Wow... Good that u can see urself Improving...

Imo, if both bike are the same weight n profile, it won be much different..
It will b a better ride quality on the carbon...

Dun mind me asking wat r those both bikes weight in?

Meanwhile...
In the world of aerodynamics, weights does not matter, but the bike profile does.

Anyways I m not that fast... I santai rider who just trying to be fast, 😜

total weight differences about around 1.5kg
but still, compare RM2k alloy rb and RM8k carbon rb. Both of results are not big differences.
So those rb cost RM20k-60k, i have no idea.

1.5kg can consider alot for most weight weenies...
But then again reality is that we can reduce 1.5kg body weight also...
😂😂😂😂

20k-60k does not mean they are lighter...
But they are confirm stiffer and more comfortable...

Stiffer bike (at the right place) makes the power transfer better...
But also reduce the comfort...

honestly, I hvn try to ride a alloy bike to compare the difference with my current performance...

from what I know, every bikes has its limit... It is possible tat u hv reached the peak performance of ur carbon bike... Tat s y u felt the same 😎... It is a calling for a NBD

Now sudah pencen racing, just wanna ride and see new places on the bike for now..

Good on you if you feel motivated to ride more, but dont get sooo into numbers is my advise.. and please drink water, its bad for your kidneys

Lmao

the way u bold it make it sound like drinking water is bad fod kidney

Nope, I find it hilarious that he had to highlight that. I drink water as soon as I’m on the bike warming up.

my bad, if i plan on long ride, i will start drinking days before ...

newbie reporting in, just started this year, mostly solo, hope can join some ride soon

Welcome...
Mind poison us with ur bike?

I usually ride at hulu langat... If u go there let me know... 😂

normal bike only
I'm staying nearby mahkota cheras/sg long, definitely will buzz u

that is what we all said...

alloy bike will much softer like normal family car as the frame are flex enough.
much comfortable to ride but harder to control. so it can train your reflex and focus.


simply want to physco my brain that dont instruct my body to ease down for a rest when running short of food and water. You wont know when is your next tough ride that will forcing u to drink much water till you cant find somewhere to refill. Hence I even purposely skip some famous landmark too like Starbuck so that I can convince myself continue to ride with higher motivation.

now my main challenge is the hot sun which can drain my power easily
My brain keep asking me to get rest every 7-10km.

It does sounds like ur body is giving u signs that it is lacking of something.

Unless u r training for something, best listen to ur body. Imo.
Not worth draining ur body for the sake of just riding..

Fyi
We do not need to ride long hours or long distance to train to be faster...
Just a structured training will do...


If that is not ur goal,
just enjoy the ride,
enjoy the scenery,
enjoy the process..

Welcome the PM
Hail PM

😂😂

I would say constantly sip on water if its a hot day. If you wait till you are thirsty its too late. Long rides usually target 1 bottle per hour.

You want your body to perform, you need to give your body the resources it needs. Same with food or more specifically carbs, you dont diet on the bike.. you give your body the resources it needs to perform. With proper recovery it can adapt to your training.
