Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 9, 2020 Share Does the bag get in the way when pedaling?not at all but when I stop to admire the scenery the velcro they use on the top tube tabs catches my beloved assos so I need to do something about this - its not standard velco, works well but munches lycra Jako De Wet and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadvdw67 Posted July 10, 2020 Share A cheapie to get some extra mileage and save the MTB for trails, and took the "advice" of many a hubber and got a red one, because its faster..... Trevz, Wayne pudding Mol, Riaan H and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Bird Posted July 11, 2020 Share Got a 9 speed 12-32 cassette. Still rocking the Tiagra 10 years later. It’s so cheap to maintain so I am saving the MTB a bit. Tired of grinding up 12-15% gradients on a 39 and 28 combo (at first it was a 23) especially on a long ride. Living in a very hilly area. Hills are either straight up or straight down. Will be getting a hanger extender from Rapidé. ???????????? Riaan H and Holmsie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel_ZA Posted July 13, 2020 Share Oura Ring .... Let’s see how it stacks up against all the Whoop influencers....i have also had my eye on the Whoop or this ring... Please keep us posted on your experience. Where did you order it from and how long did it take? WrightJnr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted July 13, 2020 Share i have also had my eye on the Whoop or this ring... Please keep us posted on your experience. Where did you order it from and how long did it take?I'm also interested (although the price still seem prohibitive to me)But I'd rather wear this than a whoop bracelet) WrightJnr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted July 13, 2020 Share Nice one! Mind sharing weight, internal width and what it cost you? Awesome new wheelset from Nicholas the Wheelbuilder. Spank rims on Hope Pro 4 hubs. 20200713_2.jpg20200713_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted July 13, 2020 Share i have also had my eye on the Whoop or this ring... Please keep us posted on your experience. Where did you order it from and how long did it take?I wonder which is better, the ring is certainly much smaller. I was surprised how thick the whoop is.

WrightJnr Posted July 13, 2020 Share i have also had my eye on the Whoop or this ring... Please keep us posted on your experience. Where did you order it from and how long did it take?Will do, looks like it needs a good few days/weeks to get all the trending data. Ordered from their website, believe it’s the only way for now. I live in Dubai and it took 7 days, mate in Jozi ordered one before me and took about 10 days. So at least we know they can ship most places and delivery is reasonably quick.

WrightJnr Posted July 13, 2020 Share I'm also interested (although the price still seem prohibitive to me)But I'd rather wear this than a whoop bracelet)Yeah, not the most cost effective way to measure some metrics. But whoop comes with a subscription fee so you need to determine break-even point between the two. Whoop definitely has a few more features and more aimed to the athlete. Ring seems to be more aimed at overall health and wellness. Once I have a few weeks of data and insights I’ll post some info. So far, I can confirm ring is super comfortable and it’s fit and forget. After months sleeping with a Fenix5X Plus on my wrist this is a dream (pun intended). RossW and The Ghost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
