Very suitable to gravel bikes, I've ridden that area often on mine 🤙

Keep an eye out for Ash today, she took it easy yesterday with the hope of giving it beans on todays lumpy stage 🤙

This past weekend the Team Flip group in the Cape got a couple of like minded nutters together to knock out a 100 miler on gravel and mtbs. We did a mixed surface ride between Durbanville and Riebeek Kasteel.

I'm not sure why UAE or Colnago have to prove anything to anyone with the bike change strategy. Taddy was faster than everyone else... except Vinny, that proves enough already. He just got beaten by a better rider on the day, it happens, pretty often in the Pro peleton.

That should at least help track the box down

A Neo-Retro Daccordi SLX that popped into my workshop for some attention this weekend. Running full Campag 11 speed SR and rolling on some carbon hoops. Weighing in at 8.7kgs... not bad for an old steel frame with a chrome fork 🤙 You'll see it often on the Northern Burbs roads this summer.

That was an amazing weekend of bike racing. The Tour that keeps on giving 🤙 Vinny might come across as a reserved introvert but under that shirt beats the heart of a Lion. The race of truth will deliver the final bullet.

If that pic doesn't make you want to get out and ride gravel then nothing will 🤤 Great shot, now I'm wishing I was on my bike 🤙

I'm new to Zwift as well and have my 11 speed gravel cluster on my trainer and I don't seem to be experiencing the same issues as you. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't really matter what cluster you're using as it's power based. As mentioned, doing the FTP test is important though, all future intervals sessions you do after that are based on your FTP results. 65W at 85rpm is very light on the pedals, you'd need to be in the small blade up front and high up at the rear. Just be careful of the dead zone in Zwift where it tells you to ride at a particular wattage and if you let it drop below that, it increases its resistance automatically to force you to output those watts but it can turn into a death spiral quickly where the trainer basically kills your legs by upping the resistance quickly.

Yussus, everything about this bike looks wrong and yet it looks so cool. Kind of reminds me of one of those Mad Max ratrod harley's 😲😄🤙

@leon_pro, just before sunset going up the back of Devonvalley near Stellies. Not sure why he's pulling such a strained face though, the climb isn't that steep 😉 So good to have a bit of sunshine in the Cape for a change 🤙 Vanaand maak ons weer so 😃

They weren't the only ones to rate the Revolt tops 🤙 Had mine since 2020 and absolutely love the ride the bikes gives 🤙

I use an Elite Suito and it defaults to ZPower once you specify the trainer you're using and it won't allow me to change it to Classic. Any ideas on why or how to change this? I've notice some races don't allow you to race if you're using zPower.

I did the Puy de Dome on Sat morning and found it somewhat easier than the Col d'Aspin... or maybe I'm just learning to pace myself better and keep some water inside my body 😊

I tried the Col D'Aspin on Tues evening and really enjoyed it. The colour gradient worked well for allowing gear selection, especially just before hitting those red sections☠️ 🤙

6.92W/kg for ~21m is extra-terrestrial or one less testicle (get it?) no matter how you look at it.

That certainly was a shake up and kudos to Jonas for having the balls to shake the tree after Poggy was looking oh so confident in the few first days. When Jumbo took over the pace making my first thought was "you okes are going to commit suicide here". I was expecting Poggy to sit wheel and attack them with a kilo to the top and solo to the finish. I'm guessing Jumbo had an inclination that Poggy was feeling the pace otherwise that was just a very brave move that fortunately paid off. Bring on the fireworks today, let's see who's drugs have worked best overnight 😉

So good to have some sunshine in the Cape for a change. Even managed a ride on both days of the weekend, that's always a bonus... as is finding a new Seattle Coffee Shop that's open right next to Ciovita in Stellies 🤙 #ride2eat

I'm less pleased about the shifting of this date, although I understand the reasoning behind it. I've been desperately trying to hang onto some summer form and keep healthy until this event rolled around but with all the poor weather around, it's proving to be a major challenge 😧

I just bought another one 2 weeks ago after my previous one gave up due to load shedding surges. I find they work incredibly well and they load the DSTV app without issues as well 🤙 At a R1000 they still represent great value for money.

Correct, your Noddy Badge is in the post 😉 🤙

Hahahaha... I know the feeling well boet 😊 Next upgrade is the frame 😄

Lekka Johan, it appears as if that Rook has undergone some major parts upgrades since you bought it 😄🤙
