Triple - even in the virtual world that would be piss take material

I'm using the SRAM wi-fli 52/39 with 11/32 cassette. It works great for me but I ride with very low cadence.

Special mention to Rob for slugging it out and sticking with it till the end. Very impressive.

You two must be racing snakes! Look how much power I have to put out to keep up! And I'm still not Pro!!! LOL

with that output u should be pro . I know I needed a output of 317 average for over 30 min to get profi 6 . It does tell u under fitness level what average u need to get to the next level ..

It is do do with weight to . I have just noticed when I enter my weight at 63 kg I would need a avg output of 318 w but when I put my weight up to 64 kg I would need a avg of 323 w to get to the next level ..

Nothing wrong with a triple, it's what I have on the cx bike I use on the turbo (52-42-30 x 11-26), 52x11 is great for the 'drome and 30x26 good when I need to have a rest on the steep stuff. Outdoors bike is 50-34 x 12-25 (or 12-27 for hilly rides).

Guy. I predict that yourself and IrishAl will be fighting it out at the front when the chain gang league starts. And us lardy guys will be just a little bit closer to the racing snakes

My weight goes up and down in the racing season I am usually under 62 .. But when I got in to biking

5 year ago I was 78 kg / 163 cm ...

All that matters is that we all get a race. And I doubt you'll be at the back Ash.

I didn't realise bkool could actually connect to your trainer. That's good to know. I contacted them regarding my trainer not being able to update and they replied that my trainer was on the most up to date software already. I was wondering how they knew. Hmmmmmm

The latest software for your trainer?


That's what they always used to tell me.

I come in at 80kg, but I am 191cm tall. My son kills me on some hills at 57kg and 177cm, although when it gets properly steep I still beat him.

I went up to Active 10. I need nearly 330 to move up now. There's clearly a lot of difference between 62 and 75 kg! TBH I'm quite happy to be improving all the time and keeping up. I don't want to lose too much more weight, I've lost a good 10kg since taking cycling up three years ago.
My son is 17, 6'8" about as heavy as a gnat and can put out 400w for an hour. He gets off his bike and is not even sweating...

Oi! Keep me out of this talk of favourites. I chased Ryan like hell last night but could never get within 20 seconds. And Guy and Gareth were miles up the road. But it was nice of Kipster to get a photo of me inthe lead about half a mile in. Lol!

At 81kgs I need something like 385W to move up to Pro4. 2 big fat quads is my problem.
