ffs...this is not about me refusing to listen to either you or Andy. You are both far more experienced cyclists than me. I've only been riding fixed for a year and I know very little.
I just can't see why riding 10mi on 84GI at 90ish RPM is any different than any other human being doing 10mi TT on a road bike. Are we saying that JAMIE, Brave, BMMF, 6PT and our other fast riders who regularly ride 84GI+ at 90rpm+ on their bikes are damaging their knees?
In all seriousness, if TTing is going to damage my chances of riding comfortably in the future then I might reconsider racing this season!
Anyway...please, not for this thread. Pub on Tuesday if you're there or wherever...just not here!
EDIT: Just to add, I feel I was clear that I should not have been riding hills and streets on 84" on Saturday. It was a foolish oversight. Wouldn't want any young impressionable minds going out there and snapping legs in half trying to do Ditchling on 102" ;)
