BikeisLife Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 was checking out the new Silverback Stratos. Interesting design but not sure if it will fit a 750ml bottle on the down tube in medium and small. Maybe 2x500ml bottles is enough for a smaller rider?Also those seat stays are super thin!Mani and Henry's Scalpels are Be youuuuuu teeaaaa fulll. Had a chin wag with the Scott SRAM boys as well. One of the advantages they have considered is the rapid change out of derailleur should the rider break one and the mechs recon they saving about an hour on gearing tune ups because they don't need to remove and clean out gear cable housings. They can focus on the important stuff like keeping the suspension and brakes working flawless.Darn good salesmen1x750ml bottle on the downtube1x 500ml bottle on the seat tube. Some interesting technology on that frame.
JohanDiv Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Did i just see some ladies cut the course? That might come back to bite them at the end of the stage..cutting those S-bends you definitely score around 30 secs.
Gnarly Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Did i just see some ladies cut the course? Yep, didn't even know KE ran a downhill technical clinic.
Mackie Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Did i just see some ladies cut the course? They certainly did. I remember Kevin Evans getting a time penalty a few years back for doing so on the prologue, surely the rules should be the same?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 But why are they pushing!?! They're super fit XCM riders who should be able to ride up a small hill like this!?

Thermophage Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Too much "technical training" with the enduro hikers!Hopefully they won't now fall off the bike while trying to drink from their water bottles considering their new skillset they should have acquired.
Ispeed_V Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Gaze appears to be suffering from the effects of his off yesterday
Andymann Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 One of our mates is riding with her Dad - Peaceforce. Think she's also the youngest lady in the field at 19 - hope they do well, but I reckon this is a little different to the regular Spur school races she was doing last year.....
Ispeed_V Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Anyone else having trouble with the live feed?yes> was the same yesterday
sias Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Fumic and Avancini using the backpacks to miss out on one of the waterpoints and put pressure on Scott-Sram? Didn't make the most of that opportunity though...
sias Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Fumic not looking too hot...Any lifting of the pace and a gap of 10m opens up...
