Thank you!!!

Hi sorry took so long to reply. Someone recommended it’s usually your 5 min power causing an issue. Can you do the hardest effort you can for just a few seconds over in Zwift? It may correct your power curve. Do you think it represents your true max 5 min power?

Thanks, I’ve raced again and tried to get cadence up.

We’ve just finished ZRL finals season I recorded the last race I’ll get it edited and up, thanks

Thanks, Polo the cat 🐈‍⬛ makes it. He likes marmite

Thanks, so spin more then? Did a 50 miler IRL yesterday and tried spinning more tried to stay above 90rpm

@@garethbutton I was thinking about this more yesterday mate. For me I’m 25 years old and race cat C going up to cat B. I have always been a spinner, event when I sprint I push around 125 RPM. However, my Dad, has always been more a grinder, I’ve tried to get him to spin more but he always goes back to grinding. I think the human body does what it thinks it can sustain. I would say probably grind a bit too much, my old man does around 75 RPM usually. You’ll get a lot of keyboard coach’s on here mate, you might even think I’m one of them which I fully appreciate if you ignore what I’m saying but I think a man who can grind such a big gear like that and stay with the front group has so much potential if he could just spin a bit more

Errrrr ok 6ft 1/2 inch. Was 6,1 but spinal surgery twice has made me shorter 😂😂

I think your right I need to get my cadence up

Except more cadence puts more strain on the cardio, slower cadence pots more strain on the muscles and joints themselves. So with higher cadence you should see higher HR

@@jujurm It seems you’re right about this, but I still think experimenting with a higher cadence would be worthwhile. I never get out of the saddle or above gear 12 on zwift and my HR average is rarely above 135/140..

@@rolandhoward8421i agree with you for the gears though, even if it depends a lot on his trainer difficulty setting. The main focus needed here is trying not to burst as much à he is, and keep a steady pace as much a possible Too many violent efforts do burn some matches that you won’t have later on

@@jujurm You can use both back and forth for different situations. Like uphill slow it down, and if you're cruising in a pack or or downhill spin a higher gear for some recovery.

Thank you

Nice thanks Pete. Didn’t go that well in DIRT series getting flattened 😂

Wow you remember pre M40 days as well. True, and that lovely chap that did the parking there for many years as well. He was a legend.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!

80mm Stem and I think 38. Normally have 40cm but wanted to go narrower as on my old bike I get shoulder pain. Seems comfy, when it’s drier I’ll ride it more and review.

Was Black Friday deal in sterling pounds, frame, bars and wheels £1900. 80mm stem with 38cm bar width.

@@garethbutton Nice deal!

Thanks, yeah feels really nimble. My old bike has 25mm tyres as well so this feels a little nicer on the bumps on the 28mm tyres

Your valve caps are awesome. Love the white and black as well such a close call. They seem so well made. Wicket value for money but yes mechanical 12 speed would have been cheaper 🤣😂

Hi, I don’t have decent scales to hang it from. Hoping to take to local bike shop and get weighed as part of the review in the next one. I am hoping for say 7.8kg but I really don’t know.

Weight is nearly irrelevant for performance. Aerodynamics and stiffness matter way more and that's something nobody can measure at home

I have weighed at the bike shop now. 7.4kgs no pedals or bottle cages though

I’ve really enjoyed the build. Take your time don’t force things to hard and you should be good. It’s been kind of relaxing except when a cable got stuck 😂. Good luck I’ll be sharing the build next. One tip when you cut steerer is don’t push on blade too hard. Other than that everything else can be done and re done if not right

Are you on Zwift. If you are sign up to the Everest challenge.

@@garethbutton of course I am but I hate them hills.

@@lukevirtualgameruk3523ha that’s where I get dropped all the time

Ha thanks haven’t done drone vid in ages

I know right 😉

Thanks

Ha thanks

thanks

Thanks!!

Thanks!!!!

You're welcome!

Very kind thank you!!

Thanks, it might be more when I edit so makes it much more obvious. If you click through frame by frame you can the jumps and skips if that makes sense.

@@garethbutton understand but most of the time I wouldn’t do that I would just watch the video. I think the more professional you are the more chance of noticing these things. Maybe my mind isn’t seeing what others see and it’s a bit like listening to music whining love listening to but often can’t hear what others would normally pick up.

Thanks for heads up. Yeah I’ve had to replace one prop so far. I will, I’ve got an adapter to put my controller in my handlebars hoping to try that tomorrow

I like it it’s my first one and I like taking it out

Yeah your right my GoPro had this issue in my garage with the strip lights on. What FPS do you use?

@@garethbutton I think I'll go with 30. You can always shoot in 24/25 and interpret the footage in Premiere up to 30, might be handy if you want to speed it up 20% without degrading the footage.

@@AtomBom8 yeah I should try 60 for some nice slow mo.

Not yet I should. I need to change to Galaxy purple 😜

No problem I’m still learning. It’s been very windy here I want to be out with the drone again really

So you can take off and land in the field safely. I’ve done it a fair bit now.

Ah thanks, do you have a drone?

@@garethbutton Yes, a few camera drones and all the licenses required here in Finland. Mini 3 pro is my newest one. Also got some racing drones. Been flying camera drones for many years, just as a hobby. When it comes to racing drones I’m learning the basics. Used to fly rc airplanes and small helis when younger. Still do it sometimes, and build a few, but not so often.

@@kenspaceman3938 What do you think to the Avata I would like to get one.

@@garethbutton I don’t have it, I‘ve got the predecessor the DJI FPV drone, which I think is great for camera drone flyers transitioning to real race drones. The Avata is even better for this, especially in the Explorer bundle with the Integra goggles and Motion controller 2. That gives you head tracking. But if you’re going to eventually transition to real race drones you want the normal controller with sticks. Be aware though regarding the Avata drone, there’s been reports of some race drone manouvers that doesn’t work out as it should. Just search on CZcams vids about the Avata and it’s flight characteristics. I would recommend a real race drone expert on CZcams, Joshua Bardwell from the U.S.

You're welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I work full time and it’s been a bit stressful recently. Your comment made my day and really made me smile so thank you!!!!!!! I’ll get more vids out soon 😜

I was doing that, saw a few videos suggesting May stress the motors so tried this way now

It really is!

Thanks, my first attempt editing something so heavily.
