I am going to have to learn the new draft. I liked not yo yoing but looking at the results i can see i am putting out too much power at the wrong times mainly fearing i will fall off the back.

PD4.1 , folk are saying it takes more power to hold position, but with care you can lower power by much as 20-30W and not get dropped.

In the moment though, that goes out of window

TBF I doubt a rider as classy as Adrian would give two hoots about a MAMIL chopper no-mark like me targeting one of his KOMs. I didn’t ride the TdF in 1987!

Are you old enough to be a MAMIL?

Just installed Continental GP5000 tires to my Tarmac. It was straight forward (easy) to install. Time tell how well they last compared to GP4000s II tires which was almost bomb proof and never let me down. Only concern is GP5000 cream sidewall, not for sure is that durable as completely black tires or is it ride spoiler.

42 - definitely at or near MAMIL territory!

I don't know how they compare to 4k, as the 5k was already around when I started cycling. My personal experience is that grip is unparalleled, but they don't last for very long. I only ever had the full black ones.

I found from internet that cream sidewall tire is equal with black one so no reason to concern with puncture resistance. I start road cycling about mid 90's so lot of tires tested. I had some Michelin, Vittoria and Veloflex tires before I start to use Continental tires. Continental is given best value so far, that's my personal experience.

Zwift and Wahoo have asked the court to dismiss their cases against each other over the Zwift hub turbo.

Announcement about why this happened will be released shortly

Merger/takeover/buyout/joint venture?

If you feel like racing on Tuesday, sign up for this one at 18:15:



The more, the merrier, and a good pre-ZRL tryout/recon.

Just did test ride with new GP5000 tires and I regret that I didn't change them much earlier. Absolutely fantastic first experience, I manage to keep good effort quite nicely. Rain surprise me but that didn't flatten my mood.

I’ve used black, cream and transparent GP5000 - they all are very durable. You don’t need to worry!

Good to hear that, good to also have little bit peace of mind how the other users are experienced 👍.

Squeezed in a race this week. AHDR the Chop. Around Neokyo

A bit rusty but held on to finish in top 10. We were pipped with 150 yards by some of the As and Bs

Forgot to deploy my aero PU
