You need much stiffer soles trainers are not goodD6Nutz wrote:Pretty good actually cheers. It's surprising the speed you can maintain when your not paying attention.
Good tip about the wind, probably doesn't make too much difference here as we live at the top of a hill and it's pretty much 400ft of incline whichever way you come in.
My only real issues where back ache after 20 or so miles and numb feet. I know the numb feet is down to footwear, I've tried two pairs of trainers so far.

Should have gone out tomorrow then... Ruby for tea tonight, that should make a decent tail windPerkles wrote:A tailwind home makes a massive difference hills or no hills
Cool, I've started looking out for proper cycling shoes, second hand is a bit hard to come by but I need to keep the spending down a bit.Perkles wrote:You need much stiffer soles trainers are not goodD6Nutz wrote:Pretty good actually cheers.

So I joined one of the Facebook groups and asked for general advice. Job 1 is to get the bike setup properly, someone gave me a really useful link to a youtube video that explains the setup really well.D6Nutz wrote:Cool, I've started looking out for proper cycling shoes, second hand is a bit hard to come by but I need to keep the spending down a bit.Perkles wrote:You need much stiffer soles trainers are not goodD6Nutz wrote:Pretty good actually cheers.

I've got those Shimano pedals and some cleats for my road bike. The shoes for the cleats i bought in Decathlon. I didn't believe cleats would make a difference, but they do! Just have a good long practice how to disengage and engage them - otherwise everytime you stop, you fall overD6Nutz wrote:

Second, I got some advice on shoes and it would be useful to see your thoughts Perkles. I've been recommended the following setup (or similar)

I'm going to try and buy used where I can to keep the costs down, but what do you think to this for a beginners setup ??
