you are not alone, have not entered any events, so motivation is all time low.

Typical Bikehub, a question about Quality of handlebars turned into a discussion (Science lesson) on Aerodynamics. 😎

I had this printed through this man, I am very impressed, this will make a unique gift for someone,

I have a set somewhere but not shin pads more like a knee pad - Dm me then we can arrange.

Will send you a DM

The conversion to 1x11 is super easy and not that expensive with Bikehub parts. It even looks like your current derailer have a clutch but not 100% clear. I had a Scott Genius, sold it and put some moola in the kitty to get a Trek Top Fuel 7, I can tell you, I miss the Scott (and the cash I laid out on the new bike)

He has some nice videao on Insta, his face looks super lean.

Here a thread about an insanely strong South African cyclist changes into a debate over KJ, Cal, conversion factors and such, got to love the BH scientists - My head hurts just thinking about this.

I got myself the Top fuel 7, I only upgraded the brakes to 4 piston Deore version, otherwise the XR4 tires it comes with is pretty aggressive for the riding I do, I changed to Recon Front and Icon Rear, very capable bike. I must add the old Scott Genius I had was almost a kilo lighter, but I enjoy the Trek.

I must be honest, I almost got caught in this weight thing, My current bike weight is 15.5kg(trek Top fuel 7 - with pedals and some spares in the frame) so off I went to cycle lab, saw Scott Spark for around R70k without pedals and bottle cages was like 13.8kg, add pedals around 350grams, pushes the bike into the 14kg, I could not justify spending R40-45k after trading my current bike in for just over a kilo of weight. I will just enjoy this bike for its capabilities and suffer on the climbs.

One thing I would like to add, this year's t-shirt is a bit bland, my 2022 shirt is MUCH better but it's not the reason we do these.

I know, Trek(Bycycle line) has a sale on the 1ste gen, Super calibers, still quite steep.

Have you Tried Rapide, if he has stock, you will have it in the morning.

How many kidneys will this group-set be?

MywhooshGO does not have any "spectators" jumping around and rendering of graphics happen as you go, if you don't mind this, it works well.

Have you tried My whooshGO, it is much easier on resources, I don't even have sucha power full graphics card and mine works like a dream.

So I suppose my R601 bid is not gonna cut it...😎

I actually saw a Trek Super caliber with Drop bars on the race, proper weapon.

Best is to go to Cajees they might have something other than that we have some Shops run by pakistanis, they have these type of spres.

I could not agree more, I had a good time until the beeste-kraal, then hit the wall so hard and started to cramp, I sat under the shade of a few trees to get to WP3, limped home with the help of a friend and some strangers that gave me Cramp block, then the part next to the rail way, you just can not get momentum, all down to Nutrition and pacing I suppose - apart from the cost, I don't think I will be back.

I think it requires quite a powerful phone but the only gripe I have if that I cannot use a power meter as a cadence sensor, otherwise the set-up was super easy, I got it working on my Samsung A32 but its not smooth.

Jirr, Spinnekop us "normal folk" just want to achieve a bronze medal at best, thanks for making us feel completely like weaklings.

I have roughly the same spec laptop with a M.2 SSD and runs very well with Mywhoosh GO, I don't mind the scenery without spectators, I normally do workouts only anyway.

Remember sunscreen, it's going to be a long day out, and maybe a buff for the dust. Mistake I made was not eating enough in the first half and then over consumed at the halfway mark (Beestekraal)

My problem is I only have a HEAVY D/s.
