Does that website exist anymore, Analytical Cycling? Do I have the name wrong? For some reason I can't find it.

Anyway, how do you convince someone that a couple hundred grams off their wheels will not make them faster? Will not have them flying up the climbs? Are there easy to understand formulas/explanations posted somewhere online?!

It appears to be down the last couple of days, don't know if that is permanent.

There is also:
http://www.cyclingpowerlab.com/PowerModels.aspx

and
bestbikesplit.com

I might have to make my own!

Dunno, the who.is webpage lists it as inactive. Lists a domain I have registered as active, even though I have no hosting/nameservers for it yet.

It's been down at least a couple of weeks I think. I know I was trying to use it a while ago and couldn't find it.

Tom Compton ran the site (I believe it's Katie Compton's dad, interestingly enough).

You can find his contact info here: http://analyticcycling.blogspot.com/

Yes, Katie's dad - he once told me he used ice cream rewards to encourage her to go on bike rides as a child.

IIRC, the website originally arose as a way of illustrating the analytical tools of the company for which Tom worked. Perhaps he's retired now,, and/ir the webiste is otherwise not worth maintaining?

In any case, my hat's off to Tom for his contributions to the cycling community.

Tom said the website went down because it was hacked.
He hasn't decided if he is going to bring it back or not.
