Go for 120 at least.

That last 20 does make a difference.

Ive always gone 110.. does that extra bit make any real difference?

I, with my current tyre (Maxxis Re-Fuse 700x28) and weight, run between 135-140 psi. If I go much below that I can feel the tyre wrap around the roller. I would just run the tyre at the max rated pressure on the side of it.

Blimey... then again with your new low weight you could probably go up a bit more!
I'm worried something will go bang if I pump it up too much!

In my experience it would be a pinch puncture of the tube (through poor tyre instalation) or delamination of the tyre through over inflation. DAMHIK .

Could be 5 or 10 watts at a guess. I sometimes go 150

Wow!

Same here. I'm scared my plumpness will make the tyre pop

 

[Whorty]

It must be a truly fantastic feeling to see the difference that properly functioning lungs , non catching brakes and fully inflated tyres can make
It must be like taking the handbrake off a moving car !!
Couple that with the time and effort you have been putting in while being held back that must have built body up
I think the chequered flag awaits mate !!

It's my new patented training regime! Handicap yourself for months

 

[Whorty]

Sorry Whorty. No sign of your ride. Must be lost in Bkool.

It's turned up now. Looks like slow bkool! cheers anyway Bill

100 was rock hard and I was nervous about a puncture if too high. I might try a little firmer if I can be brave enough

I suppose most of us whould have a spare tube to hand and go for it, but if your not comfortable with fitting a new tube it would be a big risk.

Go for it, what the heck, we will guide you through any resulting mechanics required.

 

[BILL S]

No re-run for me tonight. Still not really feeling well enough. Just cut the grass and decided thats enough for me.
Someone else please start at 5 pm.

I'll join you (at the start). IPad is ready with Denmark vs Kazakstan football game, fan has been turned one notch up and door open for 45 minutes. Temperature now at 23 in the toolshed. :-) Skovsgaard's time (around 33min from today) is the one to beat for you. I just plan to go below 41 min. and beat @Whorty

Don't know yet, but felt a whole lot better and cooler today! The temp topped at 25 degrees. Don't know about Thursday, but it was a lot hotter.

Door open and the fan helped a lot today! But I think what helped the most was me checking the tyre pressure. Looks like I was riding at 6 bars Thursday, and today I pumped it to the max. 8 bars (116 psi)!

Or maybe it was just the rest day yesterday.

EDIT: Still at Active 8, needed 339w to go to Active 9, today was only 329w.

respect jacob you had me beat FAS

i would have done better but for
1 too much wine yesterday evening
2 to punish myself i started gardening a 4 am
3 i was so tired that by 2 pm my eyes were closing
4 it was then that i severed my femoral artery with the hedge trimmers
5 i patched myself up with a soldering iron and some gaffer tape
6 i carried on gardening till 4 15 pm and then warmed up
7 i started well but about 3km in my chain came off
8 i managed to get it back on without dismounting but jacob was gone
9 i then chased BG to help him but he had my ghost so he didnt need me
10 i set off after Jacob again but made little headway
11 about 4 km from the end my artery started to bleed profusely again so i quickly tore off one of the kittens tails and made a tourniquet.
12 that sorted i managed to limp in on one leg

PS the kitten didn't need her tail because she had jumped into my back wheel earlier which is why my chain came off
