: 205W[/quote'] Probably because you ride your bike on the road and not on paper.
FanieFiets Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 [/quote=Dick] What kind of climbs? Climbs in Joburg usually last 5 or maybe 10 minutes' date=' so FTP (power for an hour) doesn't matter. You're looking at 5 minute anaerobic bursts. Maybe rider 1's position on the bike is better, or swaps standing/sitting efforts better so that more muscles are used, and more muscles get a rest. Was your position on the bike in the lab the same as on the road? Seated? Or maybe it is all in the head How big a gap? 5% faster? 50% faster?[/quote'] About 1 to 1.5 minutes on a 45minute mtb climb and about 1.5 to 2 mins on a 40min road climb. I also think it is the head. Maybe i am just too much of a moffie for this cycling thing. waar kry JY 'n pad bult van 40 minute??????
