Deep lore attentionpayers will know that I actually bought a Sqlabs saddle, but my trainer bike is too big and for Sqlabs it's designed for you to sit on the rear shelf of the saddle so it really didn't work for me.

Went to a new gym candidate today:
- one squat rack
- slippy pl8s you have to secure on the bar each time
- bars slimmer than usual
- only one fatter bar but it has the grippy texture too wide, it is smooth at deadlift width
- no 15 pl8s for me lu raises
- awkward holds around the cable gate
- dumbbells end at fiddy
- no fly, quad or dub (back of the thigh) or ohp machine
- no chalk

I did what I could but it still SUCKED. A big DSQ for that """gym""".


Looking at that AG2R team now, what exactly is the plan.
Hoping Seixas doesn't dip, Kooij has a reliable trein, a free Tiesj will now Tiesj and Lapeira capitalizes on that TdF parcours but that is a lot of things that have to go right to do the heavy UCI credit pulling.


















































































 >>/51929/
That's the plan for the 3 (an hopefully final) bike, a plain matte black Ebin with no bullshit, but if I had these how much, 2000 euros to burn (in the worst case scenario) I'd bite this.. thing.
 >>/51930/
Going fast offroad. Brtek will confirm Eastern Mitteleuropa """gravel""" needs full suspension.





































 >>/51961/
the 22:30 or what it was start was super annoying, I'm glad its earlier today 
lots of good racing if you're a track enjoyer and some good memes like women sprinter big names being eliminated early and tons of chutes in womens madison including the near guaranteed winning duo of wiebes and her partner 

augenstein+kluge lets go fuckers hell yeah

I think strava itself takes your active time calories and adds some on top for total elapsed time, if we convert your watts and active time into joules we get the roughly 2900 kj and sauce converts to kcal with whatever value they use for body efficiency 

 >>/51970/
a lot of the issues comes from commentary not really commentating enough on who's at the front, who's attacking and what their standings are. I've watched track live once and the in velodrome commentator did that and it was much clearer



 >>/51975/
I'm a super surge-y rider. Even on a "Z2 ride" (I never really worry about watts when riding outdoors, I just try to ride easy if I'm trying to rack up kilometers), I will almost always nearly max my HR at some point sprinting up a hill or chasing down a polderbully or something.

These massive-engine dudes like Tarling, Ganna, Simmons, Politt, etc just aren't built for road victories. You need ability to make a decisive move on some feature and they just do massive watts for long periods and then get kwabbed by puncheurs/sprinteurs/grimpeurs/etc.

Occasional breakaway victory for them (which is probably lowest odds strategy of victory) but that's about it



















































Just run into some cagie doing a right turn on 5 tries despite an empty road.
Only hit his hitch hook or however it is called but he still stormed out to yell that I don't know where am I going.
He didn't respond to my respond though, I have clearly WON.





 >>/52060/
Slaves don't need to ride results, he just needs to pish power for 1-2 hours
I'm not arguing for him to win things because he won't
Thijssen on the other hand is useless because he's a bad sprinter they will try to bet on

Will you be paying attention to the FIRST Hungarian ProTeam EVER. Which is just the Italian Colpack-Ballan team but they go pro with a Hungarian license for some reason. Some BIG names, with MASNADA, FELLINE, BUDZINSKI, PEÁK and CIPOLLINI. And of course Cesare CHEESINI

From what I see: Every single groupset on the market is 12 speed for a long time, mtb groupsets are cheaper than road since you only have 1 shifter that's separated from the brake, no front derailleur, only a cheap small chainring. On road groups the shifter and brake combo makes up a big chunk of the total price and the big chainring is also expensive, mtb doesn't have that
Afaik on mtb most of the price comes from suspension, then frame, then wheels and the groupset is just an afterthought












Is there any downside to running a round offset seatpost flipped to get a more forward effective seatpost angle? My gr*vel has a 72.5° seat angle and I'm maxed out at the rails but would need slightly more.




















 >>/52147/
More aero I guess.
My daughter is becoming a proper polderbully as we speak. She had her 2year checkup last week, she was already 94cm tall, over 10cm more than average for her age, and a lot taller than my wife or I at the same age (and we are both quite tall at 190 and 180cm). The Finnish time trial scene won't know what hit them, she'll be cranking out long 300W+ sweetspot sessions in no time




 >>/52152/
She can do any sport she pleases of course. I will nudge her towards basketball and athletics most likely – both good sports with a healthy culture around here and good clubs, and universal applicability to other sports as well. Of course if she wants to do something else like swimming or football, sure, why not. I am only against gymnastics (very unhealthy culture of anorexia and abuse) and ice hockey.



 >>/52156/
I assume it's even worse for female gymnasts
 >>/52157/
Not against it but the culture around here isn't great, and I have no experience with it myself (nor has anyone in the family) so ideally I would want something we could practice together and I could help her with.

> The International Cycling Union (UCI) has suspended Vinícius Rangel Costa for twenty months. The 24-year-old Brazilian—who previously rode for Movistar—will serve time in the penalty box for violating doping regulations.

> Rangel failed to correctly file his whereabouts information three times in one year and will now face penalties. In accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and the UCI Anti-Doping Rules (UCI ADR), the suspension runs from August 27, 2025, to April 26, 2027.

> The rider does not appear to be appealing his sentence. "The matter has been resolved by accepting the consequences," a press release reads.

they just can't help themselves

How do you position your fan? In front of you?
I'm being really cautious about not catching some throat ache AGAIN so I only have it angled at me legs and me dingus, but I think I am overheating a little bit from all those subpar watts.
Maybe try positioning it from the side?
