Online Training Peaks is great but doesn't, as far as I can see, allow you to do the sort of analysis they do. That's academic for me 'cos I couldn't do such complicated sessions anyhow without brain explosion. Base miles to power plus simple intervals with occasional race data for me.

Training peaks best features are the power category chart - wish they would equate to MTB XC too - and the fitness chart as well as a good diary function that sums TSS and IF etc.

Weight difference is smaller than I realised but I need to swap between wheel sizes and axle standards plus want to be able to run XX1 and QR in the future.

Why the Stages hatez - one sided and interwebz reliability reputation?

Not much serious competition for MTB except Quark if you want to run XX1. P2m is pretty weighty as well as 2x cost and Powertap weighty and new versions not so well thought of?

I'm giving up on my Ti Swift after 3 years. It doesn't like chamois cream and it's actually not more comfortable than a standard Fizik which I don't have to worry about rain etc with.

Swinley = fast trails, sudden erosion induced camber changes, polished surface...... I try to hold something in reserve as I really don't want to crash on some of it. I now tend to head off to Tunnel Hill etc where it's softer, slower and less sandy.

Southern XC has a round at Checkendon which is fun, flat, rooty and near home.

I just like parts hewn from solid blocks of metal in the UK.

'Like'

I want to connect an electro shock collar to voice activated technology to cure my daughter of this affliction.

'In terms of'

Think before you open your mouth so you don't need meaningless shite to connect your sentence.

Don't forget the effect of bar width on position. Makes a massive difference.

Binary on fast downhill off camber rooty mud is not good. Newer Hope are closer to Shimano on power but have heaps of modulation. Much more expensive but when you destroy a lever in a years time you'll be able to buy a lever not have to buy a complete brake etc.

How tall are you?

Early morning ride to get some miles in before a family day.
2hours later find 20m sheet of frozen water main leakage. Last recorded garmin speed was 32mph. Ice sheet minimised road rash and bike fine despite two 360 rotations. Assos winter bibs not so fine.

Well worn racing ralphs work very well on the road.

Also Salsa El Mariachi. I see a couple being raced sometimes as well as Singulars

I regularly swap wheelsets on my disc MTBs. The spacing can require you to recentre the calipers or you can use some Syntace shims to space the discs the same. You do get a different lever feel but it works fine.

Sorry can't skive on the 21st :(

Friday or xmas eve?

Anyone on for a festive Swinley ride?

Good to see you all again - sorry I had to dip out early.

There's a new section on the red on the way back which is pretty cool. Witches something - bermed, flowing and sand not stones.

I took the fucking chainsaw too it

Don't like long head tube and gate appearance, wanted low top tube for bar/lever clearance and lighter

Poorly designed and executed bike

I have an unused and unopened CK inset that corresponds to that (bought in error and too late to return) which I'd do pretty cheap.

Courses are generally very good

Masters + is insane! Even with your CX experience I don't think you would have been too much of a ringer in sport.

Do a 12hr as a solo. At night when you have a glostick identifier you are passed by team riders they wait, encourage, tell you nice things etc.

4hrs is hard esp when you cross the line at 3.59 and have to go round again but it's then you pick up places esp if it's tough conditions and others give up.

I've entered the 3 of them. Grand Vets this year so only 3hrs
