  3. Sticky Thread Sticky: The OFFICIAL Clydesdale/Athena Triathlon Thread

    Hey all! I spoke with Tom today, and he gave me permission to give this a go. Of my posts on this forum, none seem to elicit more attention than the triathlon/triathlete posts. So, we're going to do a sticky thread in the forum, and if it takes off, we'll get a little sub-forum of our own! ...

  5. Sticky Thread Sticky: Why Call us Clydesdales and Athena's?

    Why a Clydesdale? The term actually comes from the Triathlon World, for a male athlete over 200 pounds and/or over 6 feet tall. This was never a derogatory term, though. The Clydesdale is a massive and powerful charger, bred for battle originally; not hauling around a beer wagon, to carry an...

    I've been poking around here for the last several weeks, and have seen many posts of people who ID themselves as Clyde Emeritus Status. Has anyone ever thought about posting a sticky for the Hall of Fame for anyone reaching Emeritus Status.

    Since so many of our needs are specialized in nature, it makes sense for us to have a specific "For Trade" thread. Do not post For Sale in this thread, or it will be deleted and if it happens too often, the thread will go away. All trade details are to be done in PM. Post what you have available...

  2. Studded Tires...

    ...are heavy, loud, and feel strange. They also make the ride home a lot more challenging. I wish I had a power meter on my mountain bike. I would love to know just how much more effort it takes to go the same distance. But, I am hoping they keep me upright all this season. I had the bike...

  4. Opinions about perceived fitness and data fitness related to ride frequency...

    So recently has been weird riding schedule for me due to the Horrible hundred. I have been doing a lot of bridge attacks due to it being flatter than flat here in Jacksonville. So a bridge attack for me is about 8-10 laps (16-20 climbs) on the bridges. I did that 3 times last week and did a...

  5. The Saga of a 378LB Clyde, Knee Surgery, and More!

    My name is Peter and it’s been 30 years since I have ridden a Bicycle. Most would say that I started this journey the 19th of September 2009 at the weight of 378lbs when I created my first post on the “Clydesdales/Athenas” section of the BikeForums. Allow me to back up a bit? I had the first...

    I'm sorry if this has been discussed but I could not find it. I've recently switched my eating habits. Now during the day, I have a Slim Fast shake for breakfast and lunch and some fruit in between for a snack. For dinner, I just have a regular meal (try to eat less!). But now I'm noticing that my...

    OK, so we've got this situation, where if you're a size XL, you're in luck. To make a long story short, we made too many size XL in some key styles this year, and we need to sell them at 50% off so the inventory gets back into alignment with the rest of the sizes. We've got short sleeve Merino...

  11. Poll: How much weight do you want to lose?

    What is your weight loss goal? Mine is to lose 25#. Since I havent been at my target weight in almost 20 years, I suspect I have a good challenge ahead of me. Even if you have already hit your target, feel free to chime in on how much weight you lost from your start.

    The story is simple. I have a TREK 4300 bike. I am about to trade it up. I feel it is not a great bike for my size (320lbs). I have multiple options. One of them is to get a better hardtail like the Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. For the same money I can get a specialized FSR XC full...

  15. Mega-Clyde on a Folder?

    I'm interested in getting a folding bike to leave in my truck so i'll always have something handy when the mood hits me to ride. I'm mostly interested in the Novarra Fly-By. At 340 lbs, will I destroy one of these things? Thanks in advance!

    OK, I have a 2009 Jamis Aurora. I have been having a lot of trouble with the indexing and general feel of operating the front derailleur. It is a Tiagra brifter, and a Tiagra FD. This has brought back into my mind a pet peeve that I have always had. I have always preferred friction shifting on the...
