I raced the Scottish national 25mtt in 96/97 (can’t remember now which) When I finished riding I realised that I was locked out of my club mates car that we’d traveled to the race in. Graeme Obree saw me shivering as he was warming up and let me sit in his car, he even left me with the keys while he went on to ride. What a guy! His heart and generosity are as amazing as his cycling achievements. Legend

I was prescribed Tramadol after surgery once. I've got no idea how anyone could ride a bike while taking it, I could barely put the kettle on.

Same here... with Tramadol I've just been a nauseous mop for 3 days... until I stopped to take it, I largely preferred the pain for 3 more weeks but being able to think and act.

I use Graeme's hour record breathing technique in running. When I get close to the aerobic breaking point, I will do his breathing technique and get into control again. Very noticable running in a group on the track, getting shuffled to the back, about to break and drop into a jog, and then recover. GENIUS that man. Met him only once when he was selling wacky carbon handlebars of his own design. LEGEND.

Graeme Obree is hugely underated. There are a few youtube films and interviews that are so inspirational.

Regarding power meters, in extreme hot weather such as here in Houston the heart rate monitor is a lot more important. That 230 watts that is just cruising along at 15 degrees can really get you in trouble at 40 degrees.

A lovely guy, but my what a superb athlete.....his personal story is a little sad, but overwhelmingly a positive one.

Groupsets should absolutely be getting better for the same price, I don't agree that you have to get a tiagra for the price of an old 105. You should be able to get the improvements of technology for the same inflation adjusted price. But bc shimano and sram both increase there's no pressure to keep prices down

I totally second your point. Nothing (other than wanting more $€) explains the bump in prices.

Personally, the one thing that fixes burnout without fail is total separation from that thing. One of my main hobbies is scale modelling, which can often take a lot of time and effort to produce only a small thing. Burnout is quite common. However when I feel that complete lack of interest and motivation creep in I just stop, and every time within a couple of weeks I'm itching to get back to it. I think of it like food. We all like food, and nice food especially! And we all need it too. But even if you have the nicest breakfast possible when you wake up, you will reach a point where you don't want to eat any more. Then you'll go a few hours without food, and not even the thought of it. But then sure enough you start getting hungry again and it's time for lunch. Hobbies seem to work basically the exact same way, and the best solution to having 'eaten too much' is simply to wait and you'll be hungry again soon. --- Regarding the power meters thing, I think they're actually very good. Before I had one I took things a lot less seriously, in a bad way. Cycling was purely entertainment, and I wouldn't push myself much if at all. I feel like I have a very good handle on perceived effort being a cyclist all my life, however it was very difficult for me to plan routes and try new things without any data. The power meter has given me hard numbers to use. I know what sort of thing I *can* climb, even if I really don't want to. I know how hard I can push myself and when (if at all) I'll 'hit the wall' as runners would say. Before it was total guesswork, which meant planning new routes much more difficult. They're not necessary at all, and often too expensive for what they are really, but having a power meter has led to me making consistent improvement - getting fitter and faster with every ride - because I can track myself over time. Before hand the best I had was ride time and memory to try and estimate what sort of training results I was achieving, and if I was improving. And if I used different routes I'd have no idea how they all related to one another in terms of that.

I've been watching women's racing the last 2 years. I find it as entertaining as men's, and not only the big tours. They deserve more backing. Totally underrated.

Totally agree on van Vleuten. Saw her in training near Livigno last month.. She was riding her golden Canyon TT bike over a mountain pass, an absolute beast.

The way to avoid "cycling burnout" is to see cycling as a great transportation method that has a sporting aspect. Something like motoring. Most people don't race cars, but for those who do, life will eventually get in the way. If you drive a Ferrari in daily traffic, you'll be frustrated most of your life. Same thing goes for spending too much time on a Pinarello F.

Spot on about Tiagra (and lower spec groups from Shimano). I ride a 2021 Tarmac SL6 with Tiagra R4720 and Roval C38 wheels. Apart from less gears than 105, it is brilliant. Problem is that most cycling snobs need 105 or higher. Edit: my gravelbike is a Cube Nuroad with Claris 2x (50/34 - 11/32) and it rips! Great performance for the money. If I crash it doesn’t break the bank.

Thats quite literally it. People who are hung up on the name. The whinging when 105 di2 came out was astonishing. Shimano have, for years improved their top end groupsets and what used to be cutting edge makes it down to the lower end groupsets. I would wager that Tiagra will go 11 speed in the next few years and basically become the same as 11 speed 105.

How long did you take it for? End of last year I was on Tramadol for a month but stopped because it started to mess with my blood pressure and didn’t do that much for pain relief anyway. Since end of June my doctor put me back on Tilidine to reduce the amount of Ibuprofen and Metamizole I’m on but the pain relief is again only ok so I wonder if I’ll struggle to stop them at some point.

100% watch the "Flying Scotsman". Superb film :)

Have it right regarding Obree he was an amateur, who built his own bike, who would train on an old school bike trainer training to an old school clock. Training to exhaustion for an hour. His tuck position came before before his superman position. And the bearing from the washing machine was with respect to the q factor. Having a narrower bb meaned he needed some bearings. Which just so happened was from his washing machine. All the above meant the mosers hour record being broken (who under Ferrari was doped.)

Cycling is unique in that racing is considered the ultimate goal and committed to riding. You never see people playing pickup games of street hockey or basketball expecting to be competitive or tracking their performance data

Cycling to work the other day, I came off, dislocated my shoulder, popped it back in and still beat my PB. 2 weeks later, and my shoulder's still too loose to lift things 😬 I can 100% believe that professional athletes can do some crazy things when they're competing properly 😅

You do read the comments!....you did my suggestion for overrated/ underrated. Anyhow, your ramblings have replaced a hole in my life since the speed metal cycling podcast stopped. Love it. Cheers guys. (While I am here, loved the cycling in Britain series too...carry on with the inspiration!)

Speaking of burnout - usually it happens when a thing you do is much more than just that thing. For example, when people cycle not just (or mostly) for the sheer joy and fun of it, but it becomes a way to prove themselves. At some point I think it consumes a person and sucks all the joy out of the process. So I always remember to do silly, easy rides just for fun to remind myself that being on bike not always means breaking distance records and suffering doing intervals.

Really enjoyed this episode , great shout out for Graeme obree , watched a fair bit of content recently about him , underrated

Tramadol is only banned by the UCI at the moment, it's not on the WADA banned list until next year, so different penalties apply compared with WADA doping offenses. I read the tramadol blood testing is relatively expensive, and often only done if there is "intelligence" to trigger a close look.

46:40 I believe the superman position was actually after the 'arms tucked', but enjoyed the show - cheers!

Cycling Burnout is a thing I got from cycling 👀 to the office and back everyday, dealing with horrible cycling infrastructure and ridiculously privileged and aggressive car drivers. At the end of the week I couldn’t get back onto the saddle for my weekend gravel rides. Mentally exhausted from and not able to recharge with cycling is a problem. Still trying to figure it all out.

I am convinced that doping has just gotten better at not being detected rather than going away. Watching Icarus has forever made me automatically translate “super-human performance” to “doping”. Massive money and super competitive atmosphere just are recipes for anyone and everyone involved to do bend or break every rule they can to stay in it.

One thing I have to say, since I know you guys spent a whole lot of time with audio. It sounds really really good, both the sound quality and the isolation from noise outside :), don't think I've heard anything from the outside or humming from vents and stuff.

When I first upgraded some parts to 105 - back in the 90s, it was a big investment. Looks like it is back to being a big decision. I'm actually perfectly happy with Tiagra, although I've paired some with old 10 speed 105 cranksets, which are cheap enough, weigh less, and look better.

well done mates. Seattle is or almost in a "rainforest zone". Have you had/tied 'Spam'? More Zelda!

His troubles aren’t over. AG2R Citroën is a member of MPCC which has specific rules against Tramadol so we have to wait and see what they do. In fact they could have requested the Tramadol test.

Tramadol is really strong! Had it after collar bone surgery. Only for a week but is really addictive. And felt all jittery and weird when stopping it and that's only after a few days. Imagine being on it for months or years? Horrible stuff.

Regarding Tramadol, back in 2013-2014 Michael Barry was dismissed from Team Sky after talking about Tramadol use. There was also talk of "finish" bottles at the time. These were combos of Tramadol and Caffeine, supposedly handed out to riders in the final hour of races.

I'm not appreciative of Shimano's sub-105 groups at all. It's simply a cost saving measure. Rebranded/Redesigned, slightly downgraded 105 stuff from the past. You find them on bikes in the price range you'd get with 105/Ultegra 10 years ago. For the price of a 105 Di2 you could get a Dura Ace mechanical 10 years ago, Apex is the price of Force 10 years ago.

I spent $450 for the groupset, my bike rides great and it saved me $1,000. Comparing things from 10 years ago? Sora is just as good if not better than 105 from 10 years ago. I have 105 on my bike from 1987, which at the time was top of the line. Sora is way better than that system.

Need some advice I just bought a Cannondale synapse carbon 4 cashmere. Rode it for the first time. I don't seem to be changing gears properly. Doesn't seem like a $2600 bike should be making the sounds. Thinking about returning it. Let me know what u think I should do

Tyler Hamilton, The Secret Race is a fantastic book, explains this better than I'm about to. In his era The governing body at the time said that your hemoglobin levels could be up to a certain level say 50 parts per whatever, and you'll be fine, go over this, and you're going to be classed as doping. So everyone who was doping, doped up to that level. Sounds fair right? Well no, because not everyone's level was the same, so if your natural level was say 48, you were done for, you couldn't take the risk. However, if you were lucky enough to be in the late 30s or lower 40s you could dope and get a much larger performance gain, like Lance, you were quids in. And thus having a free for all dope inclusive Tour De Crack Heads wouldn't be fair, as we're not all created equal.

Toradol would also be an interesting drug to discuss. As far as I know, it’s legal (it’s used all the time in the NFL). It’s an NSAID like ibuprofen that you can inject. And fun fact: 30 mg of IV toradol (ketorolac) was found to be as effective as 12 mg of morphine in a study (without the addictive effects as far as we know). It’s used all the time to treat pain after surgery, and it’s very effective. Ask anyone who has had surgery or passed a kidney stone. It can totally ruin your kidneys or stomach if you have kidney issues or stomach ulcers. But if it’s legal, I’m sure some athletes would be willing to take the risk.

I had tramadol when I ripped my knee out and needed it to get through the physio..I had it with paracetamol to increase the pain threshold…it was 2012 when the Olympics was on..I was laid up,watched the whole games and then had to buy the dvd cause I couldn’t remember any of it…😮…at the time I thought I was fine.Must have been off my nut 😳

Annemiek started cycling in 2006 after playing footbal. And enjoyed studentlife a lot. So that is a part of why she peeks late. There is a video of her following the men of mitchelton scott. What it takes, one of the boys. She woke up crying put on some make up and a smile. And got on the bike with the men. And she was born in the town called Vleuten.

You have peaks and valleys but i knew when marriage and kids came calling that i'd have to trim times spent on my 3 hobbies down to 1. So Drag Racing and RC Racing had to be put aside. The bikes could keep me healthier anyway. Maybe 1 day with my boys we'll try RC and perhaps later build a race car. But even with going back to get my Masters this fall, I don't ever see a time i totally get rid of the bikes. -U10

For winter training, why not a basic mountainbike? 29" with 2.35" Schwalbe Big Apple style tyres. Predictable in the wet, roll fine. Comfortable, which helps because in winter you're more static on the bike. My training bike is a 29" MTB with ridig for and for bars a flipped trekking bar. Slight drop to it that way. Mighty fast, for a mountainbike. I have a single narrow-wide 36t up front but think I'll make that a 42. For a cassette I'm thing of an 11t for extreme tailwind (no downhills here unless it's a tunnel/bridge) and then the gap to 13t, 14-15-17... Adding the 12t in between 11 and 13 would cross up the chain more than idea, I am thinking? 135 mm hubs all the way for me still.

Lactate tests would need to be repeated to see development of the power-lactate curve. I used to have a crazy spike 15-20 bpm below threshold, I'd be dying in the seat. When I'd speed up (in heartrate), the pain would flow away. I trained to get rid of that, it killed me on longer MTB races, as I'd dip into that zone.

A question in earnest to whoever may have a theory. Pogacar beat the field in the TT in the recent Tour de France, except one guy. Vingegaard not only eviscerated the field but crushed Pogacar by 1:30. Yes of course, some of this was due to Vingegaard's surgical technique, but the rest was just w/kg. Some believe Pogacar is the best cyclist overall on the planet. My question is...if doping is scutinized and samples given before and after stages...and it is very difficult to explain Vinnegaard's advantage in 3 of the stages of the great race that separated him to a comfortable winning margin, how is it provable that Jonas was not transfusing his blood after grueling stages? Fresh blood = better performance. This maybe unprovable either way. Lance did it of course. But his blood was also laced with performance enhancing substances. But, how about remove the substances that can be detected by modern blood tests and just provide a fresh blood supply after each grueling stage after the blood is degraded with lactate and toxins? How is this provable either way?...or can it be proved or disproven? On the subject of doping, I just don't believe Vingegaard was that dominant over someone believed to be the best cyclist in the last 10 years 'all natural'. Only my opinion. Curious what you guys think?

I've also been where Obree came from and its literally a council estate, should be a millionaire - very talented guy!

I would say the better comparison of doping in an American sport is MLB. There was the huge controversy like in cycling and people seem to actually care about doping in baseball.

After being run over a few years back i was given plenty of tramadol and ketamine (damn the k hole is deep) among many other pain meds. I wonder if i had the drugs beforehand would i have beat the car through the roundabout and avoided the crash.. Some questions go unanswered.

Speaking about consumer demand with regards to group sets, as a computer/tech nerd, you want to always be moving forward and not backward; so when the demand for bikes spiked during COVID, you have a plethora of newbie riders taking up “higher end” group sets, and anything lower just doesn’t feel right. Putting it into perspective, let’s talk about Jimmy’s fear of going electronic group sets and how he didn’t want to do it because he knows it’s JUST THAT GOOD, and he wouldn’t want anything lesser afterward. The obvious remedy to that would be to get a cheaper alternative like LTWOO eRX. Too bad they don’t make a mechanical brake option for a more accessible alternative (to be used on rim brakes or mechanical disc brakes).

Graeme Obree, so underrated. Apart from anything else just look at Obree riding his road bike in Battle Mountain. He's just riding old style Sora but... he'd got narrow bars and he's angled his brake hoods inwards for a more aero position. Exactly what all the pros are doing now that the "puppy paws" position has been outlawed. Graeme is a genius.

as a winter cyclist (In canada) the bike gear almost isn't as important as your clothing is. However I had a few changes I had to make to my bike. Larger pedals that can handle boots and studded tires for the snow and ice. that's about all I changed on my bike. Clothing though, god damn I had to buy so much new gear that could handle the temps. Goggles were the best purchase by far. Oh and more bike lights, when the sun goes down at 4:30PM I needed much better lights.

Shimano profits have been hit because they had to ramp up production due to 18 months of shortages.

Dustin Klein shoutout. Cool! He deserves more subscribers

With regards to Shimano & Sram. Sales are probably only going to get worse as cheaper chinese groupsets get better and become more accessible with time. We've already seen it happening with some bike frame and wheel manufacturers such as Winspace (although Ive been told their prices have jumped in the last few years. Apparently they are planning to open up a brick and mortar store in the US somewhere and when that happens. Prices will go up even further to cover all the overhead costs involved.) mainstream stores will still sell Shimano/Sram equipped bikes so its not like either brand are going to die any time soon. But sales will definitely be lost.

How often do you hear of sportsmen/women having a pain killing injection to take part, and nobody really bats an eyelid as they're not bothered....it's part of the sport. Meanwhile cycling ties itself up in knots trying to be ultra clean (obviously with good reason). I had Sora on a Domane AL winter bike a few years ago; it was perfectly fine, so much so I've just bought an 'old' Allez Sport with Sora as a winter bike.

One of the big things to bear in mind with AVV's career as well is that her strengths have suited the way that modern women's cycling races have evolved. Earlier in her career, there weren't as many longer multi-day stage races - and certainly weren't many that included bigger climbs. Case in point, she didn't win the first three editions of La Course because they were just a shortened version of the Champs Elysee stage of the TdF - but when they changed it for a mountain stage she won the next two. It's not just her palmares either - she had a horror crash at the 2016 Olympics yet was back on her bike within two weeks, and won races a month later. Tough as nails.

This show is significantly better than the Nero one.

Regarding adrenaline and injuries: I once decided to subscribe to a half marathon event at the very last moment, thus paying quite a high fee for it. Then, one kilometre into the course, I managed to roll over and sprain my left ankle. I thought that I had paid so much money for this bloody race that I can't just give up now, not for for this, and besides I likely wouldn't be able to run again for weeks anyway after I stop, so I'd better to just keep going. So I did, running the remaining 20k with that sprained ankle. Didn't quite make a PB, but did run my second best time, which still stands. After finishing the race my sprained ankle was super-swollen and started to hurt so very badly! I then had to use forearm crutches for the next three days because the pain was so bad, and it took months before I was able to ditch all ankle support and run normally again. (And yes, luckily, riding was always OK and even prescribed by the doctors!)

Damn right they are too expensive. I've downgraded to tiagra on my trainer bike and my tt bike is a mish-mash of 11s (still a 10s crank and rd since its friction shift). Sold my roadie with ult 11s di2. If i make my trainer bike a cheap crit bike for next yr, it will stay on 4700 group. -U10

Those chambers you're talking about are sensory deprivation chambers, and if you're not prepared for it, it can drive one crazy. Not something you want to put somebody in you're trying to distress..

I've used this drug for pain (injury, thigh tear and a calf tear) just twice in marathons. What happens is that it numbs the pain to the point that you blow due to not having a fatigue pain marker, so you run too fast, both times blew at around 22 miles, and you can't run through it, complete bang! Both times, I ran slower than should've, first as a novice (NY) and the second as a more experienced runner (1st of three Dubai marathons). From then on, when injured, I either did not run or just put up with the pain, so that I could regulate my pace from the pain of fatigue, which was always lovely...... Not.

Another scientific point I guess, which explain the restrictions on doping is the difference in body reaction and performance augmentation : depending on the individual, nobody's equal with taking the same products which would be even more unfair

Personally I refuse to buy any new Shimano groupsets because they're all electronic and they cost a fortune. Stopped considering SRAM last year for the same reason. Look up prices for Ultegra 8000 mechanical when it came out, even figured for inflation it's half of the RRP on Ultegra Di2 today. No thanks.

Peanut head seems funny 😅

28:27 💯 I ride tiagra and it’s brilliant

If you managed to fracture something in the middle of a stage race you would get a TUE from the team doc for some quality painkillers.

Jimmy reminds me of the guy from Elephant Princess

Hi Guys, entertaining Podcast/KZread. Love your stance on not always needing latest and greatest but the things that will do a perfect job for normal riders (Tiagra and 105). But as for the amount of experience/knowledge you have sometimes I find your advice to listener questions a little bit too superficial. Eg. winterbike there is a lot to say about it using different lubes for chain, bearings, different tires, swap wheelsets etc.. Would be great if you could spend a little bit more time on that so that listeners/viewers can really improve their riding experience upon your expert advice. Cheers

Tramadol is banned by uci but not banned by wada. I guess that's why he can race

My dog was prescribed tramadol.
