Show me a teenager listening to advice and Ill show you a puncture proof maxxis aspen. Sorry off topic.

The first post of this thread says you have a lauf fork for sale. Like mentioned, you might struggle to sell it. So be prepared to sit with it for a while.

Any links to videos made of the real epic experience? Sleeping in muddy tents and eating the “not woolies” food?

Still on topic, as it has the new sram group on it…

Who else spotted the 2024 s works at 4:44 in the video? Nice copy of the trek supercaliber🫣

Jeez, just when I bought axs and thought I have caught up with the latest tech. Thanks Sram. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Either stomach issues for Blevins or a proper traditional Bonk 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yip they lost over 8 minutes on GC

Light bikes ftw! Currently have an alu giant anthem with carbon hoops. Probably around 12 kg. Would love a lighter carbon dual suss… I am at the point where I am struggling to shed more weight of myself, so the bike is the next best option😁

So did a bit of analysis on my setup of both bikes. After some balance tests and taking a video on the trainer, i do believe my saddle was too high on both bikes and saddle too far forward. Dropped saddle a bit and moved it a bit backwards. Balance test felt a lot better and my toes were not pointing towards the ground as before. Going to test it tomorrow and will give feedback.

Thanks John, very interesting indeed! Here I was thinking going the opposite direction. But like dieselndust mentioned, my road bike is quite aggressively set up. And I feel more comfortable and efficient on the road bike (which I use on the indoor trainer as well). How big a factor is the plain fact that I just spend more time on the road bike? Just a disclaimer, this is purely based on feeling, as I do not have a power meter on the mtb. Only power figures is from the indoor trainer. But I have a good estimate in terms of power vs HR and I ride with HR all the time.

Thanks. I think the saddle to grip is definitely shorter on the mtb. (Compared to saddle to road bike hoods). Will see if I can get them closer. Where it feels alot different is when standing and pedalling. Feels like the mtb is too close. Will take some proper measurements. The difference only felt so noticeable yesterday, as I was riding only on the road bike since atta. Then yesterday back on the mtb and the setup just felt so much different. might be that I just need to harden up again, as the road bike made me soft😂

Hi Hubbers For those who are riding/racing om both road and mtb… Is it possible to perfectly match the position on both bikes? I feel that I am struggling to get the same performance from my mtb. On the road bike I feel comfortable, especially during hard efforts. On the mtb it just feels that my setup is too upright. Even with the stem slammed, hard efforts feel cramped. Just feels harder to get the same power put down. any tips? Professional bike setup on both? New mtb?😜

Maybe because Annemiek is still allowed to ride the epic?

Marc Pritzen doing well at Tour of Rwanda. Was in the maintains points jersey and was in the break today. Got caught at 10km to go.

Haha yip some weird tire/rim combos. My last set of tubed gp5000’s were a mission to get on/off the rims. I have now gone tubeless using Pirelli Pzero TLR and could not be happier.

I cannot see Christiaan j v R on the results anywhere. Was he supposed to ride with elites this year?

Brad was tired of fixing flats on those Aspens 🍿

Also impressed with DHL. I had an issue though where the label printed on the box was cut/misprinted. They tried for 4 days to deliver to number 1 instead of 11. Each time they rescheduled delivery as no one was home (did not phone me). Only by luck dit I pass the DHL van (parked at number 1) on my home from my training ride and discovered the address issue.

Pritzen SA champ?

What is going on with the vets live timing?

Sounds wild. You should write a book about it.

What would be the best way to repair this small cut in the tire? Superglue?

Picked up a piece of glass this evening. Small cut, enduroseal managed to seal it without losing noticeable pressure (sorry to the guys behind me who got sprayed a bit). Very happy with tubeless so far👍🏻
