Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

56x16

That's what I had on Tuesday, just about managed 80rpm. Have put the 18T sprocket on for tonight.

On 160mm?

Weirdo!

On 160mm?

Yes. Definitely in the wrong gear gain.

What cranks did you go for in the end?

;)

It's a difficult one on the V718 as the turn is a pain in the ass on fixed, but you're sitting >50kph on the DC. Will look at the weather and how well I do this weekend but at the moment erring towards 116" (I've got a 56t and a 58t).

"Just pedal faster to go faster" they said...

where are you TTing on a Tuesday...?

or is it just training?

Reading CC run Tuesdays, venue changes every week.

Still on the (TH Industries?) beater/beta cranks, still no decision between THI's finest and Rotor if I decide to upgrade.

Are the THI something other than the Spa Cycles' on the RollerFort?

Spa are sold out of 160mm doubles: will a triple present any problems that some dremel-love can't solve?

SJS have (judging by the MPN) 160mm doubles, but at twice the price.

Any idea who actually makes these 155mm HOY Cammo cranks? £50 is a bit much to satisfy my curiosity.

Orign8?

Thanks.

A quick gogle finds O-8 mentioned in the same breath as RPM and EigthInch, so if I can find the actual manufacturer then I might be able to source them for Spa-money...

I wonder if Bikesmith can hack crabon UT?

Yes, they look like the Hoy ones. No idea what they are, I bought them second hand from somebody on here.

Can't see any difference apart from the 74mm PCD posts for the third ring

RPM is the cheap OEM brand of TH Industries.

Sorry to spam.

If anyone wants my Adamo TT in black holla.

Happy to sell it as need to buy something. Out before in.

Price?

A much more tolerable 92rpm tonight. Still travelling slowly, but at least my legs were going round.

£100 delivered. It's as new.

Fixed is basically silly.

I was thinking this exact thing a couple of hours ago when a bloke with gears cruised past me all nonchalant as I was bouncing around at 140rpm. #tailwind

Right you are. I'll ask whether @Cycliste is interested - I know she's been looking out for one.

So you geared wrong?

I have eighthinch black cranks in 130bcd 160mm (I think- they should be hiding in my shed) that anyone can have for postage from Ireland if they want.

edit-looking at their site- maybe they're 144bcd?

Yeah. Underestimated the wind and overestimated the hills.
