doesn't even have dropped seat stays!
Dropped stays don't help with airflow over the rear wheel. This bike is all about reducing the drag from the moving wheels.

if you live in Glasgow city centre it takes you some 15-20m just to cycle out of town..
If you mean 15-20 minutes to cycle out of town yes it does and that is really reasonable. If you mean 15-20miles I can only imagine you are riding from the city centre to Airdrie to leave.

Aye target fixation, you look at something and you end up heading towards it regardless.

Re: Decent wheels for commuting and winter training (UK)

One observation. I think the bike started feeling uncomfortable when a. I changed wheels (from the old R5 to the newer R5 LG, they are wider rims) and in parallel I lost weight. Tyre is 23mm. Is it perhaps an easier problem to fix? I.e I am running a pressure that it is too high?!? 100PSI for 68kg....

there were riders reconning it 9 hours ago according to instagram
They were able to have a look at sections. But not the full course which is why for example Dowsett didn't know the hill was a big as it is.

They do a recon in the morning, it was the same barrier. I can understand that he wanted to carry more speed through the corner than others, but it's called taking a risk.
They couldn't do a recon in the morning because of La Course was using parts of the TT course

Re: 2019 PRO thread

very odd choice though considering they can get their bikes at the weight limit with Shimano wheels.. with more width and better aerodynamics :noidea: There was chat about Sky using software to simulate stages to inform equipment choice re aero vs weight, using variables like time in bunch, time in...

Re: 2019 PRO thread

BTW is there at Dirty Kanza any doping control ?? I mean at least for the top 5 after the race? Nope But Wada could show up for an out of competition test on pros. If any of the riders have a US license USADA could just turn up and do a random dope test, you don't have to be a pro to be tested.
