  1. "You are addicted to cycling!" There are much worse things to be addicted to my friend 😜 Looked crappy out but besides the wind, it's always there anyway, it was actually πŸ‘
  2. Even that I think he needs lots of gears for I heard πŸ€”
  3. So I know an oke with a taser and another oke with a help my trap .... The taser gent says anytime we want to test, the helpmytrapper not so keen If you are or have a volunteer we can check it πŸ™‚
  4. I must be honest that I have on (rare) occasions made what I would consider a low offer, not ridiculously so though, on something that I either didn't need now but might in the future or don't really need but it would just be nice to have .... Generally only after it has been in the ads for a while and always with the caveat added that I know it's a low offer but as per above reasons ... In all cases they have been received courteously and mostly rejected, I'm cool with that, but here and there got something I hadn't bargained on As you say the options are accept, reject, ignore or negotiate
  5. Wasn't that BigLem fellow the record holder at one time?
  6. The stories I could tell ...
  7. Those, and all these 'chipped' things are not bicycles and those are not cyclists .... Anyone would be hard pressed to convince me otherwise! Akin to the talks of races where dopers should be allowed to race each other and take whatever they want so there should be races for these help my traps where they 'outchip' each other Really sad for the many many ebike cyclists who just get saddled with this bad rap Right now I've got that of my chest ... I'll go for a ride 😎
  8. Are you even a cyclist then?
  9. As a general rule I keep seat height, level and 'KOPS' (ja ja I know 😜) the same, the rest depends on the bike and some degree of comfort Hence why I'm surprised that slight nose down feels better indoors ... Did my longest ride on that setup (1 hour) yesterday and all good
  10. That's cool! I notice though that you use it as a proper training tool, in my case it's purely to avoid EXTENDED rainy days out on the bike 😜 Happy birthday BTW πŸŽ‰
  11. Fortunately yes 😁
  12. I have this theory about the Zwifters (or take your pick of indoor poison) and Wattbikers .... Often very strong but no or very little bunch/race skills But don't mind me, just the opinion of a 'timer πŸ™„
  13. Through a stroke of luck I'm no longer using an old 'guess' PowerCal power from HR calculating magafter ... it did the job to make it interesting but didn't really help if you actually wanted to race someone or do a planned workout Using a 'proper' power meter is like flippin night and day! Was gonna say my pain cave is now complete but is anything cycling related ever? Not at my house anyway 😜 Seems a waste to have it on a dedicated indoor bike that'll not have much use but since it would make no difference to me on my 'assorted' training bikes and I ride outdoors for fun not numbers I guess 😎
  14. In cycling as in life it takes long to realise that sometimes with an easier gear you can go just as fast if not faster! As we were reminded by those in the know, Jackie Lester et al, in my early cycling days 'he who spins wins' Cracker day for a bike ride on the Highveld 😎
  15. Made a few changes .... A little too 'minimalist' I guess Added a 'dummy' left shifter purely to have an additional hand position, shorter stem and turn it 'up' ... Adjusted the seat nose down a little compared to my normal road bike setup. Certainly feels better now As an aside anyone else find they need a different setup on the trainer versus their normal road setup?
