I had a different experience this year, for the last couple of years I loaded the course and enjoyed climb pro. This time around I totally forgot to load the course, but I felt like I suffered less on the hills and I would say my fitness if +- the same. Maybe the placebo effect of not knowing how much of the climb you have left helped🤣 I enjoyed the day overall, besides the heat. The price, I think is very fair (you would pay nearly the same for Emperors, Monte, and groot trap and they are not full closure races), the whole of JHB is closed for my enjoyment, and getting into the venue and parking I found pleasant. Just the heat killed this year, I started in batch Q and it was already hot, I cannot image the later batches...maybe coordinating the race a month earlier would help. The route is great, a nice challenge on the 2nd half. If it was easy there would be no point to it. But yes, the passing

I also reported the poor stream quality and I received this response I had a nice giggle at it followed up with a touch of rage. As you can imagine my reply was very sarcastic and passive-aggressive hahahaha

Some screenshots😀

apparently workouts are there already and comparable to Zwift. Pricing-wise, I don't think you'll get much of a saving, but competition is always good. I'll take a few screenshots and share

Per my reading, they currently have a number of BOTS, but they have some sort of AI and a CP number that enables the BOT to act on its own accord depending on the CP given. Sounds cool

No worries! They also do dual recording from the word go, There's also wind. Would be good to see how much traction they get and how other players (Zwift, RGT) respond to the new competitor

Hi Hub, Has anyone tried IndieVelo? Installed yesterday to check the graphics. Been reading some comments and some people are loving racing there... Will do a ride this week and share my thoughts https://indievelo.com/

Thanks! 🤣 Only if style could pedal for me...

Been using my 6x pro for the last 3 years and I'm happy with it. It's a daily watch with all the cycling elements I need: -climb pro -screen is not the biggest but gets the job down -i can fit enough data -legible in all conditions -great battery life

Have a look at the attached thread. i agree with the direct mount comment

Ant+? Can you connect to power meters, etc.?

Many have shared their views, for me why i swapped my snap to a core: chows your tires you get black tire stuff all over the floor as there is friction between the wheel and the roller noisy constant calibration And now that i have gone direct drive, I don't think i could go back to a wheel on. The wheel on's resistance feels forced and too clamping with no "real" flywheel inertia and momentum. Gradients feel more natural and progressive on the direct drive. ERG mode its worlds apart. Its chalk and cheese. its like in PC, you can use a 60hz screen for years and it does the job, you dont know better, but once you have/use a 144hz screen you cant go back to a 60hz and you see all the flaws you never realized that were there.

That's why find a good 2nd hand deal is important, if you get bored of the experience you can always sell it and absorb a minimal lose. I usually race every tuesday and thursday night, and do outdoors in the weekend. With the current weather, I am fully indoor (3 or 4 rides a week) and enjoying it. Very convenient. I also lie to myself and do 1 sided maths, but im "saving" gym fees amounting to +-r3000 a year and i am investing in my health and a sport i like, so for me its a win.
