can anyone tell me what the power analysis is actually showing on the ridecontrol app? Is it acting as a powermeter showing the amount of power being input by the rider, or is it a power usage showing the amount of battery being taken out of the battery?
And if its the latter, and you have...
I did the lighthouse challenge yesterday, well the half course of 92km. 1.5km climbing, and in the saddle for 4:30 hours in total, wearing Castelli free aero in size 2xl, probably a little tight on me, especially around the thighs and belly :D but no sit bone ache, or chaffing or sores of any...
Had an epic ride yesterday, started off in the rain but it soon cleared and it was a fantastic day, cloudy but not too hot.
I tuned all my modes down to their lowest settings, and mostly used it in eco at 50% support.
When the going got really steep I’d switch up to eco+
I’d turn it off for...
I went with schwalbe marathon almotion evo and fitted them tubeless.
they are a heavyish tyre, but I wanted something virtually puncture proof and that would grip well in the rain.
the tyres worked really well.
hardly any tyre noise on the tarmac and seemed to be a lot smoother and faster...
Well done, that was a fantastic ride. Hope your arse has recovered, I just about made it on my 4 hour trip. Going to try to get a decent pair of bib shorts before the day.
I’m 100kg in my birthday suit, add on a few kg for my shoes, clothes and the additional bits I carry, and 25kg for the bike.
im doing the island lighthouse challenge, well the half (92km) rather than the full (160km) on 4th July, it’s a big sportive here, so just going to enjoy it, I’m guessing...
that's epic mate, well done! I'm doing a sportive (well the half distance) of 92km on my eMTB, I've tried out all parts of the route (including approx 2km of climbing) in eco on my giant fathom, and I reckon I'll easily get around with some battery to spare. I've just swapped out my knobblies...
cheers for this, I measured my sitbones for my ergon ebike saddle, but haven't got on with it. I'm going to go commando, but I have just ordered a pair of castillo free aero bibs in xxl because a) they are now on sale and b) they seem to be the gold standard in terms of comfort and slidability...
Right, I'm doing this 92km road sportive on my EMTB, and I reckon that I'll be about 5 hours in the saddle. I've tried the ergon ebike saddle and finally gave up on it and yesterday went back to my trusty fizk gobi, as I can ride about an hour or so longer with that before getting sore bum...
I never thought about getting a kickstand for my mountain bikes, mainly because for my non-electric bikes they were just an added weight, and if we are spending £££'s on shaving grams off the weight of our peddles, why would we throw unnecessary weight back onto the bike? and a kickstand is just...
