Thursday Night - Hour of Power

But then I would need a brake, and my front wheel isn't machined.

Yeah, 66" usually, then I flip the wheel round to 74". Fixed/fixed hubs ftw

I've got fixed/fixed.

That's what I was thinking....

What cogs/chainring combo are you using? I'm thinking of something similar, but wondered if moving to a smaller cog would move the axle too far back.

I swap from a 16 to a 19 without issue atm, which is plenty of GI jump for your 'I want to go quicker' needs. Could get away with more if I wanted.

I'll be rollin' on 48x17 (but not this week as i'm not here!). I can hold 18-20mph no bother but struggle to go quicker than that without upping the GI's.

If you run 66 and average 32 kmh round the park average cadence would be around 100 rpm. Up towards 40 kmh would be closer to 130. Doesn't sound to spinny to me, but I guess it depends how fast you will be riding.

but that's an average, got to factor in traffic lights.

True, but I doubt moving average would be a great deal higher. Spinning at 110 might be just the ticket, depending on what your objectives are.

Depending on traffic lights (how many of the 3, timing thereof) moving avg is usually 1 to 3mph faster. Ish.

130 avg is pretty spinny for an hour.

Has riding fixed changed you to a spinner?

I am going to do this. People riding fixed I can either run 49 17 or 49 15. I want to try and match up to most people atm I will leave it at 49 17 (74.5)

What time is everyone arriving, early?

i can do from 6pm, anyone else have a preference?

Looks like brotherly duties mean im gonna be doing laps from 5-6 as I have to pick up my sister from her flute lesson at 6:30

Nah - I just factored in my slowness!

Definitely changed the cadence to the extent I am spending a lot more time in the inner ring on the geared bike now though.

5-6 means I might get involved. If my body sorts itself out, was not happy pushing pedals today.

May well be in next week.

so is it 5?

ive finished now so i may even head down soon. just got to sort that squeak out in my pedals first

Gotta wait for a bloke to come fix the oven. And I'm lazy. So I'll be staying at home with a good book instead of going round in circles in the sun.

Had to take bike to the shop due to dodgy headset and someone's coming to do some wheel swapping.

#excuses, excuses.

Hour of power wouldn't be the same without all excuses.

I should be doing solo laps anyway

I'll be fashionably late.

T-shirt weather! Heading out for a ride now. I'll be at the gates or for 5 if anyone's doing this.

I'll be on a white TT frame with purple flat bars. Will pm number to Laner, XH, CB maybe see you later, Cheers!
