Many many good memories 😁 Waiting for my mate Ed to declare the start of autumn 😜

Don't know about books of any sort but I do recall that Hendrik Lemmer held the fastest MTB time, not sure if it still is though!

I have a 520 and 810, both with no good power buttons 3D printed replacements with a tiny spot of duct tape has done the trick for me, the STL files are available on Thingiverse. Using them like that for over a year, very occasional light rain has had no effect .... I do have protective covers on both a well

Time for some easy days BUT .... still avoid the full sloth 😎

Totally understandable!

As Charlton Heston once said, ‘you can pry my analog bike from my cold, dead hands’ 🤪

Just as a matter of interest, to those who may know, what difference would it make on a 1x drivetrain 🤔 On a 2x having the correct ones I assume it would affect when the FD shifts ....

Overheard a Roadies vs MTBrs discussion this morning ... just have to shake your head 🤔 There are 'pratts' (my FIL David, a great man, taught me that word) in all walks of life including cycling, in ALL of its disciplines! It’s also not good for your own cycling development to ignore other disciplines within our sport. But hey everyone wants to be part of the 'cool kids' I guess 😎 I love riding bikes, ANY bikes!

I've known @'Kaze Pete for a long time ... just trust me he needs it. He's also one of those that does what he has researched and found to be right not what the 'cool kids' are doing Just saying 🤪

You mean to tell me no one out there in the Dome has 'chipped' their help-my-trap yet 🤔 As an aside ... it occurs to me once a rider has gone 'E' there's no going back, someone I know did the 'I'm getting one while I get over this temporary illness' then was going back to his proper bike. Has since recovered, chipped the old one, bought a newer more powerful, longer life one and I'm sure a chip will be 'inserted' as soon as his finances have recovered. Maar nou ja hier sit ons ....

As I recall you were there .... did you see any?

I don't know where you blokes are riding/racing I've done a race here on my local trails a while ago (Fast One MTB) and also road (Fast One Road) I might have seen a few gels and 1 or 2 bottles, that's it .... no 'heaps of trash' I've also done that 'dick measuring' race we don't speak of ... I don't recall people tossing litter left right and centre Maar nou ja ... maybe I'm just dof

You don't have to choose gravel over anything .... it's just another cool bike thing to do 😎

Silver spokes 😳 mon dieu ... they are for poor people 🤪

Was just gonna say, doesn't say 'miracle worker' 🤪

How was that ITT result yesterday 👀 Amazing the gearing these guys are riding and then a 68 chainring with 165 cranks... it's almost the same length as the actual chainring if you know what I mean!

Take your time and all the coffee you need!

Pondering the things of this world .... as a cyclist would you give up tailwinds if there were no headwinds 🤔

Was going to comment that I've not had a days trouble on my disc road bike, not with noise or bent rotors, nada nothing! Then I remembered ... it is one of the very first Tarmac disc frames produced. Uses MTB calipers and hub spacing ... I am using 140mm rotors though. Happy days, for me at least 😎

When the weather gods are with you 😁

Brake not break dammit 😞 Sorry but just could not stop myself ...

Were the activities on Garmin Connect though as a matter of interest?

Between my wife and myself we've bought quite a lot of stuff, we however don't stress and fret about the delivery etc. When it comes it comes, never had an issue .... I've got loads of cycling gadgets and goodies, cable ends, valve cores, Garmin mounts, tools, Espresso cleats Only had one thing that to my mind was a 'flop', a pliers thing to help release tight tubeless tyres ... doesn't work but was only a couple of ZA rondts

I'm no expert but assuming a normal Garmin/Strava setup I would first check that the uploads are going to Garmin Connect If not I would remove the device/s in Garmin Connect and then add it/them again .... If they are in Garmin Connect then perhaps remove and then add the connection between Connect and Strava? Just thoughts not outright expert IT advice 😎

Are Trek and Giant ISP the same 🤔
