THIS WILL NOT MAKE YOU FASTER

THIS WILL NOT MAKE YOU FASTER

ON THE LONG LIST OF THINGS that will not make you faster is one of my favorites.  I'm such a sucker for marketing that I fall for these things...

... all the time.

Here's the thing...

... they also might make you faster.

Looking back, I can only laugh at the silliness.

Bro, you really need a ti bolt kit.

Really?

Oh yeah, so much lighter.

The idea that something that saves about as much weight as...

... a well baked booger.

Is.

Ludicrous.

You'd never fall for that, right?

But, I do.

Here's why?

  1. If it makes me feel faster, I'm probably gonna ride faster.
  2. Marginal gains, is actually a thing.
  3. See #1.

I could have just said, The placebo effect.

However, it's the compounding of the effect in tandem with marginal gains...

... where things can multiply.

If I believe the...

  • bolt kit
  • toe straps
  • sock height

... and all the other incremental nonsense.

It's gonna work.

My potential hasn't really changed but my belief...

... will have me accessing every milligram of what I've got.
