Cool. Thanks Geraldit will be available from 1-Nov on the race website.
I'll post the link once it's uploaded.
Hey Gerald
Any chance of getting the gpx or kml files for the 60km mtb route please?
Where has your bike taken you today?
Work and back.
Thanks bike

What he said. Particularly with the hillsAnybody seen a proper marked improvement going from HR to Power training that is not a pro athlete? It makes indoor training sessions easier to execute, but I am not 100% sold on the bike.
I normally just hang on up the climbs and recover till the next one, repeat. Will a power meter make a difference?
Tested it out today.I reckon it veers to the left thanks to all the added weight on the left side of the bar. Maybe at least mount your GPS on the right. If not for your sake, then for ours.
Works nicely.
Too cluttered: Nope not in the slightest. Having opposable thumbs helps too.
Veering to the left: Only when the fast okes want to pass.[emoji48]
Dropper posts are imo, worthwhile. Very happy with Lyne option. Only 105mm drop on the 27.2mm but definitely makes a difference.
Thanks will try with smaller grommets to neaten things up.
Suspension lockout and dropper switch are comfortably spaced and access to gears not compromised. Will ride it some more and fine tune position of each if needed. I usually only lockout suspension on black top roads so no problem there.
Fortunately I have opposable thumbs and should hopefully be able to operate switches accordingly.
Will keep you posted
I use DMR V12 pedals with 5.10 shoes (stealth rubber sole) with my size 12 (4E super wide) slabs of meat.A question for the knowledgeable flat pedal folk. Which flat pedals would you recommend for big wide feet i.e. UK12+? Do you think that wider/bigger platform pedals would make any discernible difference? My thinking is yes as a UK8 shoe would arguably fit a whole lot better onto a pedal compared to a UK13, for example.
I have been using the Giant flats for a fair few rides now and, while they have been doing a decent enough job, I find that a portion of my shoe hangs off the outer edge of the pedal leading to increased leg fatigue and a bit of discomfort (I wear a UK13). Would a wider platform pedal help with this? Or do I just need to work on foot placement more?
Been about 15 months and very happy with the setup
Stealth rubber is just the type of rubber. Generally vibrant or stealth rubber is used... originating in mountain climbing me thinks.
I use 5.10s but those Adidas high top shoes look lekker
A really good cyclist racing for RoadCover who really deserves the spot. Very nice guy.Excuse my ignorance, who is Clint Hendriks?
Good luck Clint!
RoadCover keep up the good work in Reunion
All good thanks. Will probably do the tape/grommet option. Drilling into the back of the tube is a whack easier as far as access for the drill goes.
Awaiting delivery of the dropper I ordered
What i did was tape the hole as well as i could to prevent debris getting in there. You can buy grommets to try fit in the hole. So far i have not had any issues with it. Can send you a pic of how i taped it up if you like
Thanks AlanD. I read the other thread. I note you drilled on the back side of the seat tube. Have you not had debris ingress being splashed up from rear wheel ?
Ordered an internal routed dropper. Going to have to drill hole near bottom of seat tube or possibly drill through bottom bottle cage hole.
Advice from those who HAVE done this would appreciated. Would you do it again?
Anybody else looking for a 27.2mm externally routed dropper post?
If the demand is high enough I trust our friends at Lyne will consider bringing one out.
I really want a dropper post but am not overly keen on drilling into the bike frame to accommodate internal routing.
If you are interested let's ask Lyne.
