Yes - they pretty much turn a bicycle into a tricycle.

Try here:

At this time of a Sunday night I can't explain the physics that keeps a bike upright and allows it to turn, BUT.... What I can tell you is that fairy wheels act as a lever lifting the back wheel off the ground when the bike leans over, so instead of the bike turns and rights itself, it just becomes unstable. Don't do it

Phones not working for past 2 weeks; Lady on the front desk ‘unsure’…! ( but honest thanks for suggestion!) Cheers Chris

Gritty stuff by the Maglia Rosa. The jersey seem to add an extra 0.5 watts/kg in the finalè. @veloncc

It’s about 20 mins from Riyadh towards Edge of the World, 2 hours east of there site. There’s a number of dirt tracks which all link together so can tailor make the ride longer or shorter. When it cools down later in the year we’ll be able to travel a bit further to explore more.

As a girl mom I can really, strongly, recommend against training wheels. They were the downfall of my daughter’s early riding and it took me ages to get her back on a bike (this time without training wheels).

maybe phone them or pop down during lunchtime this week to find out.

Where about in Riyadh are you riding. Is that toward "Edge of the World?"

Sunday B.U.M.P…..

More folders up on the race photo drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1x8Fe4sNq4YhlIrhGA72miN9EW91O8J3t?usp=sharing 🤙

Smashed another 58km on Friday and really kakked off on the hills this time round, recovery was quick but each climb felt brutal. I think it was down to hydration or might just have been a *** day. I use 3 x 24oz Podium Chill bottles and freeze them half way the night before to keep the water cold but despite the temperate averaging at 32 and peaking at 42 (we started at 5am) 500ml of water was still frozen when we finished whereas I normally finish my water with 2km to go. I snack during the ride and hydrate on water only, what do you ladies and gents fuel on? Another photo dump.

Damn - and I just finished upgrading my Zwift one and now there's going to be a new one??? If I buy this one will I be as fast /slow outdoors as I am indoors?

No he is not.

“I don’t have energy to train…” You need to train to get the energy.

I've been enjoying him, he's commentated on a few other races. Looked him up, it's Jacopo Guarnieri. I especially enjoy his direct translation of Italian sayings 😆

Rest day tomorrow and the individual time trial to follow. It’s hard to call whether the breakaway artists will have their day again as the GC rivals would likely want to make big moves, especially Red-Bull’ and Trek’ who need to get in touch. Jonas looking steady and stoic as usual and just achieved a cool milestone of having won a stage in each Grand Tour.

Looks like a cool app. Any chance you could add bars as an additional unit for tires?

Sure, I can squeeze this change into the next update. Thanks for the feedback.

Had a look at the app now, pretty cool and will try it out. One request, you have high and low speed compression, but only a single setting for rebound. Could you add high and low speed rebound? The Fox GRIPX2 fork damper has both.

Hi again, Android is finally in testing and a few weeks away from going live. If anyone is interested in being a tester. Please drop me a DM with your email so I can add you to a test group for the Play Store testing. The iOS version is also getting a few updates thanks to your feedback. Thanks!

Leaked pictures of the supposed sl9 on the web suggest a deeper fork to make the speed sniffer less prominent, and a canyon aeroad esque aero optimised rear end. Given how common supposed “leaks” are these days I presume it might be a marketing tactic. Whether that is the real bike I guess we’ll wait and see. Would be interesting if companies leaked false images and a full venge like aero bike surfaced.

Jip new bike coming, Remco testing for 69 days before TDF. Is it going to be a hyperbike, back to the Venga aero bike days?

And yet still overpriced... Grabs coat and runs 👀
