Just a reminder that losing weight is the first upgrade for your bike you should consider. No amount of carbon or aero will give you the gains in performance losing weight would.

there's a big difference between sprung and unsprung weight
that means the weight on your body is held up by your body which acts like a spring and makes it sprung so its like suspended and the forces of the weight are held by your body and not directly transfering to the ground and the road feel or the speed with rolling resister and the bike weight which is fully rigid of the and on all of the bike is just directly shooting down through tires into ground and makes atleast ten or a hundred times more differing big boy weight

A moderate (65% effort) endurance pace for about an hour is more effective at burning fat than sprinting or interval training. It's also potentially more effective as an accessory for leg gains.
Without a HRM, you can track this by being able to talk normally.
If you live in hilly areas this may or may not be a bitch to maintain unless your gearing and activity level is such that you can already granny-gear up inclines.

How hard can i push myself without risking heart injury?
i would consider myself fit, but untrained.

today i had an average heart rate of 165 for 45 minutes, with a segment of around 180 for 25 minutes, and a maximum of around 195.

Well sprinting is good for your heart, because it cranks your BPM up to 190 immediately.
But you can't do it for long, which makes it less effective for burning calories.
It's also more stressful then bike riding, making it so you can't do it as often.

according to this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii845pDRC2c (and i'm not talking about the retard) going all out with 190 etc. is not as good for your heart as a lower rate, because the heart can not fully expand at rate too high, which hinders its developement.

Into the bin it goes and a new bike, and new profit for the industry.

The only pro of carbon bikes is the easily aerodynamically shaping, which is in the end mostly beneficial for competition.

Friel discusses this in his book
The Cyclists Training Bible

he thinks it's a misconception that athletes are healthy, and that basically serious road cycling puts you at greater risk of heart failure than say a relatively fit unracer.

It's not about how well trained you are.

I just did
If you want to be healthy rather than fast, frequent, moderate exercise is the key.
You should be able to talk when you're riding.
You should be able to recover within 5 minutes after efforts.
Rides shouldn't be more than 1-2 hours.

Obviously being a serious athlete is better than being a sedentary fat shit, and being a serious athlete might be worth it because it's fun or it feels good or any number of reasons, but just realize, it's not healthy.

I highly recommend friels book, even though it's catered towards devising a training plan, it has a huge amount of general information about nutrition and health science and cycling which is very helpful for any cyclist.

this, the ideia with carbon is that you buy a new bike every year, that's why they put out new frames every year, they are light but very fragile when compared to other materials, and while carbon fiber is an extremely strong material, it is very weak to scratches and little dents, witch completely destroy the strength of the tubes, so unless you can afford a new bike after every crash, or at least after every year, you should avoid carbon for MTB, since it is very common to crash/hit the bike on things/hit things on the bike.

>>1630571

best material is steel, small tubes are best tubes.
but it makes not much difference, if you put enough money on the frame most materials will be ultra light and durable, but steel is cooler on a aesthetic level, for me at least

even though moderate intensity cardio burns more fat at the point of exercise it doesn't over the long run when compared to proper interval training. Interval training triggers a caloric afterburn effect after exercise which the body doesn't compensate with hunger for, enabling more fat loss over the long run.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348749527_Effect_of_Aerobic_Exercise_Intensity_on_Energy_Expenditure_and_Weight_Loss_in_Severe_Obesity-A_Randomized_Controlled_Trial

two obese groups, one on moderate intensity cardio and one on interval training. interval training group lost more weight despite no dietary changes.

interval training is also better than moderate intensity cardio to improve your oxygen capacity.

https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.594.6219&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Intervals are hard as fuck though, but they are way better than anything else for cardio gains

Poorfag cope. Lighter bikes feel better to ride. Anyone that's ever ridden a lightweight bike will tell you that.

Another poorfag cope. I've got a lightweight carbon bike that just made it over 50 000 km. Including a couple bigger crashes. Yes there are a few scratches on the paint but structurally it's perfectly fine.

>rotational weight doesn't matter
It does, but again on the feels department. Lighter wheels feel a lot better. They may not be faster than heavier deeper wheels.

Read the article for yourself. I just looked at the chart at the start.
Seems if system weight is 90kg and you're riding at a constant 30km/h on a flat grade you will burn about a thousand calories per hour.

Because separate bike lines cost money that city council isn't willing or able to spend. Also, parking spots would need to be removed which enrages the cagies

Steel is structural really strong, has great flex characteristics for compliance, can be repaired by normal people, and has fantastic longevity and impact/fatigue resistance. Combined with the trend of overbuilding bikes in the last 10 years, it seems like steel and the extra 3lbs it comes with is coming back stronger than ever

29” wheels are weaker than 27.5” and 26”. Plus as a fat guy you need to be very aware of the spokes counts, that’s very important
You’re under 250lbs aren’t you? Haha loser

>losing weight is the first upgrade for your bike you should consider. No amount of carbon or aero will give you the gains in performance losing weight would.
It's 100% true.
>90kg rider, FTP=250W: 2.78W/kg
>85kg rider, FTP=250W: 2.94W/kg
>75kg rider, FTP=250W: 3.33W/kg
On the climb, the 75Kg rider > 85kg rider > 90kg rider, every single time.
The numbers don't lie.
Lose 5 unnecessary pounds, become a faster climber, faster on the flat, too.

It is not blocking it anymore but it is still there and has been impounded because the company is refusing to pay for the traffic and freeing the ship. The ship has many containers full of bikes and bike parts and the containers are impounded along with the ship. Go figure.

Every single consumer hobby says the boat is full of exactly what they want to buy, is it a boat full of $3000 bikes, is it a boat full of the last GPUs until 2022, is it a boat full of 3D printing accessories?
My bet is that it’s a boat full of packing material, paper and plastic and is not interesting in any way whatsoever
