Oof. Ya 34-34 is a lot harder than 42-51. You can get the Surly to 30-34 for ~$200 in new parts and 30-36 for ~$300 in parts. 30-36 would feel the same as 42-51. PM me if you want to parts list.
Thank you. This is actually encouraging. I’m pondering doing the fondo on my 1x9 again.Oof. Ya 34-34 is a lot harder than 42-51. You can get the Surly to 30-34 for ~$200 in new parts and 30-36 for ~$300 in parts. 30-36 would feel the same as 42-51. PM me if you want to parts list.
That Coleman climb is something. I agree everyone could use more gearing than 34-34. 20min at 10% grade, FUNNN
it’s got a 40-40 granny gear. 
40-40 is the same as 34-34. 40/40=1.0=34/34. Did you have a typo in there?Thank you. This is actually encouraging. I’m pondering doing the fondo on my 1x9 again.
I did hit a grade today that I could not make it up on the Vassago. So I turned around.
I’m going to DM you for that parts list and explore modifying the surly. I also got really curious what the Vassago would feel like with drop bars.
@tag3 is gonna kill me.

Rad. Thanks! If my fat ass can dare, hopefully your fitter ass will join us.
I posted an article on that a number of pages ago. It was focused on women and their ability to utilize fat as an endurance fuel, and they are way better than men at accessing fat for fuel. However once exercise gets above a certain threshold your body switches to carbs as it’s primary energy source because it’s able to access it much faster than metabolizing fat.A cool article on fat as primary fuel, I’ve been thinking it’s an endurance sport hack that is underrated

Can you train for a marathon on the carnivore diet? What happens to endurance performance on zero carbs, how long adaptation takes, and how to fuel long runs.carnivoreweekly.com
I read an article about super insane women ultra endurance runners and thought of you, or really, your wife. Like just insane distance.
Those are some strong claims in the adaptations section. I need a study.A cool article on fat as primary fuel, I’ve been thinking it’s an endurance sport hack that is underrated

I would love to read your experience with it, as I have generally always agreed with your take on things and methodology, as far back as brotogp days at least… wanna give it a go?
Yeah but Naked and Afraid and Alone aren't endurance events they are long term day to day activity events so their body fuel usage may vary.
I'm biased because I can't think of any successful pro cyclist that is employing this kind of strategy. I tend to try what others have proved to work, not vibes written on blogs. Do you really want me researching thisI would love to read your experience with it, as I have generally always agreed with your take on things and methodology, as far back as brotogp days at least… wanna give it a go?
Why do you think Naked&Afraid counts as a study? Was their calorie intake and expenditure measured or estimated? Were they weighed before and after? Did they wear fitness watches the whole time?
