My bike has a Shimano 8515 rear derailour and as gear levers reprisenting 24 gears (3x8)
Can someone recommend a size to get ?
A: There are plenty more sizes then that as well. So tell me what kind of bike you have? What kind of riding do you do? Are you a strong rider? Will you be riding lots of steep hills, some hills or almost none? The answers to these questions is why there
I've been thinking about getting my brother a road bike for his birthday in april, and this caught my eye. Frankly, I know little about specs, so I was wondering if anyone could take a look at the site or the info below and tell me what they think.
Hi,
I completed my first olympic triathlon in August and I did the 40km cycle in 1hr 13 mins (approx 33km/hr). I want to put some hard work into my cycling and improve this average time.
Can anyone provide my with some 40km time trial/triathlon specific training workouts? Should I be doing interval training? Long rides? shorter/faster rides?
Not interested in buying a state of the art ВЈ4000 triathlon bike to gain an extra few km/hr – I just want to get fitter
please advise!
Thanks.
Assuming that you have a good basic fitness, because you presumably finished the triathlon, to increase your speed on the bike over short distances, like 40km. Try splitting your training ride into small sections of say 4 or 5k, after a warm up of maybe 8 to 10k, further if you need, ride alternate 4 or 5k sections at race speed with a steady, but not too easy, speed in between each hard section. maximum effort with a recovery of about 2 minutes between each sprint, do these until you cannot manage max effort each time, then have an EASY warm down ride of maybe 8 or 10k If you’ve been honest you won’t feel like going any further, next day have a moderate paced, fairly flat ride. Other than specific speed work, do you have a cycling club that hold time-trials near you? if you do, go and ride them, you cannot train for racing without racing
) ! Your race speed will increase !
Edit: If you are only doing this for triathlon, avoid using big gears, they will probably stuff up your running section, concentrate on turning a lower gear faster, you use a lot less energy and should maintain speed more efficiently.
I would work on getting stronger. Try long gradual climbs, about a 3% average gain, and ride at about 65 cadence. When I have a race that is pretty flat, I will go train on windy days and ride against the wind. Nothing hurts more than riding into a head wind. This training hurts but if race day is on a calm day you will feel like a feather out there. I would also look at your body and see if you have any chunky spots. If so, you should do some 5-7 hour rides to lose the extra chunk. I hope this helps. Good luck
...Budget: - Rs 50,000 to Rs 85,000
Requirements
1)enough top speed (120 kmph and above)
2)smooth gears and smooth engine
3)full of facilities
4)fuel economy – 50 kmpl and above {as petrol prices are above Rs 50}

While it took me 19 minutes to get to work, the ride home only took a breezy 13 minutes. Less bushes, more speed, and only one guy at a stoplight who tried |
