Plus I pushed it a little bit AND I think the morning headwind was really subtle. I was just thinking gaining 1.0 mph would be super optimistic on the bike swap Comparing these bikes: 2010 Specialized Sirrus Sport--100% stock I tend to avg ~15.5-16.0 mph on my commute moving avg [heh slow] 2011 Cannondale CAAD-10 5--Stock other than a leanback seatpost this morning I just avgd 17.0 [never gone above 16.4 or so on the Sirrus even with a nice tailwind] A forum historian may note I posted a white CAAD-10 earlier: that purchase fell though and I just got this one yesterday I was anticipating no more than a 0.5mph gain. Any idea? Or just let more data come in. This is the new one: Minor chain creaking once in a while depending on gear, needs some adjustment for sure otherwise no perceptible speed robbing issues I can detect. In some gears it's completely quiet This is the old one: The rear wheel/hub has seen better days also. Bit of a wobble I cant seem to true out. Doesnt rub the brakes, but it's noticeable. _________________________ Swim->Bike->Cry "I can see that nurses head bobbing around going "I AINT CANCELIN MUH PLANS, FUCK A CDC. WHO DEY ANYWAY NAH MEEN?

Cripes, I'm noticing that aero wheels are noticeably faster than standard wheels. CAAD10 is a decent race bike, so for sure, you'll be faster on it. BTW--the creaking might be your bottom bracket if it's a press-fit BB. They are notorious for getting creaky. The solution is to pull the bearings and reinstall them with Loctite on them (can't remember if it's red or blue Loctite) _________________________ ___________________________________ gamby still have an EM1--go figure

stickaz_old stickaz_old Post Master Supreme Registered: 02/04/01 Posts: 56459 Loc: Nor Cal, Hella hurr durr	velo viewer does it for you from strava data, hehe. should have 10 commutes to compare with by friday Update: 1st commute day: 16.9/17.1 mph moving avg [17.0 mph]--18.1 miles : 2nd commute day: 16.9 mph to-work [9.1 miles] seems to be hanging in there with the ~17.0 mph avg. I'm definitely pushing harder than normal, possible placebo effect in progress just checked and this mornings attempt at this 3.0m segment was 13s under my personal best [which includes quite a few tailwind efforts]. its not reflected in this list yet tho _________________________ Swim->Bike->Cry "I can see that nurses head bobbing around going "I AINT CANCELIN MUH PLANS, FUCK A CDC.

gamby gamby Post Master Supreme Registered: 11/01/99 Posts: 40865 Loc: RI	Originally Posted By: Silock I'm going to need an Excel spreadsheet to confirm. I have calendars over the past 2 years with the distance/time/avg speed of every ride I did. Never put it into a spreadsheet tho. Granted, as I built my base mileage, I got faster, too. One of my regular loops that I've ridden a fuckton served as a decent baseline for what equipment is faster. My backup bike is consistently 1 mph slower than my main bike. Road bike shit is the nerdiest shit on Earth. _________________________ ___________________________________ gamby still have an EM1--go figure
