Joffey, I think you're mixing SPD with SPD-L The latter are road cleats, the former are comfortable walk-able MTB shoe cleats.

Plus they hardly wear out. Just swapped my original cleats after 8 years of use.

That's rapid!You'll knock another couple of minutes off that next time, I'd wager.

FWIW the fastest guy at the Olympic Velodrome on saturday was running spd eggbeaters-super light weight too. And a nice pair of what looked like Shimano RX8 gravel shoes. Also lightweight.

Training coming along nicely Joffey👍

Na, these are SPD - little 2 bolt cleats on my MTB shoes

I've gone from Shimano to Look and back to SPD ... Giro Rumble for me on the tandem, and Planet X Carbon MTBon the road bike ... Garmin Rally MTB conversion pedals ... From Garmin Vectors ... No way are the Rally's worth over a grand!! Pair of Vectors and the conversion kit ... Job done.

Where my pedal-wrench-inna-scaffolding-tube failed, my LBS have apparently succeeded, so my Zwifting machine will be back later today. 👍

Bloody hell, the torque you could apply with that, should crack any seized bolt.

Sure you weren't tightening ?

I'm thinking of joining a recce ride at 18:00 tonight. It's a bimble ride so low C pace, but should be perfect for a course recce.

CX men’s elite starts in ten minutes guys. Anyone with GCN+ get it on now!!

So excited, and fingers crossed for Tom Pidcock. Will he get a better opportunity with not WvA or MvDP?!

I persuaded Wendy to watch this with me last night and she really enjoyed it Great performance.

Me and the wife watched it towards midnight. She enjoyed it too

It really suited a lighter rider, and the top 3 were smaller than the power house riders.

I'd like to believe Pidcock's form and the course terrain would have seen him beat VDP and VA too

heart rate was 160 bpm from the start rather than 140 so i was keeping it on the edge right from the off rather than taking it easy , i guess im more of a deisel rather than an classic climber

TdZ Stage-7 long ride done. Clearly shorter than stage-6 long ride but elevation meters are nearly same.

Would be quite good if the training plans flexibility could be incorporated into Zwift. I currently have both, but don't use TR any more because it's not as much fun - even though I think their training plans are better (at least in terms of being able to start whenever you want and recalculate a program part-way through).
