Also it's a headache to fit a board with those (wether it's a race board or a club members board) Edited September 8, 2023 by Jbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted September 8, 2023 Share 16 hours ago, 'Dale said: So cool that I can throw my leg over my saddle in my garage and roll out for 10-15 mins to this magnificent view… Good position for Garmin - mostly in wind slip of handlebar - unlike resistance and wattage loss when mounted on the top-cap or standing up on handlebar. Just needs a bit of duct-tape from top front of Garmin and around the bar to create a smooth aircraft shape. https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ineos-grenadiers-reveal-wattage-saving-of-duct-tape-aero-transponder-hack/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had an issue with the board thing you mention either, just hang the board on the brake cables on the front, helps to keep them tidy as well, or on one side of the bar. 3D printed mounts for your number board also exist, or are they also too heavy?

Robbie Stewart Posted September 9, 2023 Share That new addition at the bottom of the Hammer rides so well. It makes that bottom bit more spicy and fun. Thanks to Patrick and his build crew for making an already great line even better. All those hundreds of runs down the skills park over the course of the last couple of months has come full circle. What a jol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
