  1. What will Jumbo/Jonas's plan be today, sit on Pogi's wheel or attack again?

    Regardless, its going to be another interesting day !!!

    Edit:  One things for sure Jumbo & UAE will not allow another top 10 contender to fly off in the distance again.

    Pogačar will (probably) be wiser to the one-two attack from TJV, meaning they will have to try something else, that “surprise factor”, while also being mindful that UAD doesn’t do anything themselves. Yates and Pogačar could be the ones doing a one-two on Jonas.

    I dont see Yates being able to do what Roglic did for Jonas last year, but yes that might be the attempted approach by UAE.  Cant wait to see what unfold !!!!

    Bring on '23 - the excitement is building!

    Watching that again, I cant wait !!!  Only this time Jonas will have to do a lot more on his own without Roglic there.  Sure WvA can help to land the knock out punch again, but the ground work will mostly be up to Jonas.

    all the odds are pointing towards two guys having a chance of winning this. Which is bizarre in a sport where the expected outcome can go out the window in an instant, but such is the chasm between then and the third guy.

    Ineos don't even have someone in the top10 of exepcted favourites. That is a big shift from where they've been before.

    Just over a year back we upgraded from a 32" TV to big mofo TV. It happened to be a smart TV running Android.

    Up until then I was using an old macbook as my media centre. I rather enjoy having one less device to maintain. Its not prefect, but its doing what I need it to do.

    My TV is also "Smart" but I just hate any Android so I avoid it like the plague .... 🤪

    I love these little TV boxes. Why buy a smart TV at all?

    I've had the Gen 1 for years, started giving a few issues, and spotted the Gen 2 for a giveaway price. 

     

    Agree with the "Smart TV" notion, but after I went through 2 different TV boxes I decided to put my TV on a full Windows PC.

    Nothing fancy, just an old i5 with a decent graphics card, works like a charm.

    Whose place would he take? After winning Giro, don't think PR would be in position to go for GC here, so superdom from the start?

    I'd be more concerned about how Kuss has recovered. Wilco and Laporte is the mountain squad? got oomen, special K, gesink and  dennis doing other stuff.

    I think Seppie will be just fine, he didn't "kill" himself for Primoz in the Giro at any stage.

    Not sure in whos place PR can go but I dont think there is anyone else in the squad that can tag team Pogacar like Primoz and Jonas did last year .... 🤷‍♂️.

    GXP is very flawed in its design.

    When Truvativ introduced it, the design was groundbreaking, and then Shimano responded with their Hollowtec, to this day trusted and proven.

    The GXP takes all the load bearing on the non drive side, which wears that bearing prematurely quick.That and the fact that the tolerances on that bearing is not great.

    The Token BB uses 24 mm ID bearings on both sides and then supply a beautifully machined adapter with very tight tolerances. The insert sits internally and spreads the load across both non and non drive side bearings more evenly.

     I suddenly and unwillingly find myself in the position of needing one of these .... 🤪🙈 

    Do you know where I can get one (22 to 24mm GXP adapter and other required spacers)?

    Edit:  I see multiple options abroad but cant find any advertised in SA ... 🤷‍♂️

    Hi there, I have lost the same adapter. Just checking if those measurements were taken - I'm also looking to have an adapter 3D printed.

    Yes, I gave it to @marcash via whatsapp.  Will repeat for you:

    The one for 142 (std) and 148 (boost) is the same, only the "base" is 6mm longer for the boost one

    A = OD 19mm (Std & Boost)

    B = 10mm (Std), 16mm (Boost)

    C = 15mm (Std & Boost)

    D = OD 16mm (Std & Boost)

    ID = 12mm (Std & Boost)

    Let me know if you need more info.
