I'd thinking about it and would run a 2.6 or 2.8 tyre
Yes I know someone that run on 27.5 front & back.
Look like my post got lost in there somewhere .... 🤪.
Anyone know what they mean by "summer" and hence, what date will they start to open the gate at 6:00?

Thanks Ben, do you know when "summer" start? 1 Nov maybe?

No, its not because of the poor event admin either, but I will be out of the country over the race period and therefore will not need them

I think they are still on 7am, was there a few weeks back. I might be wrong but I think they only change to 6am on 1 Nov.

in my very humble opinion on SRAM I would say the product/s in general is made pretty sub standard. I constantly need to fiddle with my brand new battery charger as well.
Both the batteries and charger are very pricey imho. Sure once fully charged, the batteries last long but not sure why its so pricey compared to other batteries & chargers .... 🤷♂️
I have an issue with my AXS battery charger. I have 2 batteries and its doing the same thing with both. The orange light comes on for a short while and then goes off, nothing else ... 😒
How/Where do I get it fixed? It should still be under warranty.
Edit: Never mind, it look like the USB port on my laptop cant supply enough current. Strange since that's where I charged it for a long time. Its charging fine now from a different power source.
Lets agree to disagree .... 🤪
For me this is the very last resort if I ran out of beans, shops closed and I only have pre-ground left.

Ever heard of a micro rest? ... me neither
That's why I didn't say he's OK but rather "not too terrible" .... 🤪🙈😂
Edit: I might get a lot of back-lash on this BUT, I liked Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen. Sure sometimes they also talked a lot of k@k, but at least I could listen to them without getting very irritated.

Not as far as I know. Its one way traffic from points to cash only.
What happen to "Andy Mcrossen" (I think) that was lead with her during the tour? Hes not too terible ! ... ?
Edit: Might be Anthony.

MTB bike is 2x10, with probably 11-34 cassette
Busted derailluer cage on a tired SRAM XX 10spd derailleur, and have a mint 2012 XO 9 speed RD in the parts bin,
the 9speed is a longer cage.
From what I can tell, both are EXACT ACTUATION ratio, so should in theory be compatible, (as i understand the cassette and the shifter obviously need to be the same speed, but the RD is more interchangeable -could be very wrong)
do I swap derailleurs and see if it works, or swap the cage rather?
actual part, let's call that plan C
https://evobikes.co.za/product/sram-x0-rd-10sp-cage-assy-long-red/
It should work, give it a shot.
Edit: First swap the DR's as is and see how it work.
Bottom line, there is an argument for both sides of this story.
I'm going to reserve judgement for after todays stage. All intensions/plans will be crystal clear after today ...

Its respecting your Team mate and supporting them, for years of support they've given you. Just a thought use it dont..
And, yes, Sepp deserved the respect multiple times, helping Primoz and helping Jonas securing their wins.

Will be difficult for him to beat Jonas on this stage, but lets wait and see. I'm still hoping Seppie can take the overall.
23 hours ago, Fleming said:Does anyone know the ins and outs on how these sensors work? Specifically the reed switch based units with a magnet on the crank and how their battery systems work?
The reason I ask is the company I work for builds automated machines and we have a need for a compact wireless sensor to monitor rotation. We couldnt find a industrial sensor small enough but being a cyclist I had the idea to use a cadence sensor. The battery life was a concern so we went and bought one and set up a test with a motor and the sensor and have had it running at 120rpm 24/7 for around 3 weeks now. We wrote a basic app on a PC to log the the signal and battery life. We are a little confused as the battery life the sensor reports seems to fluctuate a lot. It sometimes drops as low as 37% but then goes back to 100% later. Mostly it sits between 80% and 100%.
The sensor uses a standard CR2032 coin cell that isnt rechargeable. My theory is the sensor has a coil that generates a current each time the magnet passes and this charges a small internal battery. During use the sensor uses this battery and this is the battery level that is reported. The CR2023 battery is only there to power the sensor during sleep mode when not in use. Can anyone confirm this? The sensor we bought is a Giant 2 in one unit.
I'm using Polar cadence sensors for a long time now and they eventually do go flat. I dont think there is any charging benefit from the magnet passing the sensor, it would be very cool if it was the case though.
The batteries could then potentially last "for ever". Maybe someone with electronic background can shed some light on this for us.
