Is there not a silly rule banning you from pissing anywhere but the HQ toilet!?

What happens between the Holybourne RAB and Chawton RAB stays there...

Spot the gear calc nerd

It might surprise you but I didn't actually calculate this, it was just posted for a comic singlespeed vs. geared interlude.

totally changing to singlespeed next week

I think that's for the start of races. They don't want everyone pissing in bushes at the start. What happens on the road though is my business (and anyone unlucky enough to be catching me :P)

Pissing out of a tt suit must take some skill! Hard enough out of bibshorts.

It's #2s that take real skill...

So that's how you keep your chamois creamed!

50 on the 28th.

New ring on the way, so I can use 155mm cranks.

Limited time for er... "testing".

Maintain gear inches or gain ratio?

Gain ratio. As I understand it.

Or foot speed?

Or does that end up being the same as maintaining gain ratio?

Maintain gear inches or gain ratio?

Gain ratio. I made the mistake of not dropping the gear inches enough first time out on the 160s, it was horrible.

does that end up being the same as maintaining gain ratio?

Yes, that's what gain ratio is; the multiplier between foot speed and cycling forward speed.

Thanks all!

Hippy was taking things very seriously by the end:

Those TT helmets are so sexy.

your inspiration?

Oh hai!

What's the new skinsuit?

Meant to be @hippy

NoPinz

Hmm... that looks much more aero..

NoPinz/Bioracer

your inspiration?

I think the Javelin looks more Mekon than Ming

Who said black was slimming?

I assume this is opening up a whole canning factory of worms but how do you do a self-fit for aero extensions? I put some on my road bike and although it's hard to tell for sure, what I lose In cadence and not being able to breath properly makes up for any aero gains (at least on the 10m circuit TTs I'm doing). I'm not fast anyway, so working on general fitness etc blah blah blah

You should be able to breath just fine so something is wrong with your setup.
