first for low cadence

>>129729
my knee hurt just lookijng at it

>>129729
how i feel like scoring a 2% rampa

>>129737
saw a rider the other day scoring like 30 rpm up a climb because he could not shift anymore (shifter battery ded) and he did not want to get off the bike to manually change gears

>>129738
on related note, it's unreal the different amount of cables you "need":
>usb2 for garmin
>usb3 for light
>garmin charged for watches (i don't wear watch during ciclismo tho)
>di2 charger
>soon the hr strapon charger
>coin battery for gear levers
before that i would also be a special charger for assiomas

>>129740
>usb2 for garmin
>proprietary charger for garmin watches
been a while since I hated on garmin eh
reminds me that a guy here recently went to town on an 11 speed campagnolo electronic system. He literally made his own battery and charger and fixed the motor of one of the derailleurs.
I gave that guy my ded di2 shifters but he never followed up on that. He just posted me one photo of a dismantled lever, in the style of a cartel execution 2bh

Hi

Now it works. Anyway, QUIZ TIME: https://www.sporcle.com/games/Bakbanaantje/uci-ranking-top-100-2026-uci

Let's see if you have been paying attention

>>129745
bruh

I put POGACAR in and pressed I give up

>>129745
fancellu is a top 100 rider, the stench of sulfur is unbearable

>>129747
time's too short
also there's some fucking FRAUDS in that list holy shit

>>129750
I got 93

>>129745
60, far too early to do this, I am also in off season form.
Couldn't get the Uno-X spelling right for a minute and slightly gave up.

stupid game didn't recognize Almeida. and elite rider like him surely must be in the top 100.

WE LIVE IN BURKINA FASO

>>129751
>quiz DOPAGE
it's come to this..

I can't spell half these names, that's the only thing holding me back

>Johannessen
TWO FUCKING Ns ARE YOU KIDDING ME
>Izagirre
I was convinced there was a u in here somewhere
>Vermeersch
That second r is only there to troll

58/100 overall.

Correct spelling is also a form of attention paying. You have to do BETTER

>>129757
Gaynnessen and then I tried punching in Hoelgaard? Holegaard? Holegard? for the next 30 seconds just to understand it's the other guy and I kept blanking on the German from Red Bull, went flaccid and just checked out.
Also fucking CHE is Switzerland?? The FUCK, I am not taking these quizzes ever and this has shown.

>>129759
Confoederatio HElvetica of course

>>129760
Che cosa..

Everyone's performance is being assessed btw, regarding the yearly salary raise/contract extension. For some Berts it is not looking great

DNS Maillot Jaune

>>129758
the game should accept names like el rato and captain america. How am I supposed to know that these guys have real names?

>>129764
I actually struggled for a sec to remember mcnuggets real name

Vin, cyclisme, and Mormon women

ofc you all got more than me (zonder foto {does not count})

gr*v*l fever

I was thinking and if the gr*v*l episode revival proves to be a success, i will buy a second set of wheels (already explained why in the previous episode) but WILL put some 40mm road tires just for fun on them. Ideal for autumn/spring road ciclismo in dubious condition too.

>>129769
good! ETA of the cube?

>>129771
Early spring I guess

>>129769
gonna ride on the gravel in five minutes!

>>129773
wish I could aswell, got massive DOMS from the two hikes though

>>129774
My thursday hike was 27km/1000m elevation and I could walk easy afterwards, barely any DOMS! Too bad the season is over (except for ocassional suicide mission in the bohemian alps)

>>129775
even did some meme hiking ""trainings"" this year, same climb tree times

>>129768
Good thing you are on a Malawi salary

>>129775
>27km hike
bwoah, I don't know if there are any routes that long in the eastern alps.

>>129776
>same climb tree times
now THATS my kind of autism

>>129770
35 is more than enough for anything you will do with it

To exactly no one's surprise, Urko BERRADE FERNANDEZ from Kern Pharma Dopage to XDS Astana Team now official

Lea Lin TEUTENBERG back to contishitter level

>>129766
I'll have you know that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is prime reality TV. Out there with the likes of Married at First Sight and Love is Blind.

>>129782
So what are they doing in secret

>>129783
Sex, gossip and backstabbing their friends.

>>129784
So like every woman

The idea of a Finnish academic watching "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" while raping in a grungy basement is very amusing to me

I ran out of the the ecathlon iso drink, tried buying new one from DM thinking it was orange flavoured. It's not orange, it's that thing like grapefruit, but it's not that either.
It doesn't taste very good. Looks like morning piss too (if you pissed blood)

>>129786
Until you remember that his wife is in the mental ward, then it seems rather tragic.

>>129785
Yes.

>>129786
I have to disappoint you I'm the other one.

>>129729
Some low cadence stuffs today

its so cold and dark outside s m h

>>129790
rampa training, admirable
as for me, pic related

>>129792
>>129790
third day in a row
kinda dead-ish, kinda gone-ish
tomorrow a BIG rest day, a burger is most likely on a menu

>>129787
blood orange?

>>129794
yes

>>129793
I need to get back on the threshold train

>>129796
dangerously low amount of protein

>>129798
They have like 20 different protein bars but 1 of the is exceptionally tasty, i never remember which one

Turns out I made my MTB cassette kill, after switching the crank to 36 and getting a brand new chain from KMC.
It all works fine with no load, it all works fine while pedaling on the bigger cogs but I can't switch to the smallest cogs, they just make the chain skip like stupid, no hope of any adjoostment with the barrel.
So after careful consideration and telling Grok to think harder and make no mistakes, doing some other adjoostments along the way, it looks like a new tiny paypiggery was to be committed.

>>129800
yup nothing to adjust here the skipping cogs are worn, no way around it

And the switch to 36 crank so I can have something to pedal with on the small cogs was the whole point of this operation.

>>129796
you should try Bulk supplements (brand), cheap mix and large quantities but gets the job done, often you can find plenty of discount codes around to make it even cheaper

>>129803
Yeah, my brand of choice although there are better brands out there.
But that's whey mixes and creatine mainly, for me, they can't be bad in energy drinks.

>>129800
bring it to me shop

>>129803
that's an unfortunate name for searching purposes

>>129803
>>129806
https://www.bulk.com/nl/products/complete-hydraterende-drank/bble-chyd
BIG discount though

>>129807
15 eur to get a 1kg bag of each flavor, sounds like an easy choice

>>129807
what is this
just put sugar in your bottle

>>129809
i'm not a peasant

World champion signing for decathlon

Also you don't need sugar drink for your 1h rape session

>>129812
but coach caude told me I NEED 60g of malto per hour minimum

>>129810
way too little carbs in that
this is piss

>>129814
88g in 100g?

>>129815
you're DONE and DUSTED

>>129816
remember I am entering age when dopage is socially acceptable, expected, recommended and required

>>129817
I've been saying it again and again
EVERYONE on /bert/ should be legally required to dope. At the very least get on trt

a day natural is a day wasted, quite literally. All for naught

imagine the faces of your peers as you pull them for 120 km on the first group ride in spring because you gained 85 watts over the winter

>>129818
i can be a salbutamol & corticosteroid supplier if you want, i've got doctors notes for both

Berts

It finally happened

Well I have trialed the "Video" feature of Zwift Plus (it's free for Zwift subscribers for a week before I am accused of excessive paypiggery).

I did the Upper Bonette route. It looked okay on my TV, but I'm also used to slightly shitty picture using AppleTV. Apparently it looks worse the more high-def your output is.

It really does feel quite lifeless. You can't steer, there's no sense of motion really. The camera for some reason is sort of off to the side to create a cinematic feel, but it just pointed to the barren slope on the side of the screen with basically no views of the alps during the ascent. You can't do group rides or races on the routes. Seems incredibly pointless right now. Maybe if they really flesh it out it might be worth doing instead of regular route, but right now, routes are a DOWNGRADE from Watopia despite the premium price.

I got called a "boomer" today!

for...

Also I had a bit of a Bertacek situation during the climb. I updated my shifters (I use the Zwift Play controllers) and the left one wouldn't pair properly, so I couldn't downshift. I was stuck climbing the 10-12% sections at like 50 rpm

>>129825
...not knowing about the Windows Emoji and Symbol Picker hotkey
I responded with
>ls -laht
and got the Gen Z stare
ffs

>>129826
heh

>>129827
💀📈

>>129827
i don't know what any of these words mean

>>129829
😒😭

>>129826
low cadence efforts are good

>>129833
Are they? I do them sometimes for variety's sake but somehow I don't feel there is some benefit beyond normal cadence

>>129827
Huh, the more you know. But as far as I can tell, it's not discoverable at all and only accessible through the keyboard shortcut (which you'd only know after reading the online documentation). On the other hand, the old character map is still there and actually discoverable via the start menu.

>>129835
>character map
When there were no games or I was utterly bored with solitaire or minesweeper, I could stare into this map endlessly, all these funky chars.

what is it about? some presentation of the giro d'italia donne con zwift with the mens route attached to it.

female mayor blowing the city budget to host the girls giro for 5 years in a row.

Kinda weak on the milf game this year. Giro isn't what it used to be

giro start in Italy, I don't even remember the last time this happened. they do cross immediately into Slovenia though

this is bait

does Seixas have to do the tour? looks like a good Giro that he could win.

>>129845
Good chance he does skip the tour for giro. Said he wanted to peak for world

There is some white stuff on my tomatoes. If I have been eating mold I am fucking LOSING it

>>129847
what else but MOLD could it be? There ain't nothing white on tomatoes naturally
>>129834
yea I did like a good chunk of all efforts low cadence in previous offseasons

>>129839
whats the too late; didn't watch on this?
Seixas vs Dopo kino possible? Do I remember correctly that the giro is now later?

>>129848
I am paying BIG bucks for some PREMIUM stuff here
>>129849
Ok demolishing that shit with a flame torch

sprinters please come to Italy

>>129852
I sleep

>>129852
Is this for sprinters. 4 sprints, yes indeed, but the other ones are after a nice at least 2km 5% punches.
Or am I psyoping everyone including meself into self-sabotage already.

>>129854
just click BRENNAN in and done

>Aubin Sparfel: "I'm not Paul Seixas."
me neither. are you Bert?

>>129857
still looking for my +50w this winter, any tips or tricks

>>129858
wrong del topo pic

>>129857
...no

gegege

>>129863
there's a burger in your egg

>>129863
nice
>meal zonder ride
stunning and brave!

>>129866
um, yes, some Schwarzbrot...

>>129867
Seriously tho, I always see these little rectangles of incredibly dense black or brown German bread at the market. How are these breads typically eaten?

>>129868
Pumpernickel? I put them in the toaster.

I don't know how you berts do it, especially mentally

>>129868
Good savory spread and whatever you want, usually tangy taste will work better, so more like pickles than cucumber, more like hard goat cheese than gouda etc.

>>129870
i am fueled by rage especially on rouvy

>>129868
20% fat quark (or whatever it is called in english, we call it topfen) and picrel

bruh that shit burnt I ain't falling for it

>selling a couple things
>get czech (slovak), hungarian and japanese people in my dms
>on my deutsche plattform
alrighty

>>129870
This is what 30/30 is better. Way less hard mentally I find, but not as good for VO2. 40/20 is better but physically it's real really hard

>>129870
you have to enjoy pedaling hard, that's it. There is no toughness to it if you enjoy doing it
if you don't enjoy pedaling hard there is no way you can do it in any way long term, that's the simple answer

>>129878
Doing it outside and inside are two different things
