On March 15th I'm going to see the final of the Revolution Series Elite Championship at the Lee Valley VeloPark. Hope it is good!

It's always a good night at Revolution meets in Manchester - think I've been to five or six now. Loads of race action for your money.

Home made headset press:

Fingers crossed that length of studding is long enough. But I blatantly know it won't be

Don't know about headset, but that looks like it would be a good bottom bracket press.

Looks good but you want both nuts on the outside of your bars to be able to get a spanner to them both. I built a similar contraption a couple of years ago but with wooden sections and it works perfectly.

Specialized bikes.

Sectuer vs Allez

Tarmac vs Roubaix

Anyone got any first hand experience of ownership or riding?

I'm interested to hear thoughts / opinions.

You missed out the Venge!

Haven't you only just got an Allez?

Haven't you only just got an Allez?

Yes.

Wondering about the others.

Given the cash, I would buy one of each and keep the one I liked best.

On last weeks group ride one guy had an I love Jens jersey on with all those facts written down the back. Brought a smile at 6am anyway!

Asked before and got told sufferfest was the way to go but how is best on a free way of training?

Is interval training the best way?

I do 30s top gear hard as I can, then 30s easy gear and pace x 10. 5 min easy then repeat. Try to do that a few times.

Looks like Tabata IE1 protocol. It's an excellent regime.

Does w/kg include the bike or not?

 

[ShiWarrior]

I see Chris Froome has defended his title on the Tour of Oman

 

[oli collett]

Does w/kg include the bike or not?

I believe it's normally without (it is on trainer road) otherwise there are all kinds of variables you could potentially stick in. For climbs some estimation models include the bike as obviously it starts to matter there

You only ever do sufferfest vids? Only done Angels myself and tend to do the interval ones on the site instead

I had to look it up to know what that was! Lol

I just started doing that because Laura Trott told Guy Martin to do it on his program and to get used to my time trial bike. Didn't know if it was any good.
