Roadies, report in. Where do you ride. What sort of distance is your average ride. What average speed do you ride. What do you ride?

I'm riding between 40 and 50 miles on a sunday morning, tackling some decent hills (cat 4 according to strava) and riding at 15mph. pic related.

Depends on what I'm doing if it's a commute then it's like 4-5 miles with some hills 17-25 on flats 10-16 on hills but if I'm doing a long ride then it's more like 18mph (the trail near me is almost perfectly flat for like40 miles one way.

>drunk right now so take this with a grain of salt but I'm double checking and evrything looks right

Where = different places, prefer mountains. I have some nice HC climbs around my area which are fun.
Speed = Average for the whole ride is generally around 30-35 depending on how much of it is spent climbing.
What = Aluminum frame, but upgraded to ultegra, really light wheelset, etc.

Rides are generally around 100-120km and now that I have classes I can only realistically get out twice a week. During summer usually 3 or 4 times a week.

>Where do you ride
Mountain roads around the coastline, or some steeper mountains as the season advances.
>What sort of distance is your average ride.
About 50km.
>What average speed do you ride.
Depends on the climbing I'm doing. 30km/h in the flats, 20-25km/h when there's hard climbs in the route.
>What do you ride?
Pic related, training wheels included.

I was kidding, sorry. A lot of people find front wheels with a 2x spoke crossing "ugly", and prefer radial lacing. It doesn't make much of a difference.

>>893477
It's only got three rides, so I'm still playing around with bar height and saddle position. My carbon supplier found a factory that works with LOOK molds and uses decent carbon layouts, so I ordered the frame from them. It handles way better than I thought. 640€ in T700 carbon, 750€ in T800.

As soon as I get my carbon wheels back I'll be taking some decent pictures.

That is such a beautiful bike.

>Schwalbe tyres
I'm assuming you're replacing these soon? I personally had bad experience with a pair. Got a puncture within a month of purchase. And I don't even ride for long distances nor do I ride that frequently.

I'll still use them a little more as training tires. I haven't had a single puncture in about 1800km, I'l always running them at 7'5-8 bar. The grip is quite good given their price range, but the rolling resistance and weight are too much for anything other than training.
On my usual carbon wheels I use Michelin Pro4, 23mm wide on 23mm rims for maximum ultimate aero gains. Well, and because 700x23 was on sale.

I live near the coast, so do a lot of riding up and down. It's nearly always windy. Try to go at least once a week to the nearly hills, about an hour's ride away. Nothing in the area above cat 2 though.

30-90 km per ride mostly, sometimes do more.
Average speed 25-30 km/h depending on conditions.

My main bike at the moment is an ultegra garbon avanti corsa SL. It's quite nice, but the headset has been fucky.

Stem assemblies like that just LOOK fundamentally wrong. I think canyon do it on their flat bar bikes too.

>>893485
>implying a single puncture judges the quality of an entire marque

It's their entry level shit-hoops, what were you expecting?

When I got the new bike with Kenda Kountach tyres earlier this year I got a puncture on the first fucking DAY riding them.

That would have been fine, if not for the 5 or 6 more over the next 2000 km.

I'm sorry, I was actually referring to the Luganos and not Schwalbe as a whole.

I did correct myself here: >>893486

Ah, my bad.

http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews has a lot of good information about tyres if you're still (?) looking for something to replace them with.

Summer time: 2-3 20 milers after work a week at 18-20 mph average on a flat path, sat and sun I rotate a flat 50, a 35 cx path, a 60-70 mountain climb with cat 2-4 hills according to strava and a hilly-ish 50. Averages vary depending on various factors.

Winter: if its nice I ride what I can when its nice enough, mountains are a no go as I don't like cold and ice, spend a lot more time in the gym... I will hit the cx bike sometimes in nasty mud and snow every now and then just to prove to myself I still can.

I originally bought a couple of those to sell to weight weenies (194g), but once I tried one of them I found it quite comfortable. It's really well vented, has a dick-hole and is just bendy enough to dampen road vibrations.
