    Had a great ride on stage 1 & 2 and did much better up Long Tom than last year, but started to cramp really badly after that. Had to stop at around 30km to go and wait 5 minutes before cramps went away. And then again at 1.5km to go. Felt ridiculous being able to see the finish line and having to wait for cramps to go before my legs would move again. Definitely going to need to do more riding in the heat of the day before next years Jock. Can't wait though!

    Here's my Strava from last year: https://www.strava.com/activities/348406240 https://www.strava.com/activities/348498116 https://www.strava.com/activities/348676399 Had a really slow / crampy ride last year, but hopefully, this year will be better.

    The Strava feature will be coming to the Edge 510 as well in a firmware update between now and September. So hold onto that 510 for now

    I store them with the reamer. Just push the reamer in between 2 of the plugs on the plastic sheet. Sticks pretty tight so you should be able to get them out easily.

    I've had mine in for almost a month now, crashed twice (one was a direct hit of the bar plug to a tree) and they're still in. I have a habit of checking them before every ride though, just twist and see if they're still tight. They always are.

    Just to be clear, I didn't file them, I filed the insides of the bar. The plastic does feel a bit flimsy but they held up well when I clipped a tree with the bars a week ago. Still look good as new. As for the grips, I'm using chunkies so no problem with ragged ends.

    Does the Epic have a carbon handlebar? Check if there isn't an aluminum insert at the end of the bar. That's issue I had with mine. Had to file the inserts down slightly to get it to fit.

    Got mine from Bicycle Company in Centurion and installed yesterday. Was a bit of a mission on the Cannondale bars with the aluminum inserts, so had to file those slightly. Probably saved another 2g right there https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqtvbjkn5qvlilw/2015-03-27%2006.48.42.jpg?dl=0
