I have really long legs and it's kinda hard to find socks that are reaching my calves, I just don't like the look of short socks. Can you please recommend brands to check out?

Socks until calves are maybe those that use compression socks la

Real cyclist use socks that is just below calf to make sure the tan lines looks gooding

Personally I like castelli socks. Breathable and has some compression but they really are fragile due to the fabric being super breathable

Btw who going to powerman tomorow ? Best of luck to everyone

My aim is to santai and finish

only people who have such strong legs can break a seat post like this.

my theory:

-clamp over torque
-not enough minimum insert
-saddle railing max/over
-low quality carbon layup
-fatigue/heat
-accident

so many things can go wrong. at least with alu/ti it bends instead of brittle. less chance of catastrophic failure.

i think these carbon components are designed for pros. they are sponsored and will dispose after end of season anyway.

1) yes, when i was cycling before. Now already retired
2) there are several methods to calculate FTP and you may even use those bicycles in the gym that comes with power meter by default except that the position is not optimal for you. Thats the cheapest anyway. I did mine using zwift. How useful it is? Its useful for me to calculate, plan and to avoid bonking during weekend rides. If my FTP is 200w, pushing 240w on average in a peloton wont last me very long

why Power? is it not doable with just HR ?
