Not sure if you get boost in a road hub - OP noted that he got a "road rim" with the trainer. It might be a through-axle and the hole in the hub is "too wide" where the QR goes through.
Perhaps the OP can share some pictures of what he has.
Got this message on some of my groups yesterday - some of you will know Eugene of Cycle-Inn in Burgundy Estate. He was mugged and his bike taken yesterday next to Big Barrel pub on the way to Durbanville Hills. The area seems to have quickly become a hotspot over weekends ????
His report of the incident:
"So after a crazy day,i want to share my incident
Hopefully that some might bennefit frm it
So i was traveling up tygervalley rd past richwood
A friend was cycling with me
as we passd the big barrel pub
I noticed two black guys in yellow lane walking towards us
I then askd my friend to come to the right side of me and that we should ride mre in the rd
at abt 150 mm then went frm yellow lane into rd
just as we adjusted our potition they start running
I shouted at my friend to make a u turn
Unfornately she collided with me
we both fell
In the result she broke her pelvis
The one grabbed her bike and fled
the other man came for me and tried to stab me multiple times
the rd was wet
It was hard for me to get up as my feet kept slipping as my carbon shoes kept loosing grip
this man was out to harm me
I manage to get up
and which point he then took my bike and fled
my friend was screaming of the mental and physical trauma
I count my blessings to be alive
people i believe that my vigelance and awareness helped me today
Be safe out there.
I dont wish this on any one"
A buddy of mine was mugged and his bike stolen yesterday morning just before 6am on the way to our meetup point. It happened on Giel Basson Dr on the new extension piece behind Burgundy Estate. Perp was walking in the road and pushed him off his bike when he came past. He fought back, but the guy pulled a knife so he let it go. Suspect the bike was in that Du Noon cesspool 10mins later.
Be careful and alert out there and give guys walking in the road a wide berth if possible.

I might be wrong, but it appears Makro sells the same set for R129 https://www.makro.co.za/hardware-auto/hand-tools/loose-tools/screwdrivers-and-sets/bosch-27-piece-screwdriver-bit-set-/p/000000000000230207_EA
Finished a long-ish term project to get my new wheelset built up and ready. Lyne AMP30 rims with Hope PRO4 hubs laced with Rapide spokes. And now the rain has started...
Correct, the new route is like the Tour de PPA - from the racecourse down Tiekedraai, over Contermanskloof and then up Vissershok back to Durbanville and then out from there. It should make things interesting
The 40km route was also different. About 3km and 150m elevation less and skipped the section through the amphitheater that we had last year. Was still lots of fun

What happened to the buffs like we got last year? I was looking forward to getting a 100miler one to go with my 50miler one. Overall a very nice ride, the headwind and rain in the 2nd half made things a bit more interesting, missed my sub-8 by 5mins. Will have to go do it again next year
This was my 50miler ride last year: https://www.strava.com/activities/1581603027 It is just gravel travel, so no technical sections to speak of and no single track. Fun ride all around and the gees was quite lekker
We had a lekker day in the C-F group. It seemed that most of the group formed one large peloton which stayed together for most of the race. Finished 20mins behind the winner which in my books is a good ride. Mamba hill still stays a nasty surprise for that last 500m. Shout out to the Outriders guys from A-B that started with us and did some long pulls at the front. Saw the two ostriches out in the field with the victims of the crash on the side of the road, strongs to you guys, hope you heal up soon. Yesterday's MTB race was also a lot of fun, well worth making a weekend away and doing both events.
We did the 45km Wild Boar trail on Saturday. All I can say is wow! Wonderful trails, lots of climbing and what goes up must come down Will definitely go back again. The beer afterwards was well worth it Keep up the good work
