Yeah really liking where that is headed
Car looks high AF to begin with
Looks awful as per
15kmh ain't nothing to sneeze at
Sauber pit stops especially were good! Remember they kept dropping bits last season? They had some super quick stops today. Love to see it
Seems pretty fair. The f2 race yesterday shows you what else could happen
I am prepared to treat p3 as p1 for the purposes of today. Stupidly swapped Ferrari out for Mercedes in my fantasy this week...
OK great, that sounds pretty good for your saddle height then! Easiest way to change your riding position from there is with your stem and handlebars, I wouldn't mess with the fork itself.
If you want to be more upright you can try a stem that's shorter and has some rise to it, to bring the bars higher and closer to you. There's all kinds of different handlebars that have rise to raise your riding position as well. Bike shop can advise on that if it's something you aren't comfortable doing yourself.
But to be honest 45° is a fine angle, so unless you're finding it really uncomfortable or it's hurting your hands or wrists, I'd say your bike fit is probably OK!
Another thing to review is your riding position and bike fit.
You'll notice people on road bikes will have their bodies very horizontal which allows them to put more power in to the pedal strokes. At the other end of the spectrum you have a kind of Dutch riding position where the body is straight up. This will be inherently slower just because it's more relaxed.
On an XC bike in the city you are probably somewhere in the middle of those positions, i would guess.
Then it is good to make sure you have your saddle at the right height so you are able to use all your leverage. If it is too low then you'll be pushing more with your knees and you'll need to spend more effort to move the bike. You want your leg to be almost but not fully straight when you have the pedal at its lowest position.
I agree with the other comment that if you're already doing those kinds of distances, if you keep riding then your "bike fitness" will come together quickly.
A good enough reason to ignore Brave tbqh
The UK government's response to the petition is an extremely long winded way of entirely missing the point surely? The main thing is offline games which should theoretically work indefinitely assuming the hardware and operating system is the same.
Although it does make me wish we could go back to self hosting fps servers, those were the days..
