boring monday.. need to spark discussion/debate..

QUOTE
When you ride up a hill and you’re pushing 150 watts, that is the same 150 watts as when you’re cycling on the flat. The difference is that 150 watts on a climb simply translates into a slower speed due to the effects of gravity. You’re not actually working any harder. It’s the same amount of effort!


People always say need to train more at hilly route because it is harder to ride and hence it is good for improvement..

Try ride flat 150w it’s going to be as hard if not harder than uphills 150w
*
flat 150w all the way for 40km is harder than 150w climbing 20km and cruise downhill 20km..

QUOTE(undentifiedKC @ Aug 10 2020, 01:54 PM)
this u go do mathemathic sin, u didn't give out the hilly route of gradient, w/kg for rider, how to compare

a skinny rider of 55kg need to ride 170w to keep up with a 80kg rider riding at 200w, of course the skinny rider say flat is harder cause it's 3w+/kg compare with <3w/kg
vice versa, 55kg rider compare with 80kg rider, if 55kg rider did 165w, 80kg rider need to do 240w to keep up, of course 80kg rider say climbing is hard
*
eh u are right also..

maybe try to assume the same person named Aboy doing 150w uphill course 20km + cruise back down 20km VS Aboy doing 40km flat route at 150w..
i think Aboy feels the flat is harder. rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

Yeah the the bike fit my size I guess as Ive tried it before. But as it's a used one, do I need to send it to any shop to adjust the fitting?
*
u need to go for bike fitter for best riding comfort.. allocate like 400 maybe for bike fit, extra can keep..

mixed groupset vs full groupset doesnt impact much for beginner.. just get a bike within ur budget reach and do bike fit.. then enjoy the awesomeness!

I wasn’t joking. Uphills vs flats of the same duration and power, uphills easier

Got a few. But of course they all experienced one their suggestion also terus high end one I malas tanya dah. I wanna test market only plus I think I'll always prefer running but right now can't run yet haha. Btw some shops offer free fitting plus other free gifts like helmet and bottle. So is it better to buy a new one from bicycle shops rather than a used one if price difference is only 280++? (But the problem is no stocks at most of bike shops right now)

bike shop punya bike fit ke.. hmmm.. mostly not really bike fit for u.. just cincai see see only.. unless those famous shop that really has a real bike fitter... u can go those professional bikefitter (his main job is really sit and help ppl bike fit only, not jual bike)

So what happened to that cheapo bike?

Usually normal bike shops aren't that expert (precise?) for the bike fitting techniques but for average cyclist, it's generally OK.

cheapo bike still using now..

Hahaha maybe I used a wrong word there. Not high end 'high end' but pricier beginner's bike from s works, specialized, Bianchi, pinarello etc. They won't even look at lower price brand like alcott, camp, twitter etc hahaha but idc it's my money Im not spending 6-8k for my first rb. Maybe if I really like cycling will upgrade later
*
remember to get a correct size RB.. i did my bike fit after two months i got my Camp bike.. and found out that bike is oversized.. and bike fitter quite pro also help me adjusted and now very comfy..i am using a very tiny 5cm stem now due to incorrect bike size..so i feel bike fit is really quite crucial to help u in term of comfy..

Got myself a new saddle to try out

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Realised that my previous saddle is so thick,I had to raise the seatpost 2cm to get back the same height.

After test riding somehow still felt low, raise another 1cm. In the end feel like I have never changed my saddle height at all. Mcm harem...

See this weekend ride apa macam

Hmm.. i also try to fit myself when i switched to different pedal type and got myself a pair of new shoes few months ago.. end up keep adjusting here and there.. sampai got times stopped at roadside and adjust my cleats.. at the end just pay a visit to my bikefitter again and issue resolved.. rclxm9.gif no need adjust here and there everyweeekkk..

i also got the same brand of saddle that u had (fake shimano pro stealth saddle) and found that it is not comfortable to use drop bar with this saddle..
Bike fitter said i more suitable to use the ISM Adamo type (i got fake one also tongue.gif ) and he helped me to fit it nicely.. now very comfortable in drop position.. he also lowered my stem by abit..overall much comfy now..

my recent visit is a "re-fit" so it is cheaper.. u can contact him via his FB page here.. https://www.facebook.com/LittleRockBikeFit/

I also like the shape but it is not suitable for me..the 2 splitted batang of ISM Adamo type feel more comfortable in droppp...

Ekceli, I've seen many new riders who buy Alcott, EMC, Twitter, CAMP, etc... end up selling their bikes after 6 months (or less! excl.gif ) and upgrade to brands like Specialized.
