Thinking of entering the Berg & Bush Descent and doing it on a Hardtail, or should I rather go for the 2 day?

Give Bkool a try: https://www.bkool.com/en They give you two monhts for free, unlike Zwift and Rouvy which is km based. Alos is the chepates of the "Paid" options, but has some nice routes. I gave up on MyWhoosh simply too many crahses happening at the worst times. Zwift and Rouvy are great, but are costly ompared to BKool.

Also have a pair of those Jabra's, they are great. ANC works really well to drown out the sound of the trainer, and the sweat resistnce is a bonus.

It's crazy, and entry level wheels. You'll end up spending alot of money upgrading.

Back when they put proper components on Hardtails 🙂

2017 Model

About 11kg

Yes, it's the factory colour

Here's my machine

Yes, some of the builds aren't great spec wise. I luckily found one second hand that has great components, only had to upgrade from 11 to 12 speed.

Agreed, I see alot of guys on races like the Atlas Mountain race use them, with drop bars.

Trek Procaliber, the Isospeed at the rear definitlely helps on the longer "gravel" type rides.

My two cents....Had a alu dual suss, heavy but loved it. Sold it went for a carbon gravel, very quickly realised that gravel is for youngsters or guys made of sinew only. Got a Trek Carbon Hardtail, love it, great off-road and great on road, and great for long gravel rides. I find the Hard Tail to tick all the right boxes for the type of riding I do.

Hello All, I'm wanting to put my MTB on my Elite Trainer but I need a Boost Adapter: https://www.elite-it.com/en/products/home-trainers/ecosystem-accessories/knurled-boost-adapter Onmico have in stock, but are not respoding to my mails. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Don't see alot of single track, and doesn't look like there is a water crossing.
