  1. some of the hubbers here have had a hard drive loaded with routes by Dave, how did that turn out.( is the routes as expected) considering sending mine there for the copy.
  2. he must be pinned to a sram post!!
  3. 10 speed crank/ blades works with 11speed.
  4. new Chorus and Veloce EPS launched. http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/2015-campagnolo-chorus-eps-electronic-shifting-road-group2-532x600.jpg
  5. regards the ext. drive - the routes that Dave loaded, do they have video and sound or just video. i spoke to him this morning,the software is in for some change .for the better apparently. Sufferfest videos will compatible soon amoungst other things. ipad version is getting an upgrade first
  6. you can use any trainer and a speed/cadence sensor.have a look at the virtual training web page
  7. may i jump on this band wagon too regard the sufferfest file. will send a pm
  8. gosh my pc only got fixed now.anyway my question for the it boffins here i am an android user with a Galaxy 10in just laying around and could put it to some use. now i have the ant usb stick which came with the P.Beam. i also have the Samsung connector adapter which makes the usb work on the tablet. ( my son watches movies from the tablet using the connector/adapter, usb stick , hdmi cable to the tv. works like a bomb ) i would like to use the tablet with the virtual software , have the software control resistance and view via hdmi on the big screen. ....ja ja ja ja i want a lot ... can this be done?
  9. if i may. i did this research. its about 5k more and bigger. not a huge amount of difference between the two for 5k
  10. got my Ant+ Pro Beam a few days ago. have not use it as yet. but again as everyone else said. ease of use not being tied down to software not needing a mega pc and the awesome back from Dave and company ( been dealing with them for over 5years and just great ) i would like to get more info on the Virtual Trainer from a users point ( maybe one of you hubbers can assist)
  11. or see the light
  12. wheel choice is like saddle choice , very personal. you would first look at your budget and then make a decision as per Dale below. you will have to do some research on the wheels . the look of a certain wheel can also do wonders to the way a bike looks overall and this will make you feel good without having to ride that wow factor. and no you not restricted to Italian branded wheels ( although one of the best )and yes 2nd hand is also ok from good a guy/gal good luck
  13. too small. i ride a 54 in this frame and my height i am 169 tall with a 110 stem
  14. does the garmin800 also control resistance? read somewhere it doesn't. any comments?
  15. What software are you using. Any thoughts on the cycleops virtual reality software. A concern I have is the data usage.(3G is virtually non existing at home so adsl line would thus be my only option -additional costs for me)
  16. decision must be made between the two. any hubbers have experience with either and why the move from one to the other. pros and cons of each will be appreciated. NB. from a users experience not sales pitch
  17. perhaps someone here can comment. i need to make a decision. have anyone had experienced between the power beam and the tacx trainer. pro and cons of the two.
  18. and i was really thinking of the tacx trainer vs the power beam - with all this hoo haaa it is really a pain and bother
  19. the set on the hub for 24k is worth it...( no ergos though.)
  20. with a setup like this i will only be riding indoors
  21. the Tacx Trainer range is very software dependent. you need a very high specced pc to use it. the PowerBeam not so.
  22. i had pneumonia , about this time of the year as well it takes a while before your lung capacity gets back to normal. you will be out of breathe very quickly and become very frustrated. with winter approaching, i would suggest the trainer and not out doors. And TAKE IT EASY.......
  23. If it is so not about the bike / equipment, why then are we spending on SR EPS ,Di2 or XX1, Trek, Pina ,Colnago etc,etc, Why not use the $$$$ and have the fat removed and make us lighter, or spend the $$$$ with Doctor Ferrari to makes us faster . its a lot got to do with the bike / equipment. just ask the guys who had to pay premium for repairs the last few days.
