[quote="richv"][quote="Andrew G"][quote="Jon Hemming"]And vice-versa. I can't do anything near 300W, but regularly go under the hour.

Ivor, et al, I'm going to give this a try. Pearsons are knocking me up a mavic open pro 32 spoke campag hub wheel for £115. I've ordered the disk covers now from wheelbuilder. Question - what if any special tools might I need to get the cassette off my regular wheel? Does anyone have such a tool and can I borrow it when all the other bits are made? I would gladly pay a cake and/or beer related fee


Snoop let us know when you need the tools and we can sort something out.

[quote="Andrew G"]Paul, you are very smooth like Jon so can probably go very quickly for less power. People have done 55 minute 25s on 72" fixed gear which will be more to do with leg speed and smoothness than power.

Thanks Toks, I was going to point that out earlier but I had bigger fish (BT Broadband!) to fry!

[quote="Toks"]Oh deary me Mr Green what on earth are you on about.

[quote="Andrew G"][quote="richv"][quote="Andrew G"]Ah, the difference between pedaling and power output. Paul, you are very smooth like Jon so can probably go very quickly for less power.

You're right Rich, I don't know what power I produce in a race because I haven't used my Powertap in a race. But I know what figures I've seen on the turbo trainer and guesstimated from those. Last time I did any proper work on the turbo was in June last year, I was putting out 185W at 85% max HR, 200W at 90% HR, and was doing 5 minute intervals at 250W (which I was just about able to complete) . So I'd say I'm putting out something quite a bit less than your 290W estimate during a race.

[quote="richv"]If it's much less than that it will be because he has a very good aerodynamic position and is a small git who doesn't take up very much room so he has a very low drag factor.

Can you get over to the Power section of the forum and stop hijacking this thread

Can't remember what the shipping was I'm afraid. No problems with customs, they ship to the UK regularly and you're unlikely to be charged anything extra.

That's better
