First TT coming up, paranoid about flats

I have a local time trial coming this weekend, and being my first one I'm pretty excited about it. However, one thing has been plaguing my mind for the past month or so: Getting a flat during the...

Lots of great answers, everyone. Thanks! 95% of the drivers around here are pretty respectful, so I take comfort in that.

Safety Concerns: Drivers under the influence

I been cycling for about a year now and loved every second of it (mostly). In that time, like most riders, I've had some pretty close calls with motorists. Curiously most of them involved a-hole...

All good points! I'm definitely overthinking it, I just want to make sure I make a good purchase. Of course, that is what returns are for right? I suppose I shouldn't say the roads suck around...

Tire choice is driving me insane!

Ok, so I know I made a similar thread about tire choice a while ago. But alas, I still haven't settled on anything. It seems that winter has finally ended, and for me it's time to get a new set. I'm...

Gezz, 220g. I never really put much thought into how much protein I eat. Probably no more than 100g, likely much less. Maybe I should try focusing a little more on that.

So much for a "balanced...

Thanks everyone for the replies! I'm going to try giving myself a break and take it easy for a day or two. I'm also going to change up my workouts and see if that helps.

Why am I getting weaker?

I got a stationary bike before winter and it's been great. I've been able to stay in shape, and for a while, I could feel myself getting stronger. However over the past month now, it seems like my...

Makes perfect sense. As a new road rider, I think I may be overthinking this. I guess I view road tires as being very fagile, and I don't want to risk getting something wrong when pumping them up. On...

Tire pressure gauges: Should you take one on your rides?

This seems like a completely obvious and dumb question, but it's not something I really hear much about in the world of cycling. In the event of a flat, I'd say that you would need some kind of...

Managed to figure out the clicking, so now it's the just plastic-y sounding jockey wheels and vibrating crank that are bothering me. But, from what I've read about new bikes, after a few miles those...

Yes... it is haha! No offense taken, I'm just completely inexperienced at this kind of work. The chain is actually clicking at the top of the smallest cog - not at the bottom, where I'm guessing a...

Loud drivetrain?

Most of the noise is coming from the cassette/rear derailleur area. The chain is visibly clicking on the lowest cog. I've adjusted everything; limit screws, barrel adjuster, b-screw, etc, so...

Any road tire suggestions for dirt roads?

I live out in the country and I have to ride over a few rocky dirt roads before I can get onto smooth pavement. I'm looking for a tire that can survive dirt roads without puncturing, but also have...

It almost seems like there isn't enough space for the full range of the cassette; the chain starts scraping when the cassette is in the two lower and two higher cogs, in both chainrings.
