btw, i dont understand, why you guys so sarcastic with Rapha? As newbie in this, I just asking whatever I gather new info about cycling but most of you are like butthurt when the rapha words appear here.

Any recommendations on free training app that provide data such as TSS, IF data like trainingpeak? Trying to be cheap. Haha

Guys,

I am preparing for my biggest ride, 160km next week.

How do you guys prepare before the long hours ride? Do I need to take electrolite tablet or anything the night before, etc? Any other tips?

Thanks.

hey guys, any tips for a newbie like me that wish to start cycling? As a first step I wish to actually rent a bike first and slowly make my way up. Is there any shop/place that allow you to rent the bike around KL area? Thanks!

I see, thanks for the recommendation. Definitely gonna check it out. Tho the 1st and 3rd Sunday of this month has already passed, am I right? 

*touch Wood*

Grab and go home je

guys,

anyone using garmin edge 520 plus here? today I rode kesas but the speed sudden drop like 30 went to 10 and then 15 before back to 30 even on the flat. Im sure that the speed remain the same when this happens.

any1 face the same problem?this is my first time using garmin edge. before this using bryton with no such issue.

cant seems to find shop tht carry it, but im guessing direct drive trainers r quite expensive?

I see. Did you use speed sensor? I asked a couple of shops, they said it is known issue for garmin speed sensor. So they suggest me not to use the speed sensor at all.

My Bryton is using GPS as main speed reading and speed sensor as secondary. I did not find this in Garmin as we dont have the option. Or it is automatically use speed sensor when the gps signal drop?

I stopped cycling 2 months already. Sigh

Aiseh... tot you are same with kingcat on campag

Had my tri bike adjusted twice.

As mentioned before, went for TF which lowered seat and raised the stem, still have sore sit bone and toe numbness.

Recently went for VO2max by Patrick. Very professional, a physio by training. Has 3D real time mapping for angles as well as bike measuring. saddle raised about 2cm, stem/cockpit dropped by 4cm, added wedges to shoe. Had seat pressure mapping as well, tried another wider ISM saddle (which he thought would suit me better), but shown empirically (by the pressure mapping) that the wider saddle was actually causing higher pressure despite being more centralised (on current saddle more pressure on left side).

At least things are backed up by real data. So ultimately had more confidence. Still have sore sit bones, but lesser, and toe numbness are a lesser occurrence <<< after 2 weeks of riding this new setup.

It is nice that after adding wedges, I still know from the 3D cameras that my knee is still tracking within the normal range etc. Yes RM750 is expensive, but I bit the bullet since I believe a good fit will help with being efficient and prevent injury.

My only comment is, I wish we could play around with adjustments by the millimeter to see if +2 mm or -2 mm is better or worse etc, you know, like at the optometrist. Until everything is dialed in perfect. Maybe i'm too demanding. But right now the stats show my angles etc being in normal range.

He serious in commenting

question - my quadriceps/front thigh always cramp after 50km+, how can i prevent this and wat is the cause of this?
i have tried staying hydrated, salt stick, but still same

hmm...so i need to increase my effort/cadence for my usual 54km ride for my muscle to adjust itself and cope with higher effort.
