Getting my nutrition right for HIIT sessions and more importantly for cycling events. This specific event is a UCI qualifier called the Tour de Brisbane, and for the first time ever I fuelled properly prior to the event. It was either a major coincidence or a strong signal that I haven't been fuelling properly on the bike for 10 years. You see, typically I will fade the deeper IO get into a road race.

SPD Pedals for Road Cycling (pros & cons) Cam Nicholls 2022-12-21 | About Neill Stanbury: https://neillsbikefit.com.auChannel Subscription: bit.ly/2NViYKIWhat's the best pedal system for beginner cyclists? That can really depend on the individual and what they're trying to achieve. A few weeks ago on this channel I was pushing the Wahoo Speedplays. Not because I was getting paid by them or because I'm in bed with them. It's simply because I have used Speedplays for roughly 13 years and I personally think they're the best pedal system. However, my opinion should not get in the way of 'balance' in a video, which recently happened! By mistake. So this video is designed to carry on from the previous video, outlining the SPD pedals system, which was overlooked in the previous video. #cycling #pedals

Emerging carbon wheels brands. There seems to be a lot of them and the carbon wheel market is becoming more and more crowded. So what's the point in investing into a boutique carbon wheel player when you can buy mainstream and have the peace of mind. In this video we'll be delving into that question, via speed tests, a mechanics point of view, and a general overview of each rim. Aaron will be pulling apart the hubs and giving us a mechanical run down. Regarding the speed tests:- All standing starts from same position - Very low wind day- Wind direction and gusts noted in spreadsheet- Tyres and tubes the same- Same level of water in water bottle (I sip out of one in my car!)- Same body position- Same power meter (for this run it was my Wahoo powerlink pedals)Speed test data here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DFmRGKqX-JR4Gf26g0dmdAJhCgoXwoxiSJez9zTyngA/edit?usp=sharing#Carbon #wheels #cycling
