Ps does anyone else have a spray of rubber up the wall behind their turbo because I am SICK of seeing tyres shredded by the hilly climbs..... How to stop??

The rubber only seems to shred if the tyre stays cold due to the lower friction caused by less than 250 watts going through it. Much experimentation and testing over many months using many different tyres and tyre pressures has proved that it is all about the watts and the magic figure is 250watts. Any less than that for sustained periods will have tyre particles all over your wall. More than 250 watts and the tyre heats up enough for the tyre to remain fully amalgamated.

So what you're saying is Adam's not trying hard enough?

Adam you need to convince your good lady that you need a turbo with no rear wheel. Don't get the kickr, bkool don't like them or kickr doesn't like bkool:smile:

You wash your children?? Gee thats where we are going wrong then.....

Sorry Bill your perfectly believable reason for the rubber shred is wrong - i know this because he shreds and I don't yet I would put my house on him having a higher watt than me :/

Think I'll just stay on the front :eek:
Yes, could spell the end of our drafting efforts now we have that image in the back of our minds!

Ok, I think I get it.....
Lots of farting and scratching (much the same at home)
Lots of excuses before rides followed by max effort and chasing down friends / foes (much the same at home)
Lots of bike lingo which means nothing to me (much the same at home)

Just for the record I am neither young, beautiful or indeed a trophy but if being in a gang (other than the pirates) helps me find my mojo then i hope its ok to pop in occasionally.

No comment on points 1 & 2, however we're mainly blokes in here, so cant admit to not knowing anything about bikes, we would never rely on google to try and figure out what someone else was talking about :whistle:

Its much the same as we dont need those useless bits of paper that companies supply with everything, you know the things, instructions or something....

About the rubber spray, move it further from the wall, under no circumstances banish him the garage. They are lonely grey places full of spiders and other scary things, and tools and other distractions......

And :welcome:

Phew, I feared the arrival of another woman and especially Add's carer might have an adverse impact on the toilet room humour here. I needn't have feared.
Camlo,
Can you make sure Add's enema is inserted more appropriately prior to a bkool ride? You may find the stain you refer to is no longer a problem.

Ps
All genders, ethnic groups and religious types are of course more than welcome here.

Morning all

Probably won't make the ride later. After 2 weeks of hard graft (:heat:), I've finished decorating and today we're getting new carpet fitted. Then off to the local to watch the rugby and reassure friends I haven't died... Not a massive rugby supporter but I like it well enough. And ive always been an avid supporter of my local brewery's! :cheers:

Did you get that cup of tea Adam?
