  1. I have complained countless times regarding the discrepancies of the Watt bike power readings. Tt times experienced +-20 to 30 watt swings depending on which gym / bike you select. Complaining at the gym falls on deaf ears. I am pretty sure WattBike SA are under contract to ensure the bikes are serviced and collaborated periodically.... ....the struggle is real!
  2. Yeah, nothing too technical. Mainly just gravel grinding and perhaps a few sessions in the cradle.
  3. Hi All Just bought a cycle cross bike to switch up my training. I am a triathlete so spend 100% time on my TT bike. Is it normal to use road pedals on the cycle cross bike? I want to avoid buying mountain bike shoes if I can. Thanks
  4. Its also on DSTV catchup strangely enough!
  5. Its like looking for rocking horse sh%t! Nobody seems to stock TT specific Di2? Anyone had a similar experience and knows which retailer stocks? Thanks
  6. Hi All Looking for some advice. I am currently running a mechanical 10 speed SRAM Red Groupset on my TT bike with Aero QRings and a stages power meter (sram rival). I want to upgrade to di2 but not sure what components I can keep. I also run a set of 2012 Zipps which I am not sure will be 11 speed compatible but want to keep. In order to upgrade to 11 speed di2, can I re-use my current QRings and crank and just upgrade RD, FD, shifters and Cassette and hopefully convert my current wheel set to 11 speed? Is this feasible or would it just be cheaper to buy an entire new groupo and convert my wheel set? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
  7. Hi All Interested to see what type of Wattbike or Power workouts everyone is doing. Perhaps in the following format: 1- Type of workout (VO2, Threshold etc) 2- Wattbike or power meter 3- Actual workout I will start with one of my favorites. 1- Threshold 2- Wattbike 3- Workout: 15 min warm-up - Z1, Z24 x 8 min sets @ 80-90% FTP. Every 2 min during each 8 min set surge to 160% of FTP for 5 seconds.10 min warm downLimp home
  8. Best place in Cape Town to do a 20min FTP test?
  9. Hi All I have seen allot more triathletes of late using the Aero (square) rotor chain rings. Can someone please provide a brief break down of the benefits? Thanks
