Courtesy of the recent velonews podcast I've been reading about vlamax - the maximum rate of lactate production.
Mentioned is a lactate burning zone, presumably the idea being the ideal power to ride 'recovery' intervals of glycolytic efforts in order to clear the generated lactate; anyone know roughly where it falls?

Spotted in the IP yesterday; marked up as an 'Echolon' but looks similar to the Pursuit Champ?

Session 1 just started streaming on youtube here:

I've seen it happen, a stack of 1mm spacers pinging everywhere!
At least Cervelo got the saddle to stay attached...
-
Count yourself lucky, you could spend £7k on a Look and have the saddle fall completely off.

I noticed the holes in the KMC quick link I use for training have stretched out a bit, probably from too much re-use.
I switch out gears and chains regularly and I would like something more reusable and secure for use on the track.
Wippermann 7R8s are an expensive solution when my existing KMC chains are still good...

Where can I buy a 3/32" chain spring clip connecting link?
There's plenty of quick links but am looking for a reusable spring link like this one from Wippermann (which doesn't seem to be stocked anywhere).
I'm looking to get more specific in the gym for track league and am progressing on from typical strength training 5x5 etc. I've recently moved on to 3x15 with 30s rest for squats and single leg press with a weight that gets me close to failure on the last reps - but for squat I'm not sure if it should be a weight that requires a brace/pause on each rep or light enough to speed through the set in a faster constant motion. The faster motion of the leg press feels more specific to race efforts but also not sure what really counts as rest when doing unilateral work as one leg is resting whilst other is working...
There's tons of free info out there for strength/hypertrophy/power but very little it seems for muscular endurance and even less specifically applied to cycling/track... Does anyone have any good tips, links or experience with strength training for endurance specific to cycling that they can share?
