21mm tyres are the quickest, as you can get them to 210psi, which is better, as it’s bigger
tubs are better than clinchers
red is the fastest

Add to that;
Oval chainrings
Over sized jockey wheels

Forget fat adaptation but training while glycogen depleted has definite benefits in mitochondrial function.
I love the confirmation bias and cherry picking combo on Fitter Radio podcast when it comes to LCHF and triathlon/sports performance. Any study that doesn’t sho what they want was vastly flawed but this other thing about tumeric tea is awesome

My brain still doesn’t understand whether I should be doing exercise in the AM fasted, not fasted, using fatty foods using glucose. There’s so much ‘science’ out there that it’s hard to unpick. My dentist tried telling me that all gels are bad and you don’t need them at all (he was probably moaning about my teeth not my performances).
If you use avocado and coconut oil as a chamois cream you can gradually absorb the fat through your bum cheeks and fuel your ride that way.
I hope that is eventually the point of this thread. I love nerding out on exercise physiology.
