Jeepers. Campy release their latest wheels yesterday and at the same time news leaks of their wireless EPS system and not a single sniff of it on Bikehub or that matter other social media sites Campy could do with a overhaul of their social media awareness

Ok so we have confirmed its not racetec, its CT? 🤔

Racetec are the worst. I remember the days when results were available within minutes of finishing

There is still a guard there. Whether he actually checks though… on a different note the Mugg and Bean at the total garage has seen some stuff anyone know of a better place to grab a post ride breakie?

Watching the ladies race. Kirsten Faulkner is wearing a glucose monitor (Supersapiens). I am 99% certain those are banned for use in racing?

So the South Gate is not open but open. I saw 2x cars parked there and spoke to the guard. It’s sounds like you could ride in that gate, pay at the north gate, then exit the South Gate. who wants to try?

thanks - makes sense

can anyone confirm if its still possible to ride from the circus to the the South gate and back? or is the South gate closed now?

yep. i've had no issue with Sram red chainrings - they last forever. i was at first worried about it, but now its such a non issue

i'm more than a little underwhelmed by this

My take: the ad was up, you had your chance to contact the seller and secure the deal. If you were to slow or um'd and ah'd, or its was outside your affordability then thats really not the dealers issue.

not sure if i'm blind but struggling to find any info on accuracy?

i have one. dropped one chain on the first ride and i have a few marks from it. really miffed at how easy shimano marks vs my sram/campy groupsets.

Ever been bike jacked? i have, 2 knifes. One held to the throat the others the small of my back. And no chance to do a single thing about it. It was the perfect trap. i got away because I chose to put my hands up and make myself no threat of any kind. i shudder to think what may have happened if they found I was armed

I have all 3 groupsets Sram Red 12s AXS the New Ultegra 12s di2 and Super Record EPS 12s while i like certain parts of certain groupsets. (the wireless Sram system and integrated powermeter, The hood design and buttons on Ultegra, the Braking power and gorgeous carbon crank of Campy) Equallly there are bad points on each. Srams massive hoods and silly brake fluid choice, Ultegras crank scratches far to easily leaving nasty silver underlay rather than a mute carbon of the others , campys finger destroying wiring system and old school thumb lever. all of them are excellent and no matter which one you ride it will not make a significant difference to your overall performance on the bike. they all do everything extremely well - its personal preference

Nope. this is 100% from the Monte Race. i think regardless of if OP contacted the organisers - this deserves to be in the spotlight just for how little care the organisers have. if anything its worth pointing the organisers over to these threads via twitter, facebook, instagram etc to ensure they actually do something about it

also look at Hunt. excellent wheels direct from Hunt. and their warranty is great and works fast if needed.

If only buying a bicycle was a rational decision my fat arse does not use logic the a bike buying process. it’s more fun that way

you are not alone in this - I to have been pedalling around recently with Endurance in my road bike. i did not have any original around and decided to top up with Endurance to ensure i at least had something in the tire - it happens

Also not the perfect sealant for high pressure tires(over 3 bar) rather use the road version (Original version) Endurance is better suited for MTB and Gravel applications. The Original is more suited for high pressure - but does not last as long as Endurance.

Bliksem. Sorry to hear about this. was it the original or enduro version? and how big was the cut? I had the same not long ago - had to use one of those really fat plugs to get home. no sealant on earth was going to help a glass gash that size. 100% and I think this might actually be the main reason Orange seal works. It’s fresh. Ordering the stuff is a total nightmare - they make it per order to ensure that we only have the freshest sealant to offer. Depending on demand and the season this order time period can take a very long while for an order to fulfil

Any chance they are black shoes? always found those to be hotter than a more reflective lighter colour

to true - everyone is lazy. and easy as changing the pedal body out - i'd see it as to much of a hassle and end up riding without it on the MTB. I have a MTB power crank and the only time i've ever really needed it was to keep myself within a limit i set for stage racing. and that on the flats and long uphills - just to make sure i do not overdo it and blow the following day. for the most part on any other ride - steep hill = all the power my legs can generate, the alternative being grinding to a halt.

You have all missed the point here. You now have a good reason to upgrade all bikes 🙃 Gold standard would be crank based on all bikes. but if pushed rather get power pedals. either Assioma or Garmin both are great. i currently have Garmin pedals and swap them across bikes all the time - takes 2 min as for the MTB, its less important there to be honest. but again Garmin pedals have the option to change the spindle to different pedals bodies. so you can have both MTB and Road using a single PM by just swapping out the pedal body. (i've never done this myself but it is possible) the catch being Garmin Pedals are not cheap - feel free to PM me and i will workout a price for you on garmin options.
