Installing a 45Nrth 60tpi Dillenger 4 with studs on a Mulefat 80 SL v2 27.5" rim. Should be straight forward but never is.
Let's Win Tulsa Tough...but I'm Obese

Cycling is a huge part of my life. And for the amount of effort I put into it I want to get more out of it. November 25th 2024, I got on the scale at 104.5 kilo or ~231lbs. At 5'9.5", thats a BMI of 33.6 I set a goal for myself, something I believe is achievable, of winning Tulsa Tough 2025 Arts district Cat 4 criterium. My goal is to weigh 80 kilo/180lbs by the Memorial Day 2025, and hopefully...
My Tulsa Tough Training Plan!
มุมมอง 4วันที่ผ่านมา
For the 2025 season, I'll be fully relying on trainer road to help guide me towards speed. I started my training plan for 2025 December 2nd, 2024, and I look forward to the many miles, intervals and struggles that are in front of me for my goal. Mistake about what base i was in, this was final day of phase 1, phase 2 started the next day. Thanks for following along and I'm happy to answer any q...

Average speed 26.1. 10th/ 3?. All the riders who crashed were ok. So were their bikes.

Got the second prime of the race. Around 7:10 minutes in, the edge of the asphalt caught my front tire into corner 4. Average speed 25.1. 10th place.

Ended up 18th/50. A person went down corner 1 which caused a restart. Average speed 25.1mph
Do you ride in any snowy/icy conditions with your wheel setup and what are your limits in these conditions?
I road 1 day on a very snowy trail just fine. 1" deep. I lowered my pressures by about 10psi and maintained pretty good grip up hills. I do not recommend this setup for consistent snow excursions tho. Ice is scary on any non studded tire.
I still ride to work here in vermont on my sl7 cool to see that 35mm tires fit. I think im gonna switch to the 32mm gp5000str in the summer. I might have to try out the pokies I have just been useing the new gorewear winter gloves but would be nice to just run a thinner one.
You get so much added control and less fatigue. Pogies and mtb gloves work well for me down to ~15F
Thought about that model, really want Di2, but this color frame trumps the comp colors. Plus money saved could get wheels….
I own a variety of bikes with mechanical and electric shifting...the 12s 105 is honestly amazing and has really nice shifting feedback.
@ yeah just ordered my bike with 105 di2.
@@smauller623 Congrats!
what's the measured width on those tires?
I just bought a micrometer. Will get back to you
Never thought 35c tires would fit the SL7, those tires are bomb proof! I have them on my commuter and I’ve never had a flat
I'm surprised too! Absolutely perfect to avoid flats and maintain some semblance of speed.
Nice 🤟
Thanks 🔥
Would love to see what you wear!
I'm in Chi. I'm a native. Just naw for me. November was my last ride. I'll see you March/April. But I appreciate your set up.
Def see you out there!
good stuff right there
And to you as well! Nero show episode was class.
Check out lobster gloves brother…. ASSOS IS THE BEST WINTER GEAR IVE EVER TRIED….
Good working bro. I like it
Those 3100 sound really good!
In high school I had a Buick regal GS two door with the 3.8. I outran a 70-71 Nova that was talking crazy shit. All he had was a 350 with a good sounding cam but it was slow
I thought you were gonna lose it on that last (one of) corner for a split sec lol. Well done!
Your positioning improvement from the halfway point was incredible.
I got dropped last year hard. I watched Jeff from Norcal Cycling and how he did it in 2023.
Nice line at 13:28
I spoke too soon 16:55 was even better
That outside line into 3 was the best place to not chop wheels and make up space for sure.
1k views. Don’t let the fame go to your head Rage
The accelerations out of turns 2 and 4 were brutal. 10/10 atmosphere though!
Dude fr. I was expecting a fast smooth race, not intervals every few seconds 💀
Not easy in the peloton, nice race
Mistakes will be made.
You gotta be carful with your cornering. Good Job! 👍🏽
Haven't crashed or crashed out anyone because of it!
170 watts with 85-90 RPMs at times. 💪
Heart rate, I don't have power up. My Average was 304 watts and normalized 330ish
Garmin VIRB
Yes yes😅
Good race
Was my first car. An absolute boat. Just blew the crankshaft about a week ago.
My first car was a 2000 Buick century given to me by my grandparents. It was a great car, never had any major problems. It rides like a dream, comfortable seats, and whisper quiet inside even on the highway. It wasn’t a fast car, but it wasn’t slow either. I had power when you needed it like when passing someone on the highway, but obviously it is never going to win any races. It was never meant to.
You have a cat delete?
yes
Those headlights are AWFUL!
Phone camera didn't do it justice they are fine.
Don't sleep on that buick
Yea lit in this bitch
Buick Regal: bet you ain’t fast* Buick Century: bet *goes 90mph* Buick Regal: damn you fast!
.
funny because I know it's not a fast car, but for an old granma car, I've taken down alot of modern cars from a 25mph roll, 2016 Chevy cruze turbo, 2016 Altima 4cyl, 2017 versa, all slow cars, but to get gapped by an old grandma car, it's still pretty funny.
Its hilarious. I had a old 1995 Buick Century years ago. And this guy pulls up in this shiny chrysler 300 girlfriend in passenger seat giving me this look, we both took off and i gapped him in my rusted clapped out buick. 😆😆
Wtf, Smurf talk: 4cyl vs a low end v6. You should win.
Same here. I cooked up a 2022 honda accord in my 2005 century. A downshift to first gear isn't bad and keeps up.
There must be something wrong with my car. Feels sluggish and has trouble keeping up at highway speeds (have gas pedal pressed a decent amount)
First Last Air filter helped and regular oil changes.
Rage Thomas Thanks. I'll try that. I also noticed a vacuum leak in the PCV hose, maybe that is a factor too.
@@zzoinks yea make sure to check the hoses and pcv filter, I changed mine at 118k, and I change my air filter every 10k, and oil changes every 3 months (i dont do alot of driving to rack up over 3k miles in that time). My radiator busted at 121k and I replaced it for under $200, might do a 50/50 trans fluid replacement, keep some of the old fluid in there
Not bad, was the Z loosing a bit control?
Well he didn't do a burn out and was not the best at driving. More money then skill.
+Ragerinthecage Damn, tbh you can't do a stand still burn out cause of fuel cut I bet thats why he didn't do it but with better tires he could match up.
+More Voltage Films | ストリート・カルチャー I've been able to do standstill burn outs on my 370z with VDC off rev to 3-4K rpms with clutch all the way to the floor and then dump the clutch
+charjohnnie sic I'm a 7AT and I can't even rev past 3k-4K to do a standstill burn out, I need to take out a fuse in order to do so
+More Voltage Films | ストリート・カルチャー gotcha didn't know you were AT, yea the VDC fuse I believe
