If I can sweet talk @Hovis into letting me ride his fixed again after last years little spill, I’m definitely in.

This is still here and I’d love it gone.

They look great. What dimensions are the ones you’ve made already?

Thanks for the links, I’ll check them out.

I’m looking for a coffee table, but have limited space and am struggling to find something I really like, so thought I’d consult the hive mind.

The dream is the small version of this -

However it’s out of our price range. So either I’m looking for a good replica or something similar at approx 80x80cm max.

Any ideas very welcome

dimensions 90(W) x 48(d) x 120 (h)

Forgot the important stuff

Based in SE13

I need this gone this weekend, so free to whoever can pick it up.

Thanks,

Is it April already?

“Pre Session Gel” - wtf?

A gel for before you even ride?

Great, will have a play.

Thanks for the advice

30 to 40% but it depends on your weight too.

Wow! That’s quite a difference.

I weigh 67kg and ride 25mm GP5000’s. So should I try something like 50%? Apologies, but I don’t really know what I’m doing here.

Good to hear.

Out of interest, where do you tend to have yours set?

with a decent gear choice and smoother cadence it can be 'tamed' a bit

But when riding in sim mode it forces you to use lower gears (as you would IRL), so not sure how to change that. Is that where “slope scaling” comes into play? I have it set to 100% to keep things supposedly realistic, but maybe it should be dialled back so I can climb in the big ring with greater inertia?

I finally caved and replaced my old fluid turbo with a Neo 2T a couple of weeks back. First impressions are very good. ERG is good for my trainer road workouts and keeps things honest. I had a bad habit of going over on intervals and sometimes straying out of the intended zone, so this is good for discipline. Sim mode is definitely more interesting on long rides too.

I do have an issue that I’d like to try to understand though. I did a Fulgaz ride a couple of days ago (Stelvio) which I did in sim mode. Tapping away at tempo (bang in the middle of z3) and keeping the cadence realistic for a long climb (85rpm) it took 90 minutes. This wouldn’t have felt particularly taxing on the old turbo and according to HR it was similar on the Neo. However, RPE felt a bit higher and the day after I was left with some DOMS in the glutes and lower back.

Now, I’ve climbed many mountains IRL and at much higher power with none of the soreness I’m being left with after that. So, I’m trying to work out what’s happening differently to affect the muscles in this way and is it a good or bad thing? The Neo feels like it’s forcing me to use muscles differently.

I've got a procook bread knife and it's really good, can't fault the build quality

Good to know, thanks.

I’m after some advice please.

I want a couple of good quality kitchen knives for general use and that will last me years. They don’t need to be beautiful artisan knives, but easy to look after and well made.

I’ve been looking at these two options -

https://www.procook.co.uk/product/procoo­k-x100-vg10-damascus-knife-set-2-piece-c­hef

and

https://www.knivesfromjapan.co.uk/knives­-c1/knife-sets-c13/kasumi-damascus-2-pie­ce-knife-set-p1005

The first option as well as being slightly cheaper also comes with another santoku knife free.

Not really a knife porn post, sorry, but not sure what I should be looking for.

Thanks.

Done. Thanks again

Maybe try the turbo thread?

Fantastic. Thanks all

Merci x

Sound amazing. Will be searching those out

Please do

Tears here.

A class act and that win is so well deserved. Couldn’t be happier for you @taogeogheganhart
