  1. Have you found an answer to this yet? linking to Strava or Garmin express?
  2. I think that Froome is done for. I like the guy but. Last year he did not put much time in on the climbs (only seconds). He put time in with opportune moves and not on the climbs in the TDF. Can he do it now at the Giro maybe but I don't see it.
  3. I am currently looking at the EVzero's
  4. https://www.easybike.co.za/oakley-ev-zero-path-matte-black-prizm-trail.html please also check the in the box, it shows different glasses.
  5. Aru is a pro. He should have checked his bike out, before the start. He knows what's coming and should have made sure his bike was what he asked for. Pro's are Pro's and they should take responsibility for their things.
  6. There are body x-ray scanners that are used on our mines here in SA, portable ones as well. you could easily hang the bike up by the front wheel in the scanner and take an x-ray scan. the scan is 15s so very little time in dead. Now if these scanners can pick up a 1carrot diamond that has been swallowed then it will pick up any dodgy tech.
  7. Take the first half easy, it is very easy to go hard and blow up near the end especially if the wind is blowing
  8. I think that Cycle Lab would make you a nice offer. I think that it would fetch a nice penny.
  9. With the times being so close at the top, it is going to be interesting to see what happens if or when one of the GC guys has a technical. Will they wait for all the GC guys or only Froome or will they put the hammer down???
  10. to win this year the GC guys will have to start pushing early for Yellow. Once you have the Yellow it is easier to hold it now than to fight for it when you don't have it. Its changed from the Lance days were he did not want it early.
  11. I Think that April - July would be doable. recovery takes time yes. surely you could recover and get back to peek fitness in 2 + months. It cant take you more than a month to recover.
  12. I Love mine. TR gets you going and as mentioned its long only 60-90 minutes. if you want you can go to 3 hours. I use mine even in summer, getting onto the road is a challenge. 90% training with TR for the 36One this year. even their podcasts are good to listen to every week.
  13. Pitty I missed this. It looks like a fantastic event. almost the T20 of cycling. I think that it is going to be an event to watch in the future.
  14. It is really good to see a race were the climbers are not running away with it. I think that if races were more like this it would bring back the spectators. The fight between the two major disciplines climbing and TT makes things exciting. If TD has a small deficit going into the final TT it is going to be a hum dinger of a final stage.
  15. Going back the Carbon vs Alu video. you can hear the carbon inside the frame cracking. When would you stop and consider it busted? when it fails or at the same point the Alu fails. The problem is that you don't know this point on the trail.
  16. I am the Chair for a National shooting sport. The funding from government is non existent. Maybe because it is a shooting sport, but is besides the point. We send a team every year to the world championships. The sport pays the entry fee to the event and in Euro's it not cheap. The team then has to pay their way unfortunately. We try every year to get funding from SASCOC and the Loto. We only once received money from the Loto and that was because the Chairman at that stage was in local government and knew the people to talk to. Our government is missing a prime opportunity here to show and brag about the things that they could be doing in sport. I am not surprised by CSA but I am a little concerned. There are more members in CSA than Hockey etc so the funds should be there. On the other hand the sport is big enough that SASCOC will have their hands in the pie.
  17. i got my straps from Aliexpress, you wait 2 months for it to get here but its way cheaper.
  18. Its a pity that the mic's the riders wear are not always on. if they were recorded then racist or verbal abuse could be found and action taken. we can only see physical abuse but not hear the verbal. so it's only physical that gets acted on. It would also be good TV if we were given some discussions between the riders or between the riders and the team directors, like in F1.
  19. bike transport done. suppliments done. now its an african thing of "Hurry up and wait"
  20. As far as i know and understand, it is your body weight. Most bikes etc wiegh prety much the same and are on the UCI weight limits so including bike weights has no relevance then.
  21. the longer the crank length the lower the seat hight. the lower the seat hight the smaller the hip angle to your leg to at the top of the peddeling cycle. these points are more important to remember. as a new bike fit might be in order.
  22. 2 years ago a chap did the 180km with bear feet and clipless peddles, not even smooth flats
  23. If you get hooked on the bike and still able to stay on then it was not that hard.
