Try putting in the battery upside down, that should reset the monitor. Mine stopped working and that did the trick, more than a year later still going strong

I made the mistake of reading the entire thread in one go. What do I do with all this adrenaline pumping and ready to go...but nowhere to go at my desk

Very true, they are as rare as hen's teeth. And if you find one through a Volvo dealer then they add their extra rarity price, but I guess business is business.

If it’s the wrong forum then please delete the post. I'm however looking for a Volvo XC70 AWD cause it's "practical" and can load whatever in the back. So if you know of anyone selling one please let me know.

Exactly, there was a time where you had to refresh the page waiting as soon as the entries open to get a spot. Now you have time to see how your December training block goes before entering

Reading through all of the posts I think I have realized that replacing the carbon MTB hardtail would be difficult. I get too much of kick out off feeling the immediate power transfer and negotiating the single tracks to find the smoothest line. My roadbike isn't worth much but the value I get out of it would be difficult to replace. Now speaking hypothetically and in a perfect world where I just have all the money one could want. I would replace my roadbike with a Scott Addict Gravel, light and responsive but can be used on the road or gravel. So guess for now I'm keeping my bike the way they are

Hi everyone That time of year when everyone has the need for a dramatic change, So this is my end of year "crises" I want to replace my 2011 Merida Scultura and 2014 Scott scale 930 with a single gravel bike. I enjoy the odd road race here and there with the yearly Argus to see if "This year is my sub 3 year". I enjoy riding in Jonkershoek but enjoy the climbing more than the coming down so would always opt for the fire roads down seeing that its still harsh on the Scale coming down Armageddon. Would I regret such a decision and would I still be able to push it in the odd road race if I put some skinny road tyres on the gravel bike? I guess its all in the legs, the real question is would I feel such a big difference between the road and gravel bike if I put on proper road tyres on the gravel bike, Like the GP5000 tyres. Has anyone tried racing with a gravel bike on the road with road tyres, and how was the experience?

I thought the patty guy looked familiar, I went back in my Facebook messenger to find I've contacted him 2 years ago about a watch. Something tingled my spidey senses back then and decided against it, what a relief 😅.

I’ve always wanted to convert my hardtail into a gravel bike now I can hopefully just get the GRX shifters paired with my SLX 12 speed setup and some new handlebars.

I have no frame of reference, but would the pros be completely rested for the XCO after the XCC? At that level of their fitness are they able to rest that quickly?

Anyone know where one can see the highlights?

What a feeling it must be for MVP going into the XCO next weekend knowing he has nothing to prove and already accomplished what he intended to, just letting his current win fuel him😎

@Barry and @RobertWhitehead thank you guys. Will send you some DMs😎.

Yes only the front wheel, is the hub uniform throughout, cause if it expands in the then it will be hell to take out the axle

Shot thank you everyone, I will do some calling around. Now the next challenge is finding a non boost front wheel with a 15mm hub. @RobertWhitehead do you have something laying around in a 29er?

Hi Everyone Our Q-Lock 15 axle disintegrated on a ride with our Avalanche Envi with the Epicon 29er fork. Do any of you know where I could get it from?

Anyone selling a similar bike?

The following should be gravelbike friendly, my wife and I once did it on our MTB tandem as well. You see a bit of everything and it really beautiful. Local hubbers are we still able to do the rout? I did it pre-Covid when the world ended. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/55279093

Was thinking the new spark as well. I'm a huge Scott fanboy but when the day comes for a soft tail then I'll 100% go for the previous gen Spark, just for the ease of mind when wanting to service the bike.

Lekker to see the you guy jumping like that, I'm more of a roller, even though a can hold my own down Armageddon I'm not one for jumps. One trip to the dentist after some chipped teeth healed me from the need to see daylight between my wheels and the horizon.

Haha ah makes sense, yes I'm on a HT and im rarely bothered by chain slap. I'll definitely take this into account when I upgrade to a dual sus.

This is going to be quite the controversial comment but I’ve been cycling with the clutch off for more than a year and have been very happy with the shifting. Only this past week when I replaced the outer and inner cable I decided to try the derailleur again with the clutch on, only to find when flipping the clutch lever there was no resistance, as if the lever was connected to nothing😅

Please post where you ended up getting a service kit, I suspect I’m in the same boat with mine.

Finally what a beaut. Now we just need the rest of the guys to show off their bikes😎

Bump, we want photos
