  1. What Aeropress are you using if I may ask?
  2. I now that bike. The previous owner hardly ridden that bike (wheelset was basically new with awesome Chris King hubs) and he looks after his stuff. Wishing you only good miles on it.
  3. Please note this trainer is not supported with Zwift: https://zwift.com/hardware
  4. Sorry, just want others to see a better picture of your beautiful bike upright.
  5. Supply & Demand like Jewbacca stated. I am quite upset, sold my Kickr Core on the Hub for R10k with a cassette in late of 2019. Now I miss it but the retail price is now at R18k. I paid R13k for mine.
  6. I have used Ciovita, Castelli, Vye and Giordana. I can confidently say that my Giordana bib is the most comfortable out of the lot. (I ranged the comfort from weak to best) Ordered the RS S9 bib from ASSOS. This will be a gamer changer for me or not. 'Dale highly recommended them to me as it is the only brand his uses. Let's see post-lockdown how they perform.
  7. You are a machine, that distance indoor is bonkers. Respect.
  8. Cycling OK, so I was involved in my first crash with a motorist on 12 March 2020. Needless to say it wasn't a pleasant experience at all. Doctor said I will be off the bike for 6 - 8 weeks. The whole incident knocked my cycling completely, I considered selling my bike and get back into PC Gaming again... Luckily I have a good cycling friend who is on my case to prevent me from doing this and I am thankful for his friendship. Browsed through my library of memories from the cycling and the nostalgic hit me very hard. It will be a stupid move to sell my bike and leave cycling because it only provided good things in return. Awesome new friends, coffee shops, amazing views, suffering and not to mention the health benefits too! And overall well-being. So here goes: 2008 Giant TCR Advanced T-Mobile Team Full Ultegra 6800 Groupset (except for front derailleur - R8000) 53/39 11-28T 4iiii Precision Power Meter Shimano R550 SPD-SL pedals Giant SLR 0 30mm (these are bulletproof, was completely unharmed in the accident) Continental GP5000 25C SwissStop Yellow King fi'zi:k Antares Versus-X K:ium Saddle Deda Elementi Presa Handlebar Tape Ritchey WCS Carbon Logic II Road Handlebars Giant Stock Stem Weight: 7,2kg

  11. Big pp, sorry could not help the PewDiePie reference. He is also very fond of Japanese Whiskey.
  12. Oom Kris met sy kuite, drop seker so 800W daarop!
  13. What a bike! Piece of art hat.
  14. Premium Cycling Apparel Since 1976
  15. Tadem Power!
  16. This will be your best or worst upgrade to your bike. If you know how to train with power, this is an excellent tool! Also rocking a 4iiii on my TCR and wow it is amazing! The reason why I said worst, now you can see how weak you are - well is my case it worked like that!
  17. Tricky one that... I am a moderator on Carbonite and you would be surprised, we deal with bad deals and there are a few very reputable users (with high feedback scores and long time users) that just went south completely and in the end, the said users got banned for life. People are strange and they sometimes clutch out.
  18. Bumping this thread. I ALWAYS ride with my lights (front and back) and yes this includes daylight. Even for my short Uni commutes it helps quite a lot in traffic so that motorists are aware that you are behind them when you are passing on the left.
