4 minutes ago, AdventureAndy said:This whole thread is about the aesthetics around water bottles. The OP wants bottles with no branding on them.
Then buy them without branding for R12 each which seems a lot easier to me

Yesterday was really difficult for me to watch. Having hit the deck less than a year ago at 60kph ish I still can't bear to watch guys slamming the tar like that. I am really sad for Froomie. I wasn't expecting him to be anywhere near the pointy end of the race, but it would have been awesome to see him get to Paris.
The context of the race hasn't really changed, it's just made way more dramatic by how yesterday unfolded.
One thing guys don't consider are the mental jitters one gets after going down at speed. There will be some very nervous wheels in the peleton over the next 3 weeks which might result in a few more whoopsies. Trauma is real
Jalla showing great legs. I really enjoyed that. After a disappointing Giro, The Wolf Pack started the TDF perfectly
Good news is he is starting today's stage

Gently run the blade upright over the branded area like a block plane.
Why??

normally he comes out measuring to stamp his presence
hope he is playing mind games because he looked very average????
He's up there picking up points
18 hours ago, Mountain Bru said:I looked at the titan black bottles once, and decided against them because I figured black bottles would warm up my water faster than the clear or red ones.
Does anyone have actual experience in this though? Is there a noticeable difference?
Not really
Warm liquids are absorbed easier into the body

But I really dig this, and the classic Pug is a nice touch.
And, crucially, no white shorts. I got a warning for expressing my opinion of those just the other day.
I had a green Pug like that(without the rally trim)

I have black PowerBar bottles which are quite expensive but great and the valve does not leak even after a couple of years.There is branding but it does not bother me.Found them at Dischem

I asked kindly for it to be not removed, but that was ignored
I then created a new thread in the same style as the new zealand thread
That was 2 days ago and it still has not been approved.
A bit pointless having moderation on new threads if it takes over 2 days to approve a new thread
The approval of new posts was mooted as an option and I for one said it was impractical as it requires too much time.
So now we have it.

Lol you need to move out of Boksburg
Just now, Stretch said:no problem - I recreated it in Chit chat in the same format as the New Zealand one
Did you get rid of all the crap in there?
10 hours ago, Harryn said:I have temporarily re-activated my dstv just for the tour and for Wimbledon. With all the works stress, and the covid surge doom and gloom, i really need a pick me up, and I cant wait. I hope to watch as much of it as I can on the trainer.
Ditto
I'll do that later today
9 hours ago, DieselnDust said:Taking up space in the lounge when you watch tdf on your indoor trainer whilst also partaking in Zwift race. Apparently it makes the indoor experience more realistic despite the fact you're anchored to one place and have a laptop or ipad in front of you.
Like compression socks it works your core.... Apparently
Sounds like bs to me

What are they for?
44 minutes ago, SwissVan said:Yesterday afternoon was probably the hottest ride I've had for awhile, decided to do an easy ride up one of our local hill TT routes.
The difference in temprature at the top and on the way there was not worth the effort LOL
View from the top of the TT route
Remember temperature is measured in the shade not in the sun so you can deduct a good number of degrees

On holiday?Lovely area.
4 minutes ago, ouzo said:I'm going to disagree with you on this.
How do you pass other people riding slower than you ? you would also then need to go into the road.
The yellow lane is an emergency lane that just happened to be turned into a cycle lane, I'm certainly not going to fix my puncture on the grass next to the road, but I'll also make sure I'm not taking up the entire lane if possible.
Its gravel and the sensible place

No but if you put it in your frame it will help
49 minutes ago, Stretch said:Brilliant ride by Jenny today.. Timed her attack to perfection. Lecomte is absolutely in another class at the moment.
I wish they would get a French translator for this post interview though she clearly can't really speak much English and it's frustrating to see her struggle through it
They should interview her in French
22 minutes ago, Steady Spin said:Leaving 12 people and 5 vehicles in the middle of nowhere. Worst part is the trip was supposed to be all inclusive and catered. Imagine being one of 12 people and dinner consisted of clubbing together all the snacks that everyone packed.
Sometimes people do the strangest things when a) they panic or b)their mind justifies the action.
An example of b) is the guy who after climbing Mt Kenya I think it was and reaching the summit took the tin which was kept on the summit in which you recorded your achievement
I believe this one was panic
Sounds like exactly the opposite kind of person you want as a leader
