assuming a constant westerly which causes crosswind for 90% of your route, why is the average power only 91w? PM calibration problem also?

Powermeter with 99% of rosak confirm will get condemned and not sure why anyone to buy with such review... Even the cheapest pm +-2-3%...

Possible just Din calibrate properly... Happened to me before... The power reading will be very low...

If power from strava.. Maybe the weight not set properly?
Power 91w... avg 23km/hr...

Personally I can't feel anything below 160w (60kg)... But my avg will be abt 30km/hr +- 3...

91w must be damn effortless

190-200w for 30km/hr means nth...
If u r 100kg... Tat s only 1.9-2w/kg
which again means nth if we duno how long u can last with this power...

200w for me is 3.3w/kg for entire ride of 2hrs (hvn try further got I got my pm late)

Pros can maintain at above 5w/kg...

If you feel the need to use paper figures to gauge stiffness in a frame it is more likely than not that bike stiffness is not a factor.

Whatever floats your boat, I’d pick the Propel if both are new.

aftersales service
warranty
spare parts availability
aftermarket parts compatibility
bb standard
user reviews
aesthetic
and so on.......

but nothing about stiffness

I think lah...
Everybody goes thru this stage at one point in one's hobby
Fussing over unnecessary details
Overanalyzing things

congrats on new bike day

inb4 alloy and carbon no diff

Shimano 105 received an upgrade in 2018, which means the old Giant Propel’s set might be ‘previous gen’. If you go read articles / reviews on the R7000 105 compared to Ultegra, it offers similar performance, has better value for money for a mere 200g extra weight only. IMHO go for the new bike... U are paying with your hard earned money, so get something which is new and be proud owning it 😁

no wonder unfollow me. so you can be on top in your list ?

why u unfollow him?

This is no KOM but my PBOM
In case some people ask... Yup alone!
Using a RB with 50/88mm wheelset

when get new bike ?

ahpingkoooo
you usually start from gm klang?
weekdays got cycling at night?

aiseh. looking for a weekdays group ride.

I also need to change new bartape. Anyone use Ciclovation bartape?

Thats paris roubaix bro
Not mokara attack

I find that proper fitting gloves makes more of a difference than bar tape. 2XU and Rudy Project gloves fits best on my hands (skinny fingers), but they also both now discontinued their gloves

otherwise other gloves I tried I do notice my hands can still slide inside the gloves, and its that abrasion that causes the problems.

because of ill-fitting gloves, u don't wear gloves anymore?
why not get the right size ones instead?
