I thought you were Dan Empfield for a moment
I beg for forgiveness and will wash my mouth out with soap
Nicely put Matt. I think I might be around 20-25% actually. Hard to know with just the slider.
In almost 2 years of Zwifting I’ve never been higher than 50% or lower than 15%. I just want enough to get a feel the hills without getting a smack in the face on courses like Harrogate when you suddenly hit a steep incline. This seems to work for me.
You mention AP and NP. Is this not more to do with the sudden shift in watts ie attacks and sprints, moving the AP away from the NP, rather than anything else? I know that in events where I’m surging a lot there will be huge gaps between the two. Wasted watts in some respect, but not in the dynamic of the game of course if you need to bridge an attack and then draft with that lead group away from the dropped riders.
On the sprinting. It’ll come the more you ‘play’. High rpm reps will help with that, unlock the fast twitch. I know Chris Pritchard swears by his weekly 10 x 15sec low gear high rpm.
That’s a good tip. I think that I will try the next spint at a much higher cadence. I wonder if at a low cadence I just hit a limit of the amount of torque I can push
Looking back at my streams I seem to be around 100rpm in sprints. When I do 10-15sec repeats in training I’m hitting about 140-150rpm. About 3rd gear up, but god they are tiring
We’re all busting to get the Tron bike, but it’s not the outright fastest bike on any terrain is it; so why are we doing it? My Madone is marginally faster on the flat, and the Tarmac pro/Enve is best climbing combo. I appreciate it’s the best all rounder, but if you already have a stable to choose from…
I don’t know TBH, just another challenge. I have a ton of bikes and wheels in my garage I’ve never touched and I have no intention of using the Tron bike. My plan is buy the Bollide but it won’t be any faster but all those losers flying past me will think I’m a dentist.

It looks cool init. I just like the challenge, something different to aim for.
Last night I randomly got 100,000 drops bonus, no idea why or what for. Just noticed it had jumped from 305,000 to 405,000
You get that when you level up to some multiple of 10
Ah thanks, hit level 10 that will be why
oh sweet, I’m nearly done with level 29
You usually get 100k drops for leveling up to level 10, 20, 30 etc. Did you level up?
Tron is the best in early levels and takes away decision making. What you need is the 858/disk wheels. Then you can grab frames like Felt AR and Venge and you’re as good or marginally better than the Tron on flatter courses. I still use Tron for bumpy courses. Only time I’d ever get the lightweight wheels out is for Road to Sky race.
Fastest for flat, light undulating.
you need to pump your tyres up.
He don’t got no cash for a pump. spent all his money on neon spokey dokeys.

I use it most of the time. Set and forget haha!
Looking very snaz, Daz.
I’m on the cusp of L24 and I’m still wearing the crappy shoes, no cool headwear, and not that much kit choice either tbh.
I don’t think most of the kit is particularly exciting. Shame we can’t customise.
