This question has a very short answer lol. You can push the pedal as hard as you want on an ebike, no matter the amount of the assistance, no matter the output of the motor (SL vs full power), no matter whether it's on boost or switched off. Your power output just adds to the motor power and you...
Thanks!
Yeah I've been riding mine for a bit now, the same Large Alu @150, and I certainly wouldn't want it any higher in the top position - in fact I could happily go a bit lower. But would love any more drop I could get at the bottom. So a 150 OneUp seems like the right choice for me, I...
Thanks for sharing this.
I would urge a revisit of the saturated fat, it's not the monster it was purported to be, and a lot of the misinformation about it these days comes from the vegan camp. Our very cell walls are made from saturated fat. That's not to say go nuts, but I don't look at it as...
Love that Welsh countryside. Everywhere I get to ride is forest, and I long for some open mountains/hills. NZ one day soon :)
This is a quick burn in eMtb mode for me...
So lots of support, it's full power if you push a decent amount (say >150w), which I tend to struggle to do less than. I want...
I was like this in my 20s :(
As I kid I was skinny as a rake and couldn't put anything on no matter what I did...
Oh how I'd love to have that metabolism again
Then, maybe, "just eat less" and "energy in, energy out" would be simple huh! :)
You know actually, I have bought this book: Home | Eat Smarter (eatsmarterbook.com) And not read it yet :)
It's got rave reviews, I've seen the guys youtube vids (why I bought the book) I think reading it's a good next step, diet-wise.
But this thread was meant to be about the glory that is...
Undoubtedly it is, if you include "appropriate calorie amount" in "healthy diet" - which makes perfect sense. The question is of course, finding whatever techniques (or food choices?) that allow one to stick to said healthy diet over the long term. And the best approach is going to vary on (at...
Haha, I think beer originally got me in this state. I suspect drinking copious amounts of beer, followed by the ensuing garbage food during hangovers, probably got me in this bad metabolic state. Beer causes horrendous blood sugar spiking and disables the livers ability to burn fat. And oh boy...
I'm wondering, how long has it been since you dropped 12kgs? And how old are you?
That said, I have a friend my age who can lose weight like you're talking about. A notable difference there I thought was he has a lot less visceral fat - a lot less fat inside the abdomen. His fat seemed to be...
Woooaah 1200 cals a day I'd go insane :) and it will sooner rather than later end in a binge and I'll eat it ALL right back... and then some
Ask me how I know :)
Your metabolism, not to mention hunger levels, must be waaaay different to mine...
I have come across a lot of different potato based diets recently. The idea being the starch is resistant to breaking down. I've been smashing a lot of baked potatoes, chicken schnitzel, baked beans (hey I've got a eMtb to pay for :)), the odd Burrito. I'm not really losing weight, I'm...
This video here sums up what I'm starting to try out on myself now:
(15) Joe Rogan - How To Workout Smarter - YouTube
I've heard and seen this ethos from a few different places recently, this one vid is the best. Training by just doing a lot, rather than actually training. Firas the guy talking...
Haha if only it was that easy. I have a metabolic problem I think, probably a genetic potential for diabetes. My mum is type 2 without having a particularly bad diet. I've done really well with losing weight when I've been keto. The challenge with it is boredom with the food. I'm deciding a the...
Resurrecting. My new bike came with Shimano 12 speed and shitty Sunrace cassette that doesn't shift well at all. I do have an XT 11 speed shifter and mech, so going 11 speed will cost me nothing, so I'm thinking I might. I'm looking at the Connex 11sx chain,
Wippermann 11 speed wear test...
I wanted to brain dump this. Partly for my own future reference, but also for people who are eMtb curious, or new riders, who might find this. I'm wondering how different the story is for others.
A bit of background first. I'm 45 years old, and I'm 95kg at 181cm. A really healthy weight for my...
Thanks Husky. Sorry - no not Bunya Mountains, Bunya in North Brisbane. Bunya forest is a great local, it's got some fun trails squashed into a small area around Jinker Track so it's easy to have a solid, compressed hour of fun close to home. It's my staple bit of exercise. Ironbark (Samford...
